I admire your faith in the Red Line!

Vegan meal...of course. I spaced. Apologies for putting in my unnecessary two cents.

HOWEVER, if you are going to the Boston show and are unfamiliar with the area, please know that the Seaport, the neighborhood of the venue, has been super invigorated with restaurants that run the gamut from gastro-pub-ish to fine dining. You will not be at a loss for pre-show dinner and drinks or post-show drinking establishments (kitchens do tend to close early in Boston--particularly on a Monday. You won't have as many post-show dinner options). Hit me up if you want my recommendations, happy to help the visitor!

What's your favorite spot for drinks? I'm going to be at Eastern Standard the night before the show (Kenmore Square area, if anyone is coming in a day early and wants to join me), but I won't be able to stay after on Monday, and I don't know what's good around BOA

I'll be driving from the restaurant to the venue. About how long will it take me to arrive and what time does the show start anyway?

I'll be driving to Marissa's frat house and parking there. Then she and I will be taking the T around together since she knows it better than me lol all I know is that the North Leominster train goes straight to North Station LOL Even though the last train is at 12:10(or something) I dont wanna chance missing it. So I'll just drive and have a few Red Bulls lol Plus, I have a GPS. Even though a driving buddy would be nice

Are there any vegan restaurants in this location? Perhaps we will meet here instead.

Hello Olive...Where may I ask is the Bank of the Week Pavilion? Are you referring the Bank Of America Pavilion?

[Macfanforever]

Harbor Lights Pavilion
FleetBoston Pavilion

I guess they all do.Like the Comcast Center down the road in Mansfield.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comcast..._(amphitheatre)


Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts
Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts

Lite rock 105 has a contest for tix AND a meet and greet with Stevie for this show. It has something to do with changing your fb profile pic and writing why you want to win ( or something like that).

Probably info on their site. Go check it out Bostonian Ledgies!!!

No vegan places that I'm aware of in that neighborhood. As you know, vegan meals in non-vegan restaurants are few and far between, so I have no suggestions for you .

DAN'S SUGGESTIONS (please know that I live in Boston--walking a mile is 'no big thing' as far as I'm concerned. The first group of places are a 12 minute walk from venue):

For cocktails on a roofdeck with an amazing view of harbor/city :
SAM'S
http://samsatlouis.com/

For down and dirty seafood and beer with fun views of city:
Barking Crab
http://www.barkingcrab.com/content/boston.html

For a fun dive-ish retro/rumpus room dinner/drinks place:
Lucky's
http://www.luckyslounge.com/home.html

For arguably the best cocktails in Boston:
Drink
http://drinkfortpoint.com/

CLOSER TO VENUE (7 minutes or less walk)
Jerry Remy's (for a high tech sports bar, it has a secretly good and inexpensive wine cellar):
http://www.jerryremys.com/

Legal Test Kitchen:
