OT - NO POLITICS April edition - RIP Gordon Lightfoot

For a round 1 game? Save that coin and come to a later matchup.

When the prices become (more) intolerable? I dunno.

If I'm spending an arm and a leg, I want to spend an arm and a leg on more meaningful/rare opportunities. But we're all different!

Lots of relativity in there - I am ridiculously wealthy, for example

if you do come later, or if anyone does, check to make sure the date doesn’t conflict with college commencements.

You wont get a room anywhere nearby.

Thanks Walter I’ll keep that in mind

You might find a cheaper hotel further away from the Garden. Check out taking the T.

Yeah the ones close by took my be surprise. I thought it might be neat to be right near the action (assuming near the garden is near the action, of course)

The Garden is near the North End which if you like eating Italian is good. The Garden also is North Station where you can pick up the T or trains to travel around Boston and other towns.

You have never been to Boston?

I assumed you'd just camp out on @Mione134 's front lawn, uninvited.

Twice, and have been on the subway. Not enough/well enough to understand neighborhood nuance tho

Don't give him any ideas!

I'd just steal Chibby!

I cannot walk much because of my hip but hope you come over and say hi!

 

[BMC]

When I come to Boston I usually stay in a hotel farther out and take an Uber to the Garden & back. It's much less expensive than staying close to the Garden

Consider staying just outside the city but on the subway. Here's an option walkable to Wellington on the Orange Line, an option at Assembly Row which is also an orange line stop but a shopping/restaurant development.

If you go this route you're outside the city but at N Station in 3 or 4 T stops.

There's also options to stay outside the city on the South Shore, but I would never suggest someone do that.

I wouldn't even recommend thinking about the disgusting, vile, inhospitable South Shore.

Thats how I normally go to the Garden
I used to do Wellington, but I prefer Assembly Row now. More lights and security and lots of places to eat or grab a snack before or after.

My sentiments exactly, except replace "south" with "north"

Although, beware the MBTA. I took it from Quincy Adams for the Winter Classic and for a sox game earlier this week. Slow zones are the norm, and it was over an hour for each trip. I could have outrun the train from NQ to JFK/Umass

 

[JRull86]

I will tolerate absolutely zero south shore slander.

Zero.

See? See how vicious these South Shore people are to say something so mean?

You think I’m coming all the way down there and NOT getting a shot of the two (three?) of us?

Mike, of all the north shore people I've ever encountered . . . you're one of them.

Heathen! The Cape doesn't start till you cross a bridge, and for the real Cape, you also gotta go around a rotary.
