I got several responses to my plea for places to eat in Boston. Many are reasonably close to the Copley. See you there!!

It's cheap, it serves fresh fish (right off the pier that it's on) (bought there, I mean) and it's insanely crowded at night. Bring your own booze. It's right between Jimmy's and the other fancy one, out on a pier. Try the chowder, there is a LOT of fish in it. Could be a meal for someone with a small capacity itself. YUMMM! ******************************************************************************* >From pyuxbb!bk Mon Jun 28 10:45:00 1982 Try Jimmy's in Durgan Park. Its a "sports bar" type of place. Or, for German food, try the Wurst Haus in Cambridge. ******************************************************************************* >From decvax!wivax!dyer Tue Jun 29 12:19:43 1982 I started writing down my thoughts, and things seemed to get out of hand! I stopped before it became a "Cook's Tour". Hope this helps, Steve Dyer Legal Seafood Park Plaza Hotel (5-10 min from Copley Plaza) Park Square, Boston Fish, fish, fish Dinner: $7.00-$15.00 Durgin Park Fanueil Hall Marketplace (across town, 15 min subway ride from Copley) Traditional "New England" fare--fish, prime rib, franks & beans-- the place with the rude waitresses. Dinner: ~ $7.00 - up The Romangnolis' Table Fanueil Hall Marketplace Northern Italian cuisine--few tomatoes Dinner: $12.00-$17.00 The main corridor of Fanueil Hall Marketplace is lined with vendors offering all sorts of edible goodies, from gyros to salads to desserts. If your party can't make up its mind where to eat, you can all nickel+dime yourselves to satiety as you stroll from one end to the other. The North End (beyond Fanueil Hall, towards waterfront--Haymarket subway stop) is Boston's Little Italy. There are LOTS of decent restaurants and very few duds. Best to stroll down Hanover Street (the main drag) until something looks interesting. Skip dessert and stop into a cafe after your meal. Avoid the "European", a tourist- trap, quite crowded and overrated. Dinner should run no more than $8-$12. Bangkok Cuisine Massachusetts Ave, near Christian Science Center (10 min walk from Copley) Thai food (very hot) About $8.00-10.00/person And for those on expense accounts: Cafe Budapest Copley Square Hotel (1 block from Copley Plaza) Old-world Austria-Hungary, lots of charm, very rich food. Dinner: $25.00 (if you're slumming) and up. Apley's Sheraton-Boston Hotel (1 block from Copley Plaza) Nouvelle for the businessperson. Expensive, much like Cafe Budapest. ******************************************************************************* >From decvax!genradbolton!rob Wed Jun 30 05:52:24 1982 Subject: Boston restaurants noname restaurant on Commonwealth Pier between Pier 4 and Jimmy's Fish $10 (should have a comment field also) Long lines at meal time, no reservations but really good food at very reasonable prices. Interesting place. ******************************************************************************* >From decvax!wivax!ss Tue Jun 29 17:31:54 1982 My favorite. Ken's Delicatesson 549 Boylston St. Just down a couple of blocks from the usenix conf. Reasonable. Great sandwiches, open 'til late. Might be a line to get in around lunch/dinner, but worth the wait.
