Boston Clarets

Post by LDNBFC87 » Tue Sep 06, 2022 2:38 pm

I’m in Boston MA for a few days and will be looking to watching the Norwich game in a bar somewhere reasonably central and not too far from Logan airport.

Any clarets got recommendations of where to watch/want to join me?!

Wonderful city to visit. There are a couple of graves in the Granary Burying Ground near Boston Common with my family name on. Not established any connection. "It is the final resting place for many notable Revolutionary War-era patriots, including Paul Revere, the five victims of the Boston Massacre, and three signers of the Declaration of Independence: Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Robert Treat Paine. The cemetery has 2,345 grave-markers, but historians estimate that as many as 5,000 people are buried in it. It is a site on Boston's Freedom Trail."

I'd love to recommend the Cheers Pub as the place to watch the game, but I don't remember if it shows "soccer" games.

Logan airport is probably the closest airport anywhere in the world to a city centre.

There shouldn't be anything interfering with the game so theres a likelihood it may be on TV - I'd try the Granary Tavern on Milk Street (oppo. the Aquarium)

If not head up near Faneuil Hall (a couple of blocks north) - big market area with lots of bars around.

Boston is nice and compact, shouldn't be too hard to walk around to find a pub with it on. There will be one.

Boston is a wonderful place and has the best sports bars Ive ever been to . The Banshee on Dorchester Avenue is a good bet or, more centrally Tony C's on the South Boston waterfront.

I haven't but my mother (in 1971 on a trip with her sister) told of as the plane was landing looking into high rise buildings coming into Kai Tak, and when taking off seeing the shapes of plane wrecks under water (obviously ones that didn't make it 😯) ...

I landed at Kai Tak, Hong Kong in 1972 as a teenager on my way to Australia.

I visited HK for work early 1997. Flew in and out of Kai Tak 3 times in 7 days. Got so used to it that we reached out and took the laundry from the washing line outside one flat, arranged for the clothes to be pressed and returned them the next time we flew by. ;) One of the flights was a day visit to a city in China, travelling on a Chinese airline - this was 25 years ago. The on-board snack was a 'local delicacy' a packet of raw fish.

Ohhhh Kai Tak airport , now that was something if you were sat on the right hand side of the plane , went up to the top of the walled city ( that's another one gone ) and you could feel like you could touch the planes coming in to land .
