QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 08:18 AM) The North End is mostly Italian eateries. The Atlantic Fish Company or Legal Seafood on Boylston has better Lobster rolls. The lobster rolls at Fenway are pretty good as well. What I didn't realize is that I didn't say the name of the restaurant in the North End, Neptune Oyster My bad ptatc

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 08:18 AM) The North End is mostly Italian eateries. The Atlantic Fish Company or Legal Seafood on Boylston has better Lobster rolls. The lobster rolls at Fenway are pretty good as well. Customer's don't lie, I don't lie, I did some pretty extensive research when I was there on these. It's no fun going to Legal Seafood anyways, as it is a chain. Stick with Neptune Oyster as it is an old school Oyster Joint with the best rolls in Boston. Ben Affleck just filmed some new movie there too http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=&...ortby=composite http://www.bostonmagazine.com/best_of/deta..._lobster_rolls/

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 07:16 PM) West London in December and hopefully Boston in August for the UFC fan expo/BJ Penn vs Frankie Edgar Fight.. If you like Lobster/Lobster Rolls, head over to the North End and get yourself a cold Lobster Roll and a side of Fries, AMAZING I actually Google Image it sometimes to bring back memories of how good it was

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) Sounds pricey. I've got a mate over there, so I'm planning to go over for a w/e to go boozing pretty much. I actually just checked the currency amount to USD, the Danish Krone (at Noma it is 1095) would translate to $181. Shockingly, this seems pretty low to me compared to some of the other top restaurants. I am a semi-struggling working college student but I think I would stay in a couple weekends to save up some cash to eat there LOL

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 12:18 PM) Yeah I took a look at the menu and the price and I think I will pick a different one. I will try almost anything too but there are a couple others in London in the top 50 list that are a lot cheaper. That Paris one sounds great. Hey, if you give me a few days, I'll PM you a couple of the places I have found. I actually made a rather large list of places to eat in Paris and London, mostly ones that are where the locals eat (I was bored one day) and kind of separated them into must eats and maybe. Probably the dorkiest thing I have ever done but I love trying different restaurants LOL

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 09:29 PM) http://bbref.com/pi/shareit/yB88b So it's safe to say he is having the best worst season of any reliever in history? Look at that ERA compared to the other LOL (I know there is much more to that ERA though.)

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 21, 2010 -> 12:00 PM) Copenhagen or Barcelona sometime in the next 2 months potentially, probably the latter. Eat at Noma in Copenhagen, recently named #1 restaurant in the world

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 06:13 PM) ill also vouch for Xoco That place is amazing, don't be shy about getting the Caldos (soup) either, especially the Short-Rib as they are gigantic and will fill you up. Definitely better in the winter though along with the best Churros ever

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 02:24 PM) Nice info. I am going to London and Paris for my honeymoon in November. I really want to try the Fat Duck. After Europe we are headed to Maldives for a week for lots of sun. Very nice, but to tell you the truth, I wanted to try it until I saw there current menu. I will try almost anything but I really don't want to spend $225 a person to eat there with the stuff on their current menu although it may be different when you go. They take reservations up to 2 months in advance so be sure to check in September. I'll try to give you a couple of other tips when I get back on restaurants, we plan on going to one of the restaurants on the list (I believe it's #11 in Paris) called Le Chateaubriand, the Chef said he had wanted to create one of the best restaurants in the world but at a price that his friends could afford. I believe its around 45 euros a person which is pretty damn good for one of the best meals in the world

Does anyone have any good recommendations/findings for possible credit cards to use overseas. Such as 0% APR on purchases for a year, 5% back on hotel or restaurants charges, etc. I have a Capital One currently, which as far as I know is the only credit card that does not charge fees for overseas purchases (as of last year.) But I obviously am paying interest on that as I have had it for awhile...my girlfriend contacted Discover who had actually lied to her and said that hotels would accept the Discover card overseas (this card is 0% APR and 5% back on hotels) and then I check the website and they are not currently used in Europe. Terrific

QUOTE (HeGone33 @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 01:49 PM) I'd like to use either the White Sox or Bulls intro music for the introductions and entrance at my wedding reception next month. I was wondering if anyone could provide the audio files of each for me? For the white sox version, I would use everything up to the Thunderstruck song. Thanks If you had Gene Honda there to introduce the wedding party, that. would. be. AWESOME.

Got this trade offered to me I would get: Chris Young (Diamondbacks), Ricky Romero, Tim Lincecum He gets: Justin Upton, Chris Carpenter My outfield currently is Upton, Lind, Markakis, Austin Jackson, Willingham My starting pitching is Carpenter, Sabathia, Marcum, Bucholz, Slowey, Wade Davis, Vazquez, Scott Baker I know Upton is struggling but noone knows if Chris Young keeps it up this year (average is down now to about .270) but getting Romero and Lincecum for Carpenter is almost highway murder (if Tim gets back to normal) What does everyone think?

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 12:18 PM) Its also hard to win a ring by yourself, not even Kobe could do it.. LeBron has had no one, not anyone close to a Gasol thats for sure.. Although not as good of a player and a different type, I would say Antawn Jamison is considered close to a Pau Gasol.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 04:24 PM) Hopefully if he's hired, he can put Rose in a defensive boot camp this summer. Hell, I wouldn't even mind David Lee if we can't get Bosh/Amare if that is the case. (possibly even more now) Dude is taking the Noah route of improvement every year. I Love me some David Lee but I hope that his numbers jumping up like that (although he is always a double double waiting to happen) aren't a D'Antoni factor

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 11:46 AM) LOL, check out the picture of Lowell on that article. Its perfect for the context. He looks like someone ran over his dog. LOL it looks like he IS the dog that got run over

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 02:16 AM) I spun the thing 14 times and Joe Johnson went to the bulls 7 times, Carlos Boozer twice no one else went to the bulls even once. Edit: I just spun the thing 4 more times and Lebron went to the bulls all 4 times twice with Johnson and once with Amare. Spun it 4 times with NOT ONE going to the Bulls, spun it a fifth and LBJ and Wade to the Bulls. The second time I spun it it had LBJ, Wade and Amare on the Heat I can totally see the Bulls not getting one of them as well

wow SCREW Dwayne Wade, used to be a fan - so did he forget that Pippen was a Bulls analyst before playing overseas and that Jordan actually OWNS a basketball team? Let's see how that would work out being involved in two organizations. What an idiotic thing to say

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 26, 2010 -> 08:03 AM) How did Boston pay for their stadium? Answer: Fenway Park cost $650,000 in 1912 and was the only home to any Boston NFL team, the Boston Braves/Redskins and then the Boston Yanks http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nfl/wasbos/bosskins.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Yanks

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 17, 2010 -> 03:56 PM) Sounds like we got a winner. You recommend Canterbury, Jim talks about Dover being awesome and that is 2/3rd of the trip alone. Sweet. Thanks for the help!!! I'll be hammering out the details of my France segment tomorrow. The past couple months I've just been bulletting all the things I want to see as I read various articles. Now I'm trying to narrow everything down based upon area to try and segment into specific days and boy is it a pain in the ass. On top of that I'm reading all kinds of reviews and relying on you guys/gals to help narrow down the good vs the bad as well as weigh in what me and my fiance's particular interests are. I'm glad I budgeted a good amount for site seeing/food because It is my first time to Europe and I want to really enjoy everything and not be bummed that I didn't spend the extra 50 bucks to go see ______. Which I should point out is rare for me, since I'm a total cheap ass, haha. What area do you plan on staying in London? It seems like each of them has their positives, whether it is the most sightseeing around them, best nightlife, best food, etc.

Which I should point out is rare for me, since I'm a total cheap ass, haha. I am a huge foodie, Not sure if you are interested in a very nice dinner or not but check out this website (also on the side there is a link for #'s 51-100) - you will see at number 43 is St John's, where Anthony Bourdain had a meal there that he said is one of the top 13 places to eat before you die. I'd love to get a reservation at the Fat Duck but it has been fully seated since last year sometime. I plan to visit a couple of these (hopefully), maybe one in London and one in Paris. http://www.theworlds50best.com/awards/1-50-winners Also, if you are looking for a bit of nightlife after your sightseeing, World's top 100 bars, MANY bars from London are shown on this website (not that this would judge a good time either way but some of these are really ancient and were frequently visited by many celebrities and figures in the London area and still are.) http://www.worldsbestbars.com/public/top_listings.jsp And if you are into dancing/nightclubs, try this website - their are 3 clubs in the top 6 alone in London, fabric, Ministry of Sound, and Matter (which looks really cool as it is in the amazing o2 Arena) http://www.djmag.com/top100clubs/

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 17, 2010 -> 08:29 AM) I'm going to piggy back a bit off this. Also, Sonix, I'll be there, barring volcano issues, in about 3 weeks for 10 days. England and France. So I'll pass along some info of what I liked, didn't like, etc. Appreciate it, this is scaring me as well as they are saying on the news this morning that the ash can be in the skies for 10 years and that this could very well trigger volcanoes more and more often in the time coming

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 17, 2010 -> 07:29 AM) You said you aren't into museums and stuff but if you are in Paris the Louvre is pretty much a must do. Also, avoid Brussels, it's a waste of time. If you are set on going to Belgium visit Bruges or Antwerp. Personally, i'd just spend that extra day in the Netherlands or France instead however. Right, I have no problem visiting the Louvre and other large must-do landmarks like that. I meant to say with maybe the extra free time, we would be more into eating at a great restaurant or going to a nice pub instead of visiting a random museum or art gallery. Thanks for the information on Brussels, I have heard great things about Bruges - have you been to Brussels and Bruges?
