Welcome everyone! So exciting to see the board more active.
What kind of work do you do? Statistics. What do you like to do in your free time? Hang out with my husband and dog, go to the beach, watch TV, bake. Whereabouts do you live? North of Boston but inside 128. What board(s) are you usually on? This is the only one where I post regularly. I read MM and H&G and post on those once in awhile, and lurk on other boards but don't post. Current favorite splurge restaurant in the area (you'll find we like to talk food a lot here ). I don't splurge on eating out enough to have a favorite. Current favorite budget/everyday restaurant in the area. Dunkin Donuts sad but true! Will you attend the next GTG on Saturday 2/16 (I don't think we've decided on a location yet). No, I'm lame and don't do GTGs.
For real, I was someone who always wimped out on previous GTG's. I even sat outside this past GTG for 20 mins deciding whether I was actually going to go in or not But I'm glad I did and it was fun. I've found it's so much harder making new friends when you're an adult so this has been a good way for me to meet new people and make some new friends.
What do you like to do in your free time? Teach group fitness classes, run, ski, hike, camp, spend time with my family, and watch cheesey tv shows on Netflix
Whereabouts do you live? Near where Rt.2 meets Rt.495
What board(s) are you usually on? MM, MMM, and Got Pregnant
Current favorite splurge restaurant in the area (you'll find we like to talk food a lot here ). Ashamed to admit it, but we don't really do splurge restaurants. We'd prefer to go out more often, so I don't think I even have one, but I will say that we will drive into Brighton to go to Grasshopper.
Current favorite budget/everyday restaurant in the area. We love La Carretta in Nashua, NH
Will you attend the next GTG on Saturday 2/16 (I don't think we've decided on a location yet). Boo! We will be skiing that weekend, but I'd love to make it to the next one. How often do you guys meet up?

Aww, totally agree!! It really is tough once you're older. I felt like I have friends either in their mid-20s that just want to go out to shows and bars or friends with kids that it takes like 4 weeks to set something up with. Then my very close friends don't live in the area. I'm glad I've found the ladies here, hope to see you soon!
Love seeing all the new people popping up on our local board! I know some of you did intros, but humor me.

I'm just getting used to having free time again after being in school for the past couple years. I have really just started to read for fun/pleasure again. I also like to play around with home decorating and cooking. Whereabouts do you live? I'm in NH, but grew up in Boston. I moved here when I was 18. What board(s) are you usually on? I've been on MM too many years to count. Current favorite splurge restaurant in the area (you'll find we like to talk food a lot here . I like the Hanover Street Chophouse in Manchester, NH. In the Boston area, I like mostly budget friendly places Current favorite budget/everyday restaurant in the area. I love the Green Briar Pub in Brighton. I grew up in that area and have been going there since I was 8 or 9. In NH, I just discovered the Golden Palace Chinese restaurant in Milford. It is the best Chinese food I've had outside of Boston. Will you attend the next GTG on Saturday 2/16 (I don't think we've decided on a location yet). I don't think I can. I enjoyed our brunch GTG, though!
devonpow Now that I'm on not on a mobile I can see siggies - my son is Henry, and though we have decided to be one-and-done, Elliot was my pick for another boy's name! Great sibling names And they are adorable!

PEOPLE! I got into a gold Chevy Impala with SCM, and we had never met, and she drove us to Patriots Place for my first GTG. Could she have secretly been a madam or undercover cop? Sure. Could she have sued my best friends? Possibly. But turned out she's awesome and had the good fortune to rent a pimpmobile for the day. It's worth the risks!

sporklemotion Zocalo in Back Bay?? Is that the Zocalo that used to be in Allston that I thought tragically closed?? Delicious Mexican? Omg, I can taste the chicken mole just thinking about it! And the sangria! Ah!
It is! We stumbled on it one night and the fried avocado changed my life. Yum!

I am so excited!! I thought my Zocalo was gone forever! When we lived in Brighton, DW and I went so often the waitstaff recognized us. Then we moved, and the next time we were in the area, it was gone. So glad to hear that we can go again!

Thanks! We moved to South Carolina 3.5 years ago for my husbands graduate program. He decided he hated it last year, so we came back. We lived in Somerville before we moved south.
