Good point RE: Boston commuters forgot about that.

I think not even the Cafe La France lady opens her cafe that early inside the Amtrak station. Damn, it really is only Dunks before 7 isn't it?

Maybe that Starbucks on the other side of the bridge after Fed Hill in the Hilton? But that location seems cursed since Covid.

Absolutely. Not only that, but with more work from home the 6am demand has to be even worse than the market was before covid (which wasn't very big for this niche). You don't have the Boston commuters getting up super early or the early office runs looking for that timeslot. I say that as someone who works early in person and it's a total ghost town at 6am apart from the occasional dog walk.

I lived at the Halstead (was the promenade) and i miss it so much sometimes! the sound proofing wasn’t awful minus a decent amount of highway noises depending where your unit is. The amenities were fantastic, i never had any issues with management, and it was clean. Only complaint would be the rising prices of the apartments!

Oberlin will be close by you. For a quick lunch, The Village is good-I work by the convention center that that's the lunch spot for my office. If you can get into Aguardente it is really good-I didn't want to like it because it has so much buzz, but but great food and atmosphere-it's about 2 miles from the convention center.
