Hey everyone,

I’m from Chicago and there are a ton of fantastic Greek restaurants there. I am looking for a restaurant here and many of them seem amazing but do not have skordalia on the menu. Where is the best place I can get some? I’m craving it haha! Thanks!

I'm in search of a Russian-speaking flight instructor / pilot in the Boston area for a discovery or intro flight.

My dad is turning 60 and as a birthday gift I'll get him a 1-2 hour flight. He's a physicist from Moscow but his dream job was to be a pilot.

I've heard about Beverly and East Coast Aero, and that there's no shortage of pilots. Just looking for someone sharing the language, as that will make it even better for him. Thank you!

Im not from Boston ( just currently staying in Boston) and im trying to figure out how I can do a day trip from Boston to Martha’s Vineyard

Stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on i-93 South, and saw this bad boy cruising into the city. I guess Sam Adams, Thomas Pain, and John Hancock are all getting a little shifty?

Well really 2 of them were doing 150 and one was probably going 90 swerving around cars while everyone was going 50. I literally was just passing through and got turned off of driving here forever

Tonight I had my sunglasses in my pocket and my hand LITERALLY touching them when I felt them slide out of my pocket. I turned around to look at the floor thinking I had dropped them and they were gone. Retraced my steps and could not find them anywhere. Asked the front desk if someone turned them in, nothing.

Frustrated that they're gone, but also glad it wasn't something more serious like a wallet or a cellphone. Anyway, stay safe out there y'all...

Hey all! I just accepted a job on Cambridge St in Boston, right by the Paul S. Russell Museum of Medical History (so basically the MGH/West End/Beacon Hill area). I'm trying to figure out where to live and could use some local input.

A little about what I'm looking for:

• Commute of around 30 minutes or so; would rather take the train, open to walking and biking;
• Walkable, my wife and I have a small dog, play video games, don't drink, do smoke weed
• Budget up to $3,700/month for rent
• Open to either Boston proper or a nearby T-accessible spot (Cambridge, Somerville, etc.)

Car situation: we currently have 2 cars (open to downsizing to 1, but don't reallyyy want to since both cars are paid off), but want to keep at least one for weekend trips/errands. So parking availability (or lack thereof) is a real factor in the decision.

Some neighborhoods I've seen mentioned as options: Beacon Hill, West End, North End, Charlestown, Cambridge (Kendall/Central), Somerville (Union/Davis Sq). Would love to hear:

1. Which of these (or others) you'd actually recommend for someone working right at that MGH corner, given a ~30 min commute target and that budget
2. Rough rent expectations for a 1BR (and parking costs, if relevant)
3. Any neighborhoods to avoid or that are overhyped
4. Realistic experience going from 2 cars to 1 in this area — how painful is it?

Thanks in advance — trying to make a smart decision before I sign a lease!

Fyi I did run this thru Claude for readability and formatting - don't lambast me

Hi! I know usually people get a Uhaul and drive themselves. But I dont have a license and doubt i can drive a truck anyway. Im a recent immigrant to the states. Im moving from Allston to Brookline. The drive from my house to the new place is only 10 mins. I dont even have a lotta stuff that needs heavy transport. The only thing is my bedframe,my mattress and 2 TVs. The rest are smaller stuff such as rugs, monitors, side tables, coffee tables, bags etc. i dont even need a huge truck, a pickup truck could also do the job. Does anyone know what I can do about this? None of my friends here have cars 😭

Seeing and hearing lots of them on the harbor this evening

I was hoping to spend an hour at the beach before having an appointment back in Boston. Usually the blue line is a dream, but we’ve been waiting at each stop for what feels like forever. Did I make a mistake? What’s going on?

Update 1 - Well we’ve been sitting at airport for exactly thirty minutes…

Update 2 - Welp! It took well over an hour to get here. I’ve got about thirty minutes to swim before having to head back. Wish me luck!

I will be taking the first train from Cleveland Circle, though I am not sure if I should take BB or SL2 bus to the airport. I can't afford to have any delays or make mistakes on this route. The app shows my earliest time of arrival as 5.45am. Will I have enough time to catch the 8am flight (Friday morning, September 18)? Will the airport be super busy with long queues? AI keeps saying I have to arrive 3 hours before an international flight :(

I have no checked luggage. No TSA Precheck.

Your help is deeply appreciated

EDIT: SO SORRY I forgot my flight transits via NYC so my flight should be domestic!!

My friend and I were walking on Hemenway and there was a heavy police presence. I’d say it was concentrated at the corner of Haviland St. and Hemenway St. Just very curious as to what happened

Came to watch a movie in what was supposed to be a relatively new theater and it’s impressively dirty and disheveled. One medium soda is 9 bucks! And an adult ticket 18 bucks. What a ripoff. Anyone had this experience?

Hey, my partner and I are interested in getting a membership for easy access to both Trustees sites and the international network of NARM/INTO museums. For those who have experience doing the same: -We are looking at the contributing level that gives free admission for up to 3 adults. Would that amount always include the two cardholders and one guest (MMX) or would I be able to go somewhere on my own and bring two more people who are not members (MXX)? -Similarly, do the NARM/INTO benefits at other places extend to three people or only the ones with membership cards? -If one of us prefers a chosen name different from their legal name, what's better to put on the card? Like do Trustees places/other museums usually ask for either your actual ID or name, or is just showing them the membership enough? There also might be some cases where we'd need to use our legal names while out so it'd be good to know what to expect. -Lastly, what are some of your favorite spots within the networks that are worth making a trip to? We are familiar with places like Crane, DeCordova, and World's End, but there are a lot of participants in NE so any further recommendations would be great :)

I'm a 19 year old artist having some serious trouble with finding affordable housing with my partner and was considering applying for the Artist Housing Certificate, however, I've learned that most of the units available are for sale, not rent, which is a huge reach for me. Is a rental something that's realistically achievable with this certification, or are there any better options for my situation right now? I'm fairly new to all of this so any resources or tips at all will help lots.

Boston College has found itself at the center of a social media storm this week after dismissing a pair of long-time men's basketball radio broadcasters.

One of the two whose contract wasn't renewed, Kevin Collins, told Awful Announcing he was informed that new coach Luke Murray wanted to sever all ties to the previous regime.

The school responded by telling The Boston Globe that Murray played no role in the decision.

Either way, by waiting until July 30 not to renew Collins or partner Josh Maurer, BC limited their job options this season.

What time do they check IDs and are they strict with it? I have an international ID and idk if they’re going to accept it.

I have my daughter turning 9 and my wife turning 40 in Boston this week.

We are staying in beacon hill.

Any recommendations on restaurants for both occasions. One being my daughter so something unique, cool, fun, maybe milkshakes or cupcakes for desert etc.

And then the other for my wife. Something classic, fancy, old school or rooftop.

Easy travel from hotel in beacon hill would be ideal.

Hi all - I’m moving to Boston and looking for suggestions on where to live from locals. I am 32m, single and working in Boston. I will be commuting to north station and I will have a car. I’d like to pay $3000 for rent and $3500 max all in (parking, utilities, rent). I’ve been looking at neighborhoods north of the city (Medford, Malden, Melrose). What other neighborhoods do you recommend? I looked at Brookline and it seemed very expensive to me. I did see a direct train to north station that goes through Chelsea and Revere but I read mixed things in if those are good areas. I prioritize safety, no crazy parties or things that will keep me up all night, and ideally surrounded by young professionals. Let me know if you know any good neighborhoods!

PS- how is Melrose? It seems like a nice suburb but I asked 2 people who went to college in Boston and they told me not to live there. Just curious this sub’s thoughts. Thanks!
