S&S is decent value IMO and has a reasonable bar and beer selection. they are not a brew pub or real beer bar but the food is good, the menu enormous and they have free parking (with a token you get from them). also walking distance from central on the red line. it can be noisy and i prolly wouldn't recommend it for a social. >> OK, I think CBC is the best choice.

JP> Summer Shack at Alewife? now that is pricy IMO. been there only about three times or so and the food is top level but not cheap. also a poor place for a group (we did a small social there with bdf a few years ago. plusses are on the red line and lots of free parking. the atmosphere is modern funky seafood. metal picnic tables are not fun to sit on for a real dinner. not a great food place but there is a bertucci's at alewife. could be change of pace for a social meeting. we have been to cbc many times over the years. we did redbones once and that was fun. one day we should do a party in someones place and get blue ribbon to cater. we did that for a damian party way back when he was teaching classes here (and i was producing them). i have been to tavern in the square in central for a meetup of IT types looking for jobs. very noisy and the food was so-so. some of the meetings did get a private room which helped. not a place i would aim for. christophers is always popular with decent food and beer. parking can be painful but it is on the redline. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ [email protected] -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
