Boston Sailors???
Just curious if anyone in the Boston area would be willing to give a newbie looking to buy
his first Mac a ride?
I'll be in Burlington for training August 10 - 12th but will probably get there a day or two before and stay a day or so
after to check out the sights.
If it would work, Great! and if not I can understand that too.
let me know and we'll keep in touch.

Re: Boston Sailors???
For a treat you can take the water taxi into Boston Harbor and check out the boats there.
Of course, if you are Burlington, you will probably need a car and get stuck on I93N....Ill be thinking of you on the water..

Re: Boston Sailors???
I abhor chains, but Legal Seafoods (across street from Kendall in Cambdridge) is pretty darn good.
Union Oyster House - has been good but touristy and can be packed.
Other than that, my favourites are (in pseudo-random order, these are not all fish places)
Lock Ober
Davio's
Plaza 10 (Fanueil Hall)
l'Espalier (loosely translates as "HA HA - we have healthcare")

get that accomplished correctly

Re: Boston Sailors???
Don't forget "The Barking Crab"near the courthouse,off Atlantic Ave, for the close to the water no frills seafood experience,and it's a short walk to oogle big sailboats at Rowes Wharf and the Constitution Marina. Consider taking the shuttle to the Harbor islands,too.George's Island(Ft Warren) is a good take.Catigale wrote:I abhor chains, but Legal Seafoods (across street from Kendall in Cambdridge) is pretty darn good.

Wow, so many good ones it sounds like!!! I'm going to have to figure out how to squeeze in 4 meals a day instead of just 3
