A quick consideration from a Bostonian (oh, the pain...)... Because of the rioting after game 5 last week, there is a parking ban on *all* the streets around Fenway Park, starting four hours before game time. They're serious, they'r towing every gameday--BOTH HOME AND AWAY..This includes the streets in front of Boston Beer Works, the park, and probably Linwood Grille will be pretty impossible (parkingwise, I mean), due tothe overflow.. So, if you're gonnah soak up some of that Fenway flay-vah, make plans to T in..Cowboy up! BTW, the Sports Depot is gone...

My favorite place is Waltham is the Tuscan Grill. Entrees top out at about $18, including specials, and you can combine half-orders of their wonderful pastas for even more variety. Their cooking style is fresh and flavorful, many things are grilled over various woods, and accompanied by creative sides. Of all the italian places in Boston, I feel they really do capture the Tuscan mindset. In addition to three or so fish choices on the seasonally-changing menu, there are usually a few specials; there are always veggie options as well (as a pesco-tarian, it's important or me, too...)
