Boston Question and Answer Thread

Figured I'd throw this out there. I work in the Pru Tower and have lived in Boston for 10+ years since going to school down the street, so if you have any questions about Boston, places to go, things to see or how to get around, feel free to post and I'll do my best to answer all of them.

General rule of advice ... Boston is a huge walking city with tons of great places to go, eat, drink and hangout just a 10 minute walk from the Pru. Keep that in mind when you're standing in line to get into Whiskeys or waiting two hours for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.

From the other thread ...

Best bets for getting beer or booze in and around the convention center ...

- Shaws Supermarket. It's very close to the Prudential Center. Just walk toward the California Pizza Kitchen, go down the escalator and then out the door. You'll see the Shaws across the street. If you're buying on Saturday make sure to head there in the afternoon - it has some funky hours and I also don't think its open on Sunday.

- Huntington Liquors. It's a couple of blocks away on Huntington Avenue. If you head out of the Pru Center entrance near Barnes & Noble/Cheesecake Factory that is Huntington Avenue right there. Take a right, cross Mass. Ave., cross Gainsboro Street and you should see it.

- Bradley Liquors. Only worth mentioning because it'll have the biggest selection of beer and wine over the other two. Its a bit longer walk (about 10 minutes) so you might want to take a cab back. Head out of the Pru and exit on the Boylston Street entrance near Gucci and Legals and bang a left. Just follow Boylston across Mass. Ave. around the outside of the Back Bay Fens. You'll see Fenway Park on your right btw as you walk up.
