PTN

But tha one in Reveah is only good after they close all tha bahs and the broads with the pimped out hairdoos and the guido's with their camaros and gold chains show up

Wow sounds like he may have participated in this once or twice...but yeah the one in "Reveah" is where we went. Long drive from JP but worth it IMHO. Plus we were on our way to Portsmith.

Glad you had a great time in Boston. Too bad you didn't get to the Harpoon Brewery. It's in walking distance from the No Name Restaurant and they make it worth the trip.

Yeah, I'll be sure to visit harpoon next trip. Overall Boston's a great city. Not exactly what I expected, but generally good.

No mention of Penguin Pizza in Brigham circle?

It is definitely overlooked, probably because of its mostly college-aged crowd (like me), but 40+ taps and loads of bottles. Its beer list has over 200 beers, but they only carry about 75% at once. Though I may be partial because I have a mug on the wall there. The pizza is pretty good too.

My other favorite spots in the city are the beer garden at Charlie's Kitchen in Harvard square (good for outdoor drinking, $1 burgers), the otherside, both Bukowski's, and Deep Ellum.

I suppose if you were expecting a roast beef restaurant and walked into Kelly's I can understand your disappointment. But damn, I can't drive up rt 1 without stopping there... Large Beef 3-way.....*drool*

+1000. SO MANY BEERS! In addition to the 100 on tap they have hundreds of kinds in bottles. I think they have something crazy like 400 different beers.

Here's a link

You can also go to the Harpoon Brewery as well - they do tastings. They also have Harpoon Fest a few times year where they have bands, ect. - It's a druck-fest

Just realized your trip is over...didn't read the whole thread before posting

Thanks, I'm sure there will be future trips to Boston. I also forgot to mention that I was astonished at how many Dunkin Donuts were up there. You Bostoner's must live on coffee and donuts.
