Sounds good on the next trip. Hopefully we can get everyone, plus a few more, all together on the same night somewhere. It was good meeting you and hopefully you had a good flight back.

It was great to see some CCfans during my Northeast trip. Larry and Brian M showed up in downtown Boston, and Keith and Brad met up with me near the MA/NH border. I enjoyed both evenings.

I had been speaking to Brad and Larry through the internet for nearly seven years, but had never met either previously.

Hopefully another trip that way next month. Perhaps meet more Northeast fans.

I'm under the hopeful assumption that bkhallpass is still alive. I left him at the intersection of Congress and State St at 12 last night, and haven't heard from him since.

    Rookie hahahaha.

     Just caught this thread. If I had a couple extra hours to dedicate to driving I'd try to hook up with you guys at Smokeys. Would love to meet BKH & see some fans. Can't pull it off this time though, maybe next. Have fun boys.

Hope you got a decent feel for Downtown Boston.

Brian, shoot me an email and I'll send you my cell number just in case. I looked to email you, but looks like your address is set to private.

Well, a man certainly wants to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Although, being from CA we are somewhat known for the scenery back home

Maybe next trip. Friday nights are always challenging for something like this. BKH

Yeah...that pretty much sums Boston up....well that and horrific traffic and "wicked" corrupt politicians.

But all that being considered, it is a pretty fun town.

Yup, that's true. If you think Wednesday is busy, Thursday pretty much starts the weekend. If we're still out when Bell N' Hand and other Faneuil Hall bars start to get really crazy, I know a couple of places that will be a little more mellow. Shouldn't be a concern before 8pm or so though.

Well, in Boston. Certainly a lot of young people out drinking late on a Wednesday night. I like it. Perhaps I should have lived here as a youngster.

So, I guess it is Bell N Hand 5:30 on Thursday. Smokey Bones 5:30 on Friday. See you then.

Okay guys, Friday night we'll be at Smokey Bones in Tyngsboro, MA (on Nashua line). Brian will be there around 5:30 pm.

See you then!

As far as thursday goes, sounds like 5:30ish at Bell in Hand. Paul, glad you can make it too. Will be good seeing you again. Can get the details on that new boat.

There are separate plans gelling for Friday, so it sounds like Brian is going to be well taken care of and will see some NE hospitality.

I can't make Thursday, too much family stuff going on, will still try for Friday.

The Bell in Hand is a fun place, probably OK space-wise on a Thursday, definitly worth a try.

Well, it sounds like a lot of people are familiar with the Bell N Hand, so we can start there at 5:30ish and see how it goes.

Purple Shamrock is practically next door, so we could easily make that a stop if we decide to move around a little bit.

Hey BK - as for Friday the 19th, Salem, NH is a great spot to choose between Manchester and Boston, about 30 minutes from each city so it's right in the middle. I can suggest a couple of places right off the highway and if you decide on Salem, I would be able to grab a beer before I leave town for the weekend with you guys if it was early enough. Would be great to meet you and see Brad, Keith and others again. I'll keep an eye on this thread to stay in the loop...Hope everyone is doing well.

there are a # of places right around the area
if no other input maybe just plan to start at Bell at 5:30 on thursday

Sounds like Bri89 knows tha spot pretty well. Just pick one and I'll be there 5 to 5:30 time frame.

Less costly beer is always good. But then again, costly beer is always good as well. A local flavor would be good as well. I realize this is the financial district, so probably not the land of dive bars.

I am sure whatever you choose will be fine.

Keith and Brad were going to pick a place for the 19th. Probably somewhere near the MA/NH border. Should be some details up on that tonight or tomorrow as well.

Brian (Bri...) Glad you found this thread. Be great to have you join us and glad you know the area better than I. I wasnt going to be a very good guide for Brian H since I am not particularly familiar with that part of town. See you there thursday evening. Not sure of meeting details yet, but they should gel in the next 24 hours or so.

I wouldn't mind meeting up with you guys. I will be in the area from Nov 29 - Dec 10. I will be working in Norwell and staying in Rockland. I won't be staying the weekend but would be able to meet up somewhere any of the weeknights. I would look forward to meeting anyone from this site.

Another favorite downtown spot of mine is:
Foleys
Good draft selection, beers a shade cheaper than Faneuil Hall and a little less touristy. A little more local character as well.
It's on Kingston St., which is behind Macy's near Downtown Crossing:

Another good one is elephantcastle
which is here:
Elephant and Castle Map

I could go on and on. There's no shortage of bars near State St.!

Bell N Hand is a pretty good spot. I work a 10 minute walk away! I know some other spots as well, but can't go wrong with the first one.

Keep me in the loop. I usually get out at 5:30 or so, so could be there ten minutes after that.

Yep, new job in CT as of last spring. I closed on my cottage in Jan and had been looking to get back closer to home full time. Boston was great, but definitely like being closer to the lake, family, etc... even if it means living in the sticks.

The Union Oyester House is probably a little pricier if youre going to get food than the other places, but its America's Oldest Restaurant so its full of old world Boston charm.

This all sounds great. Did not realize you moved Tim. New job as well?

We'll try to get this all firmed up tonight and tomorrow. Like the Sound of the Oyster House or the Bell in Hand. Has a nice local sound to it.

Hey Brian, fellas,
Sorry I missed this thread till now...

Count me in for Friday. I'll check in with Keith to see what plans you guys have in place and look to tag along.

Looking forward to finally meeting you Brian!
Safe travels

-Brad

Tim- we'll be around Sunday if you need a refreshment stop on either leg of your ME trip. The girls would love to meet Tique too!

Larry, youre probably talking about McCormick and Schmicks, which is in Fanieul Hall- thats a good choice. There are quite a few choices around there... The Union Oyster House and The Bell in Hand are right on Union St as well.

Wish I could be there with you guys!
