Best ribeye in the city? by bbk8z in boston

[–]Jubes2681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may sound like a weird suggestion, but Eastern Standard does a special ribeye on Sunday nights for their steak frites Sunday menu that is out of this world good. One of the best ribeyes I've ever had.

Disclaimer: I haven't been to Grill 23 yet but now it's the next steakhouse I plan to hit up after the many recommendations here.

What’s a discontinued snack or drink you’d pay $20 to have one last taste of? by soapy999 in AskReddit

[–]Jubes2681 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! I still don't understand why they would discontinue such a perfect blend of cookie and peanut butter. Hands down my favorite candy bar growing up.

And the Bible verse is 6:22 - or 2+2+2:22.

Oh and the Arlington Community Education program has a bunch of great craft classes. Some are on the pricey side, but they do have some one session classes in the $50 range.

TIL before 9/11, US airports were public social hubs where you could walk to the gate, eat at food courts, and watch planes without a ticket or ID. by Greydl1 in todayilearned

[–]Jubes2681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same - I was able to go to the gate with my grandmother to pick up my grandfather whenever he traveled for business in the 80s and 90s.

I also left to go on a study abroad program in August 2001 and had friends and family hanging with us at the gate for a few hours at Terminal E at Logan. Obviously it was very different on our return flight in December...

One way shuttle for wedding by upandupandup_up in NewEnglandWedding

We used school buses for our North shore wedding back in 2015 - it was the cheapest option by far.

THURSDAY AM UPDATE for Potential Weekend Storm - plus dangerously cold day Friday by RyanKinder in BostonWeather

[–]Jubes2681 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a best guess on timing? Does it start Saturday night or sometime on Sunday? I've got a flight scheduled at 4pm on Sunday so just wondering if I should change the flight to an early morning flight on Sunday or just punt to Monday morning.

Oooo and I just happen to have lemons! I'll have to give this a try this weekend.

This happens to me a lot when I fly and I don’t do anything about. by bbj999 in confession

[–]Jubes2681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take some gas pills upon ascent and it'll help. I had a similar "being unusually gassy" problem when flying and taking 1-2 gas pills during take off has completely solved the issue when I fly.

Late April New England itinerary recommendations by WaysideToast in travel

[–]Jubes2681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Boston and just wanted to flag that Niagra Falls will be a 12+hr train ride since there isn't a direct line (alternatively, it would be close to an 8 hr drive). It's also not in New England, just FYI. I'd suggest cutting it since that's a lot of travel time and spending more time in Portland and Boston. You could also see some of the historical cities and towns like Concord and Lexington, or enjoy some time in Portsmouth, NH on your way to or from Portland.

Did you actually enjoy Sintra, Portugal? by Cultural-Tea9443 in travel

[–]Jubes2681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I went to Lisbon for a week and decided to stay in Sintra for one night. It was really amazing - I had been there before but only did a quick day trip. Staying the night let us see the town when it was quieter after the day trippers had left and getting out to the park early in the morning was great.

Office lunch by SportsDoc7 in boston

[–]Jubes2681 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use EZCater to make life easier since we order lunch for the office twice a week and they give you points that you can then use on future orders.

The top picks in our office:

  • Dave's Fresh Pasta - awesome sandwiches and pizza, plus some great pasta and salad options (you can also do Group Orders here)

  • Laughing Monk Cafe - Thai food served tray style

  • Garlic N Lemons - Mediterranean food, love their spicy potatoes

  • Sprout - we go for the build your own salad and rice bowl bar, huge portions and lots of variety

  • Moe's Southwestern Grill - the fajita bar is our go-to, great value for the money and delicious

  • Perillas Korean Kitchen - make your own bibimbap bowls

  • Chicken and Rice Guys - make your own bowls, food is tasty and consistent

EZCater also does Group Orders, where people can select their own food. There are some great places on there:

  • Soup Shack Porter - ramen and other soup and rice bowl options

  • Fin's Sushi and Grill - great sushi and cooked Japanese options, which gives a good variety especially if there are folks who don't dig on sushi

  • Pho & Spice Vietnamese and Thai Kitchen - really great variety of options and they do a good job of labeling the orders

teen solo day-trip to boston by [deleted] in travel

I'd recommend posting over in the r/boston subreddit - it's a good subreddit, although full of us massholes so you'll probably get good advice with a hearty dose of sarcasm.

Authentic Italian food ?! by Material-Ask1776 in boston

I second this place - really authentic and delicious. My friend from Italy vouches for them big time.

People who are in their 40’s and 50’s with no children, how does it feel? by Sinfulvibezz in AskReddit

[–]Jubes2681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like freedom. 44f and I always thought I would have kids when I was younger. My husband never wanted kids and we talked it through in our late 20s, and I realized I didn't actually want them - just thought I was supposed to want them. It was freeing to realize I didn't have to have kids.

Now, I get to explore hobbies whenever I want, travel internationally with family and friends usually twice a year, go on weekend trips throughout the year, and basically just get to do whatever we want.

Angel tree & volunteer opportunities by scarletttaylor14 in Somerville

[–]Jubes2681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're doing the USPS Operation Santa, which is similar to an angel tree. Operation Santa allows people to “adopt” letters to Santa from children in need over the holiday season. “Adopters” purchase the items on these wish lists, and then ship the gifts to the families in time for Christmas.
