I'm not either (a childfree advocate). I raised several kids and just got "done" recently.

I'm just tired of kids in bars and breweries. I guess places with like DINNER are different, but bars and breweries. No.

EVEN IF they're not running around, they're STILL loud. They're STILL in the bathrooms. They're STILL holding up my service with "can I have 3 cokes?"

I mean if she's been good to your friend for years, then that's probably a pretty good sign. Trying to squeeze you for a broker's fee in a possibly illegal manner is just fucking weird though.

JFC. Im not taking kids in while I drink at 10pm.

I want to sit down to dinner at 5.

Dhcd works remote now. They go into the office 2 days a month

I’ve gotten Monica’s like once a week for ehh sevenish years hahah my Sunday comfort meal. It’s been there. I’m not sure why they don’t really advertise it, I guess I never noticed they didn’t. But it’s there! Maybe they like to keep it as an in-the-know thing? No idea

>it must be almost April,

To be fair, this is accurate

Please stop taking your children to bars and breweries, people. Yes, we notice. No, we don't like it.

Even like pubs or places with heavy food need to stop letting kids in after a certain time.

Just looking for smaller cheaper portion.

Brew pub serves food and had a seperate seating area away from bar.

Kids don't belong in a bar. Brew pub is a restaraunt...

Lots of gluten free options, I’d say at almost all popular restaurants in the area, whether or not they prepare the food in a spot where there isn’t cross-contamination is questionable.

La Famiglia Giorgio’s is probably a good option.

I've stopped going down Boylston in the Fenway, just so hard to get down the street now between double parkers and people turning left... just not worth it anymore. Faster to go beacon if you are headed to Storrow if you are coming from JP/Brookline/etc...

I hope you'll be ditching your car.

Given your ages, I would look at Lower Allston or Brighton Center. Very safe, walkable to a lot of stuff. There's trolleys and buses that will get you Financial District in about 40 minutes. There's good eats all around, plenty of fun & games. You really can't go wrong if this is your first neighborhood to in Boston. However - these are mostly student neighborhoods - so at some point, you do 'age out'. Avoid Alpha Management.

East Boston is fairly inexpensive still. The Blue Line will take you straight to Financial District in 10-15 minutes.

The neighborhood doesn't have a lot of fun and games, but you can access it all fairly quickly with the Blue (which is the most reliable line, usually). There is great Latin food, parks and public art. It's fairly safe and very walkable. The biggest negative is it's near the airport, so you'll get some noise pollution.
The other negative is that it's somewhat of an island from the rest of the city, so you can't just 'walk home' if the T isn't running, your only option is Uber. Jeffries Point has more people in your age bracket. Eagle Hill is a hodgepodge. Orient Heights is mostly families. If you know a little Spanish, you unlock a ton of DLC for East Boston.

I would look as far as Revere off the Blue Line. Though it gets less "city" the further you are.

I'd then look at anything off the Orange Line in Malden or Medford. Super safe, both have little walkable town centers with good eats scattered throughout. They're not exactly "city vibes" though.

Also Quincy. Though, it's a little farther away and off the Red Line, which has been really bad lately. Like Medford & Malden, it's super safe and has a walkable town center.

Your price range is fairly low, but for a small 1BR - I'm sure you'll find something. If you push to $2200, you'll do better.

Just FYI Marketbasket makes an awesome cheeseburger with fries for $3.99, and large subs for $6! Can't beat that.

That's a different ferry.

Clark Grant was killed yesterday evening, March 29. Link from the Globe: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/03/30/metro/clark-grant-indicted-fraud-alongside-activist-wife-monica-cannon-grant-killed-motorcycle-crash/

And text from the OP Boston.com link:

> Clark Grant, 39, of Taunton, succumbed to his injuries Wednesday night at Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton, Easton Police Chief Keith Boone said in a press release on Thursday.

> Grant and his wife, who formerly managed the now-defunct Violence In Boston nonprofit, were indicted on federal fraud charges a year ago, as prosecutors alleged they defrauded donors of the organization, committed unemployment fraud, and lied to a mortgage lender.

> Chris Malcolm, an attorney representing Cannon-Grant, released a statement on the crash Thursday:

> “We are horrified and deeply saddened by the loss this great man. He will be forever missed. Monica heard from him as he left work yesterday and was about to head home on his motorcycle. They told each other I love you. That was their last contact."

> Upon arrival, authorities found a motorcyclist, later identified as Grant, lying in the road and “suffering from traumatic injuries,” Boone said in the news release.

> An officer performed CPR on Grant along with an unnamed passerby until Easton Fire Department personnel arrived at the scene, Boone said.

> Grant then received medical treatment from firefighters before he was brought to the Brockton hospital, where he died, Boone said.

> A preliminary investigation indicated Clark was traveling southbound on Turnpike Street on a Honda motorcycle before the crash, according to Boone.

> The driver of the Jeep was identified by Boone as a 40-year-old Brockton resident. A 9-year-old passenger was also in the vehicle at the time, Boone said.

> Both individuals were not injured in the crash, he said.

P and K deli in Somerville. Not super cheap but under $15. Best Italian sub

What’s the difference between a brew pub and a bar? People think it’s ok to bring their kids to one of them

no. it's actually straight up embarrassing when people mention pizza in Boston because inevitably Regina's is brought up as the best and I just shrink back in shame. truly awful pizza and completely sad that this is the best pizza in Boston. I had some friends from new York come visit and they wanted to try some pies here, so I brought them to Regina's on a whim even though I personally don't like it either. but it was sooooo embarrassing when I asked if they liked it and they gave me a "yeah" and that's it. a couple minutes later I see them start spitting it into their napkins. when people ask about pizza in Boston now, I just say it's not really a thing here or I recommend blaze pizza.

Suck burn dude

When did they add that Last fall was last time i went and they only had the regular 18-20$

Would go wicked more often if i could get a half

No secret children’s menu, but I believe they’ll try their best to accommodate if you ask for tweaks.
