Damn, I'm out both days. Birthday weekend in NH Boo

Sunday at 11:30 would work for me! I have no idea what's most convenient for people, but I think Dedham was mentioned. That or anywhere north of that would work, preferably with parking. I was thinking Legacy place would be nice, although I have no idea what places do brunch type stuff. If we need to be on the T for the city girls, maybe Davis Square or Harvard Square? Lots of cute restaurants around there (although again, I have no idea for breakfasty places).

Sorry I've been MIA this week.
I'm good with either date, the 11th at 11:30 (or anytime) is fine with me.
I'm drawing a blank for Boston brunch places, except for Brasserie Jo downtown.
I've heard that the Biltmore in Newton is awesome, with things like cereal crusted french toast. I've never been , but have friends who have.

November 10th is better for me, but I can try to make the 11th work, too.

BOOOOO! That stinks, DrL. I was looking forward to finally meeting you.

[drloretta]

Me too. I totally spaced the dates. I seem t have a mental block about my schedule. We'll do another and I promise to come

I live north of the city but am willing to drive where ever to meet up. I voted for Sunday but am fine with either date.

Well, I found out last night that I'm not going to be able to go myself anymore. So I'll see you all at the next one, I guess.

If someone else who can go wants to pick up planning, I'd appreciate it. You've got a date - you're halfway there.

I'm gone the whole weekend, to Machias, ME....don't ask :-\ Anyway, I've always been curious about these get togethers. I don't post a ton so I feel nervous about going to one. Most likely I overthink these things

[hulley]

Is anyone still interested in doing the weekend of the 10-11th? I can take over for 5K if anyone wants. What about a north of Boston/S. NH GTG? We can move the location to wherever the majority are.

I can create another poll in a little while to choose a location...have to run to Target and make my weekly donation to crap-I-don't-need

[noodleoo]

Yes, I'm still interested! North of Boston area would work for me (like Woburn to Peabody? Is that what you mean?).

[fuddyduddy]

I'm still interested. I can attend on either of those dates. North of Boston/Southern NH would be perfect for me.

[hulley]

Woburn/Peabody area is fine, anywhere really is okay with me. I don't mind driving, I'm in S. NH. We could also choose an alternate day/time if that works too. We could even do Burlington and go to the mall. Plenty of places to eat there...

[vtdiamond]

North of Boston would be perfect for me!

Does anyone have any suggestions for particular restaurants?

[5kcandlesinthewind]

Oh yay, I'm glad you guys are still going through with this! I'm sorry to have dropped the ball, but there's some family isht that I now have to take care of that weekend.
Thanks, hulley!

Hmmm, trying to think of locations.

I live in Wilmington, but don't know of any great brunch locations in the Woburn/Burlington area - only ones that come to mind are Cheesecake Factory and Joes!

What about somewhere on the North Shore - Gloucester, Peabody or Salem may have some more options. I've heard Alchemy in Gloucester is really good but never been. Or would closer to the city work better for folks - Winchester, Melrose, Malden, etc??
