Don't tell actual Italians to have dinner in the north end lol. That'd be such an insult.

It's a great spot but "one of the loveliest places on the planet" is stretching it a bit lol

I mean technically it's not wrong.

I've applied for a couple of state jobs in the past year and I was very qualified for them. Heard nothing back.

Yeah I picked up a parka from the sale in fall and it's better than any LL bean coat I've worn.

If you want to attract women with your British accent go to the Midwest. I'm an average looker and I was fighting women off there. It doesn't work as well in Boston which is probably for the best in my case because I hate attention lol.

May and June is usually lovely. Boston has terrible nightlife in terms of clubs but some great bars and breweries. Most places close by midnight and 2am is the very latest.

Boston is expensive to stay in but it is a lovely city with great museums, some interesting neighbourhoods and shite public transit. Definitely worth checking out. I'd also recommend getting the Amtrak up to Portland for a couple of nights, for its size it has a better food and drink scene than Boston.

We need an honest manager who is not a yes guy. "This is the funding we receive and this is why it's inadequate to meet our needs." This new guy is near the end of his career so I hope he won't be afraid to rock the boat like this. Call the state out for underfunding the T. Also fix the culture of bad management at the T, no more safety inspections being signed off without an actual inspection and we need an effective oversight board that holds the T to account.

The T is a fucking disgrace lately but without knowing what your commute would be it's hard to give advice.

As a transplant I find claims that "the T used to be functional" hard to believe.

The MBTA, predictably.

I hope he finds a house near the red line so he realizes how shit it is and prioritizes that first.

This is so true. There also needs to be much more oversight than just one person because so much is rotten and he can't be everywhere at once.

"It's the best transit system in the world and that's why I'm here," Eng said at his introductory news conference at a Green Line station in Newton.

Wow way to show you're either deluded or stupid in your first press conference.

It is mediocre and a tourist trap. I laugh when people try to tell me it's a foodie destination or that it's "like Europe". Just no.

It's actually one of the few areas of Boston that I would say is a bit sketchy at 2am.

I'm from Europe... Any other questions?

Boston is honestly terrible for public restroom access, there are big areas with nothing around. Your best bet will be grocery stores and hotel lobbies.

My neighbors were up celebrating paddy's day loudly until 3am. I hope they enjoyed my courtesy press of their doorbell when I went out for my run at 6am.

Take the commuter rail to Cohasset and you're right at Wompatuck State park.

There's also a pond and hiking area right by the Hanson stop.

Nobody has mentioned this yet so the commuter rail has a $10 weekend ticket so you could take the train both Saturday and Sunday for just $10.

Be super active on Nextdoor and establish feuds with neighbors about property development.

"Later than March" but not specifying which year is classic MBTA.

It's irritating but if you refuse to pay I can imagine the broker being annoyed and pointing out to the landlord that your lease is considerably below market (which it probably is at this point). My rent is going up $50 per month so If I was offered the chance for a one off payment of $50 instead I'd bite their hand off.

Power went out at Harvard this morning and took 15 mins for a train to show. The emergency lighting was pretty atmospheric though.

Cheaper to park than downtown /s

I have an office job and nobody is saying don't come in. It's literally a dusting.
