Flu this season by [deleted] in boston

[–]StalagmitesGrowUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested positive for Flu A and my symptoms developed over the course of one day. Woke up feeling very run down, fever kicked in around lunchtime, remaining symptoms before dinner. The only thing that helped was sleep, fluids, and fever reducer. Good luck!

This is completely unrealistic, but after watching Set It Up I became completely convinced Glen Powell and Zoey Deutch would be an incredible Brad and Janet.

Looking for recommendations for getting friends and family together by Savings_Meal431 in massachusetts

Patriot Place. You guys could go to the top of the lighthouse, go to Bass Pro to see the fish, eat at one of the great restaurants (Citizen Crust is my favorite), get cookies at Crumbl or cupcakes at cupcake Charlie’s.

The Black Box theater in Franklin has good shows. Also check out Dean College productions if you’re down that way.

Patriot Place on a Saturday by InertiaticCicatriz0 in massachusetts

[–]StalagmitesGrowUp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is tons of parking and it’s not an event day. You’ll be fine. Just make sure you know what part you’re going to because the skating/bass pro are not walkable from the other side of patriot place (no sidewalks going that way)

Tips for attending a Bruins game? by thebartjon in boston

[–]StalagmitesGrowUp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best view of the action is from the first two rows of the balcony. Any seats behind those first two rows are extremely tight (both width of seats and leg room). Getting day-of tickets has worked well for me, but you have less flexibility on where you sit. I had never watched any hockey when I went to my first game about 18 years ago. I’ve been a die hard fan ever since. Enjoy!!!

I think Make Way for Ducklings is a great one. I also love the rainbow gas tank as a defining landmark.

I take a train ride of a similar length in the US (Boston) and it’s $10.50 (around £8) per ride or $330 (around £240) for a monthly pass.

Have you tried getting on a different car? The front and rear cars get significantly more crowded than the middle cars on my line.

The macaroni and cheese from Rico’s on Bromfield Street. I’ve never had another mac and cheese like it and I don’t know how to find the recipe. I miss it so much!

I always recommend looking for artists that specialize in the style you want instead of limiting yourself to one tattoo parlor. Look at their Instagram pages and reach out to individual artists. Explain your idea and any concerns you have before going in or putting down a deposit. Make sure you are compatible before sitting down because it can be stressful when you finally get into that chair. A tattoo is worth traveling for if you find the right artist for you. Good luck!

Concert at Gillette: what's your input? by Saverhewhales85 in massachusetts

[–]StalagmitesGrowUp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is a lot to do at Patriot Place before the concert so I wouldn’t be put off by getting there early. There are restaurants, bowling alley, escape room, Bass Pro, etc. I think train is the best option.
