Thanks for stopping me from stabbing the guy with the American flag though. That would have crossed the line.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑11 Sep 2018, 10:29amDon't forget about how we went and threw rocks at buses full of school children!
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: Ahoy, dars a Matey sighting
Yeah, I was just messin'. Other than 21st that BBE mentioned, we covered a pretty good swath of the city in a couple days. The wife and her bff wanted to relive their mid-20's (they lived there for 6 and 10 years, respectively), so we went to a good mix of places that I enjoyed or could have enjoyed more if I was like 24.Rat Patrol wrote: ↑11 Sep 2018, 12:37pmYou went to Cheers. You are officially The Most Unremarkable Tourist.
First two nights we stayed in the south end near Mass Ave and Washington. First night we went to the north end to a fine if unremarkable Italian restaurant and then a cheesy bar with giant punch bowls and DBs singing terrible karaoke. Second day, I didn't really know where we were but we started our day drinking day at Bukowski's (really dug it), went to Dillon's (meh), then Pour House (alright, went too early in the day, apparently BBE and Doc hung out here once). Made our way to Barking Crab for some cheesy margaritas and overpriced lobster rolls (we had fun, though not a place I'd name drop to try to impress a local). After, went to the Trillium beer garden with the yuppies to get my NE IPA fix. They make some awesome beer. Then uber'd to Somerville to a hipster bar. I fought a homeless guy outside of the bar and then we called it a night.
Saturday, I rented a Ford Focus which was magically upgraded to an obscene red Jeep Wrangler:
We drove out to Amherst for a wedding. I got drunk and danced a lot.
Sunday, made it back to crash at wife's boss' place which was a super nice old money place on Beacon St. We got the T to Brookline for lunch. Wife showed me more old haunts. Hustled back and had the BBE hangout, then finished out the trip with diner at Atlantic Fish Company.
That was my Boston/Western Massachusetts trip. Judge away.

I see no mention of the great state of Vermont.
Re: Ahoy, dars a Matey sighting
I’ll see if I can convince the wife to do a beercation to rural VT. Hill Farmstead would be a big visit for me.

Re: Ahoy, dars a Matey sighting
I'll give you a 30% nod for Bukowski's, but I can't abide by that Hoyish rating for Dillon's. I did some of my best career work on Wednesday mornings hung over as shit after marathon Tuesday nights at Dillon's.matedog wrote: ↑11 Sep 2018, 1:39pmYeah, I was just messin'.
