the boston GTG has been set for Jan 29, 2005 at Sidney's Restaurant in the Hotel @ MIT on
Sidney Street (just off Mass Ave, near central square) in Cambridge, MA...it will be at lunch time and we welcome all fodorites and others

more details to follow in a day or two as we nail things down....we will have a small private room which will work slightly better than what we had a Legal Seafood last year....

public transportation is 3 blocks away at the Central Square Station of the MBTA...there is tons of parking and some is free...

details to follow

SEE YOU THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

additional information:

the hotel web site with directions is:

www.uniparkhotel.com

this has driving and walking directions from the T to the hotel...the hotel is one short block west of the corner of mass avenue and sidney street about 1/2 way between MIT and central square....it is in the middle of a huge new development...driving to this area is very easy.

the phone number for the hotel is:

617-577-0200

at some point, we will need to know if you plan to attend so we can inform the hotel about how many people to expect...

if you need additional info you may contact bob at 781-449-0903 or [email protected]

we had lots of fun last year when we got together at legal sea food in cambridge and we hope to continue that tradition...

we have a small private room next to the main part of the restaurant...a limited menu is available on saturdays as well as a brunch buffet...the bar will also be open....all are on a cash basis... i have made a small guarantee to the hotel which is 100% deductible from our lunch bill...

Topping.

I finally made it home to Brown County, Indiana to see the 16 inches of snow on my deck.

I heard the neighborhood had shivers when they knew you were there.

Sorry, my post should have been deleted.
It was a response to ennyllen who posted that the area for the Boston GTG was dangerous. They deleted it that one but not my comments.
Have fun, I already miss the area.

Hung out to dry mimosa?

That's happened to me before too. Your trading comments with someone when suddenly all of their posts are pulled. You're stuck having a one-sided conversation in the middle of a thread.

I'm really looking forward to escaping Indiana and visiting Boston.

the area where the gtg is being held is not a dangereous area at all...it is smack in the middle of an older industrial area (recently completely torn down and rebuilt with lovely new buildings) and the campus of MIT...many fabulous restaurants are within 4 blocks....

Hi Bob, I'm almost certain I'll be there unless my doctor on Monday says otherwise.

Mimi! You're back!
I've been worried about you!
I hope you're feeling much better. We've missed you.
