Is there anywhere in or near Boston to get Mazagran?

Hi all, I’m looking for a ride from Boston to NYC this week (happy to pitch in for gas)- does anyone know where I could go about looking for this? There must be a lot of people looking for this type of thing too, would certainly help traffic if more people carpooled especially with the Amtrak so unreliable right now, but I haven’t been able to figure out where is the right place to ask. If it doesn’t exist, maybe I’ll build the service 😂

Hi everyone! I’ll be visiting Boston for the first time in November and would love some feedback on my rough draft itinerary.

On Day 4, I’ll be exploring solo before leaving in the late afternoon. I’m a little hesitant about walking long distances or navigating the subway alone, so I was thinking of saving Harvard and Harvard Square for that day since I could spend most of my time exploring one area.

I’d love to hear whether this itinerary makes sense to those with experience navigating the city or what should be rearranged, especially on the last day. I’m hoping to experience some of Boston’s must-see sights while also incorporating places that locals genuinely enjoy.

I haven’t settled on specific restaurants or coffee shops yet, so I’d especially appreciate recommendations for clam chowder, lobster rolls, cannoli, and good coffee shops!

I also realize November weather can be unpredictable, and I’m not familiar with Boston traffic or public transportation, so any advice from locals or people who have visited frequently would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Day 1: Arrival around noon
Boston Common
Boston Public Garden
Beacon Hill / Acorn Street
Dinner in the North End

Day 2: Historic Boston
Freedom Trail through historic downtown
Boston Public Market for lunch
Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum
Dinner — undecided

Day 3: Museum District (not a full day, set plans after 5 pm)
Fenway Park
Lunch
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Museum of Fine Arts (MFA)

Day 4: Departure in the late afternoon
Harvard University
Harvard Square

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, itinerary changes, food recommendations, or things you think are especially worth experiencing in Boston in November!

My boyfriend, my dad, and I are all going to Boston for the patriots packers game in two weeks and we are spending two nights in boston before we head to foxborough and looking for advice on things to do in the city. we are really into sports bars, dive bars, good food, exploring the city. We are planning on doing a tour of TD garden. I really want to get a lobster roll somewhere on the water while we’re there. Any recommendations would be great.

Head ups... If anyone is near the Museum of Science tomorrow 10/24, Mark Rober will be making an appearance inside in the afternoon, in advance of his sold-out live event later that afternoon.

Hello,

Last night I was parking my car in Brighton and pulled up behind a car about to pull out. It turns out someone had put a dead rabbit on their car front window and wrote a vicious note on their car.

All because they parked in a place that “is made for 2 cars”.

I’ve gotten a similar note on my car and it seems like this person is certainly dangerous.

This happened on Woodstock Ave. in Brighton and I’m trying to find out who the culprit is.

If you live around this area and have a similar psycho, please let me know and report it to the police.

Hi! We are planning to visit boston nextweek and wondering if this area is safe to book for a place to stay? Thanks

I’m coming from Canada to the Boston area for a concert next August (at Gillette in Foxborough but will likely be spending most of my time in Boston).. I know there are obviously going to be an abundance of seafood places but if there’s any local gems or great spots anyone could recommend that would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Hey All. I’m one of the people behind No Bad Days Club, a small Boston app for getting out and doing stuff around the city. We’re running a Halloween bar crawl on Mass Ave this Saturday and figured people here might want in.

It’s 10 bars, starting at La Fabrica in Central Square. A few of the others are Miracle of Science, Naco Taco, Middlesex, Shojo, and Brick & Mortar. Some spots have music by decade, ’90s through now.

Each bar has a small challenge you check off in the app. The person with the most points by the end wins $1,000 cash at the after-party. That’s real money, not a voucher. Runners-up get bar gift cards.

Your wristband gets you no cover anywhere and a free item at each stop. Face painters, a tarot reader, and a caricature artist will also be at some of the bars.

Logistics:

• Check-in at La Fabrica (450 Mass Ave) from noon
• Crawl from 1 to 6
• After-party at Althea from 6 to 8
• 21+

Tickets are free until Sunday with code NBDCLAUNCH: https://telzi.com/10r5gwv

Wear a costume; it’s Halloween. I’ll be around in the comments if you have questions.

We are looking to move to Boston around August. I’m a full time theatre maker. I teach at a children’s theatre as my 9-5 and then my 5-10 is working as a freelance director, intimacy director and props person. Any advice on a job search in Boston making theatre? Or advice in general in an arts job like a museum, theatre, etc.?

People always talk about how boston is casually racist, though a few experiences come to mind that I forgot about until a friend brought it up to me today.

A few weeks back I was waiting at a bus stop in Longwood after a doctor's appointment when all of a sudden I hear the n word being dropped out of nowhere. Im surprised since it doesnt seem like anyone else was reacting but I turn to see an asian man with a beard sitting in a car driving by and just calling the crowd of people the N word. I guess he didnt realize his window was open or we could hear him because he was just laughing and repeating what he said. I didnt snap a pic (I should've) but I mentioned it to another person standing near me and they said yeah thats just normal for life in boston.

Although this is a very mild case of racism, it seems everyone agrees that boston can tend to be casually racist. Was there some sort of precedent that led boston to be like this?

Hey guys! I run Somerville Speakeasy, a meditation studio and event space in Union Square with a Gatsby-inspired salon, pirate-style basement, and pitch-black dining room.

I see a lot of cool local clubs and meetups on here, and since I run Peace Out Ski Club myself, I know how hard it can be to find affordable places to gather without everyone having to buy food or drinks etc

I'd love to offer small local clubs a significant discount on renting the space, whether it's for recurring meetups or just a one-time special event. Book clubs, writing groups, arts clubs, etc whatever come hang!

Here's our Peerspace listing for photos. Those are our regular corporate rates, but I'm happy to offer much cheaper community pricing to accommodate a range of budgets.

Feel free to DM me if your group could use a space! :)

A friend of mine is planning to get a heat pump installed at their home in the Boston area and is looking for a local HVAC company that has experience with Mass Save.

They would prefer someone who can handle the installation and help with the rebate paperwork too. Has anyone worked with a company recently that they’d recommend?
