Persimmon trees grow well here, but I don’t personally know of any in the city. Lots of international markets should have them-maybe even the Price Rite in Pigtown.

I found items so much. It’s like bonus fun!

The fudgery has been gone for at least a decade, but relatives took me to one in a diff city much longer ago. I like your idea of Fed Hill (great for all ages) and just poking around the harbor. Maybe hop into a dragon boat for a float on the water-I would have thought they’d be done for the season, but saw them out this week.

Old timey beer

The owner prob talks of ‘liburel tears’ but who’s crying now? 🤣🤣

Eek, hadn’t heard much about her. I do know that I didn’t care for Mahaffey’s after Wayne sold it to her.

This is more feasible

Elijah Wood’s dad?

Yup! OP needs to trash their original list of neighborhoods (except Hampden, though I’m not quick to recommend that one either). Remington, Charles Village, and Bolton Hill are where they should start. Maybe Greenmount West. Personally, I think Mt Vernon has lost its luster and doesn’t seem great for kids. Medfield is in a great public school district, so I’ll throw that into the ring.

Or check out whatever Wine Source has on sale. If I know anything, it’s how to stretch my beverage budget!

Typical car culture attitude

You could buy a bunch of cheap wine from Trinacria. They’ve got $3-4 bottles in front of the deli case

Cakes from Yia Yia’s in Rosedale (I think) have impressed many a dinner party crowd. Don’t know if they’ll have what you’re looking for, but worth looking into

Wow, someone actually posted something onion-y!

Wow, you are way more a planner than I am. What are they showing in a month?

Also, you’ll be fine. It’s a little grittier than the harbor (and more interesting), so follow the normal city safety rules. If you’re there with some daylight, check out the murals around the neighborhood and grab dinner at Joe Squared or one of the Korean joints.

Had to make sure; don’t wanna upvote any racists

/s ?

I get where you’re coming from (I think) but def don’t want to give the undesirables any encouragement

Nepenthe has good beer, food, and cocktails, but is closed on Mondays. They do a happy hour Tu-Th, though.

Looks like young Leo got into the time machine to visit him

Heaven forbid there’s a crowd of people having a good time

Might be news if someone came out against it.

Damn, I hate to hear that. I got back on here when I heard the helicopters flying low.

It’s homecoming, so hoping folks are having a good time

At least they have good beer to drown their sorrows. The Hokies are also abysmal this year 🙇‍♀️

Wiley Gunters loves that team-whatever you call ‘em
