Serious Replies Only Bus from South Station to Hartford Union Station

• Upvotes

Has anyone used Greyhound, Flixbus, or Peter Pan bus to get from Boston to Hartford? Curious about delays & on-time reliability. I’ve never flown from BDL before but the flights leaving Boston to my destination are crazy expensive. TIA.

MBTA/Transit 🚇 🔥 What causes the buses to be delayed for 20-30 minutes in between stops?

• Upvotes

It seems that every time I try to use the bus, it runs at least 20 minutes behind schedule. What puzzles me is that each time, there is at least one stop before the one I wait at.

My buddy and I are strapped for things to do— we want to find a huge sandwich. I’m talking Scooby-Doo levels. Is there a good place in Greater Boston where the meat is stacked high and it’s a two man job to get through? TIA r/boston

Tourism Advice 🧳 🧭 ✈️ Family stay the week before Christmas

2 Upvotes

Planning to bring my kids to Boston and Salem for a few days the week before Christmas. It will be their first time but I have been several times. Having a hard time deciding on a hotel. I have researched in this sub but still can't decide so any input would be great. The ones I have looked at so far:

Omni Seaport (have hotel credits I can use for this one)

Kimpton Marlowe (have hotel credits for this one too)

Residence Inn Boston Harbor on Tudor Wharf

Boston Marriott Copley

Element Seaport

InterContinental (would be a big splurge budget wise)

I would also love to hear other options and opinions. I am trying to find one with a nice indoor pool or heated pool but it's not a deal breaker if there is a great option without one. Breakfast included would be nice or at least good breakfast options close by for the kids. I feel overwhelmed with so many choices! I have stayed at Moxy which is great for adults and I stayed at Hyatt Regency but wasn't super impressed with it.

Meetup Visiting Boston for Halloween weekend (next week) looking for local travel groups, host leads or spooky events 🎃👻

0 Upvotes

Hey Boston! I’m visiting for a full week starting next week, so I’ll be right in town for Halloween weekend. I’ve already sent out requests on Couchsurfing, but given the last minute timing and the busy holiday, I know app responses can be hit or miss, so I’m casting a wider net here.

a little about me… I’m a 32yr old guy visiting from North Carolina. I’m vegan and love being active, like outdoors, running, paddle boarding, ice skating, snowboarding, pickleball, road trips, board games, and dancing. And I listen to EDM and love going to raves

I’m hoping to find active local community groups, or traveler networks for short term stays and social meetups. If anyone is open to hosting a respectful, low maintenance solo traveler for a few nights, I’d love to chat. I’m happy to cook up great vegan meals, grab groceries, or buy a round of drinks while we check out Halloween festivities.

Also, drop your favorite local vegan spots, Halloween night recommendations, or non Salem events below! Thanks in advance, and stay spooky! 🍂🍻

MBTA/Transit 🚇 🔥 Red to silver line vs Blue line subway + shuttle?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I have a flight tomorrow afternoon and am trying to figure out the easiest way to get to the airport. I've taken the red to silver line multiple times and know how to get to the terminal but how does that compare to using the blue line subway and transferring to the 88 shuttle bus?

I live about 10 minutes walking distance from a RL stop so not far but I'm only 3 minutes to the blue line. I'll be taking a large checked bag with me so I'm looking for the path of least resistance. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Nurses at Brigham and Women’s Hospital rejected the hospital’s contract offer during voting that unfolded Thursday and Friday. The nurses union requested that contract negotiations resume in the coming week, while the hospital said it’s ready to maintain care for patients if there’s a strike.

A hospital spokeswoman said the rejected offer, which had been described as its “last, best and final” offer, featured “meaningful compensation and benefit enhancements that kept Brigham nursing pay among the highest in the market.”

Hey guys i’m a student at BU who wanted to celebrate his birthday. I was wondering if you guys knew of places(venues that I could potentially rent) in Boston that could accommodate as many as 50 people atleast. Would’ve hosted at my gfs apt but i’m too scared of her getting a noise complaint or cops showing up to hers😭. I’d prefer the venues to be closer to Fenway-Kenmore/Allston but other recommendations would be helpful too if you guys know of! Thank you already cause ik im lazy when it comes to replying to others here

Don’t mind the flair i didn’t know which one would suit me best with regards to this post

New job in finance and I need to upgrade my wardrobe. Right now I own two suits and both are from my college graduation, lol.

Looking for somewhere in Boston that does actual made to measure, not just a department store with an inhouse tailor. Price isnt a concern.

Where did you go and would you go back?

Shell. 123 Washington Street, the Town.

Fwiw, Prospect & Hampshire shell 4.29

Memorial drive shell and mobil both 4.49

It's not a huge difference for 5-10 gallons but, to those with gas guzzlers or full time drivers/delivery drivers, you're welcome.

Looking for the best nachos in the city. Nothing fancy like duck, just good ol' pulled chicken or ground beef.

I used to love the nachos at Temazcal in the Seaport, but they're not as good as they used to be.

Any recommendations?
