Leaving Thursday for the most racist city in the US, but since I'm white I'll be fine. I wonder if I can use my white privilege to score some free beer?
Anywho, youngest is turning 21 and wants to go to Boston for her birthday as she's never been. Wife has been there 4 times, raves about it, got the youngin' fired up. I've been there once, weather was shitty. Looks like it's going to be shitty again. Yay.

I need that like a hole in the head. Saturday afternoon (the highlight for me) my daughter and I, with a couple of friends will take in the Bruins game. Other than that, I'm on a need to know basis and plan on having some beers along the way.

Other than that, I'm on a need to know basis and plan on having some beers along the way. Too bad it's windy and cold and rainy. Some cool rooftop bars right on the water. Awesome restaurant in East Boston called Rino's Place. Great lobster ravioli and the Rino's special (veal, shrimp, chicken) over homemade pasta is to die for. Long waits but worth it. Split EVERYTHING- too much food. _

If you don't want to trek out to East Boston, Giacomo's in the North End is the quintessential Boston Italian restaurant. _

Supposedly a "hip" Marriott property. I'll bring'em down to earth. lol My wife said the T makes it easy to get around.

I recommend Reginas before the Bruins game.
Overall the pizza in Boston is insanely atrocious, but the original Reginas is the best pizza in the world imo. Weird.

Also pretty long lines at Regina's depending on when you go but it's in a pretty cool area. Not that you'll go to East Boston, but Santarpio's is the second best pizza in Boston. _

Sounds like a restaurant is no fail in Beantown.
