   Hey #bostodon ! We are having a Mastodon meetup (tootup?) next Friday the 19th, because @skinnylatte is in town!

   Details:
   Trillium Beer Garden
   In the Greenway by Rowes Wharf
   5–7pm (or thereabouts, who knows, we could shut the place down if we are feeling feisty)

   I have gotten permission to bring in n/a beverages for those of us who don’t drink. There are food trucks on site and you can bring your own food. (No live lobsters, please.)

   It’s convenient to the Red Line, Blue Line, Silver Line, and South Station commuter rail, a slightly longer walk to the Green and Orange lines and North Station, and close to all ferries (you can roll off the Hingham/Hull/Lynn ferry and into the beer garden). AND you can park in the Rowes Wharf or Aquarium Garage, if you are the sort of person that enjoys driving in Boston at rush hour on a Friday.

     @rednikki I assume / hope that @skinnylatte is going to visit New England Aquarium while she's in town so she can gloat about how much better hers is.

     @rednikki @skinnylatte aw, man, I'm probably going to still be trapped in the hospital for my clinical trial, but if they let me out early I'll try to come. Sounds fun!

     I’m sure you’ve got better sources than me for restaurant recommendations, because I haven’t eaten in a restaurant since before the pandemic. But in terms of what you should eat here, what it would be a shame to miss when you come to Boston, I’ll just say what I’m sure you know already: have fresh seafood. Raw oysters in particular—they taste different from each little place along the coast, so try a variety harvested from different locations…

     Looks like I’ll be late, and might even have to miss it, I’m sorry to say. In case that happens,
     @skinnylatte, welcome to Boston!

     @mcmullin I think the Chinese foods are pretty good given the no of Chinese students here.

     @skinnylatte
     As far as cuisines of the world, I don’t know what to say. Boston’s a pretty good city for food, in the sense that it’s cosmopolitan and there are many immigrant communities, so you can find a decent to excellent example here of a wide range of different cuisines. But I honestly can’t think of one where the example you’d find here is the best you could find anywhere. By that standard, we’re not such a good food city.

     @mcmullin yeah there is a widerr range of ‘new’ Chinese foods I like. In sf I have to travel to Berkeley or Santa Clara (reflecting the Chinese preference for Berkeley / Stanford over SF schools).

     I agree. And that’s a good example of what I meant—it’s a step below NY or LA and a couple steps below China, but it’s still high quality, especially if you know what you’re looking for. For example, I’ve had better Peking duck in China than in Boston, obviously, but not miles and miles better. And some of the Peking duck I’ve had in China was not as good as I can get here. Just to pick one thing.
