Thanks to all for the many suggestions, y'all are great! JAG, I had previously archived some of your Maine recommendations from years past. Hope we can get there - there is never enough time for everything I want to do.

I am looking at heading up East next month for some R&R. The weather was so nice on Nova Scotia last August that we are going in that direction again, just a little further west. Will fly into Boston and head to Montreal, maybe hit Quebec City and back down through Maine to Boston, depending on ...

Thanks for the replies. I think we'll try out hungryone's acoustics strategy and roll the dice on Domenica.

My mom has a birthday next week and I have been giving some thought to taking her to Domenica. She hasn't seen the hotel renovation and was interested in that. Plus, the last time she celebrated her birthday at the Roosevelt was 1931! But in reading the reviews here, it sounds like the noise factor ...

I am probably the only person on this board who has never been to Jacques-Imo's. I post on a travel board from time to time as well and this place gets within the top 3 tourist inquiries consistently, so I've never felt compelled to go. The herd mentality is a fascinating aspect of human behavior to...

Wszystkiego Najlepszego, JAG! Eat some Polish sausage for me. I used to order my Mardi Gras brats from Meyer's Deli on N. Lincoln Ave. Meyer's is no more, but the old store space has been taken over by Gene's, which gets very good reviews on average. Gene's first, much older location is on Belmont. ...
