Who's watching ALCS Game Three tonight? Where can I go, Yankees-fan-friendly, with a good rowdy crowd but not TOO crowded, and not too frat-ish or too sportsbar-ish? Food not all that important; decent beer on tap absolutely imperative.

Edit: Oh, also, where a single girl won't feel too creeped out.

:blink: Not related to your earlier question about Galileo, I shouldn't wonder. Though they did have a TV in the bar....hmmm.....you know? That might not be half bad!

Well, tomorrow it's a quick breakfast (business) meeting at the Four Seasons. Then it will be back home for a nature walk with Morela and the dog. Looks like lunch is shaping up to be a group of friends at Jaleo. Then I have dinner a res at Ray's . May as well enjoy it now since I have root canal coming up next week.

P.S. My dog has just been certified as a mycologist canine. We are all very proud!!!

O Minister! I envy you. The Vier Jahrzeiten hat the best breakfast in town. Jaleo is always fun. A Cowboy steak to finish it off. Enjoy it, you'll be eating Gerbers strained carrots next week.

Is anyone heading to Palena tonight?  I'll be meeting up with a HS friend there.

I hope he or she has a fake ID. :laugh:

Sweet deal! I was planning on having a light lunch so I'm good for tonight, but I'll make an exception for the grill!

I'm there, assuming it is not raining.

edited to add: And gettiing there early is key. The seating on the terrace is limited and the place fills up.

Temptations are for giving in to.  Especially when there's grilled meat involved.

Lead me not to temptation...I can find my own way ;)

I'll be there between noon and 12.15, but I think we'll do takeaway this time as I'm bringing two coworkers with me. Swayed by "don't go to stupid Subway...let's do Galileo today!"

Had an enjoyable lunch with mnebergall and Chef Shogun. The Chef said that he was planning to open the "back room" when the weather gets cold, so the grilling thing looks like it will continue into the Winter.

Oddball question: Does anyone know if there is a chef in town who happens to be a Red Sox fan? I know I'm going to need to go out to dinner this weekend to either celebrate (please G*d) or to wallow in despair. Either way, I'd like to support a fellow Red Sox fan, if possible. :rolleyes:

If I cannot find such a chef, I think I'll head to Palena Cafe, where our great waitress the other night was a fellow native New Englander and Sox fan.

Bob Kinkead and Todd English are two safe bets, though the odds of finding Todd English in town are smaller than the odds of the Red Sox winning game seven. :laugh:

Has Todd ever been in Olives since the opening?
