I hope when you New Yorkers come to town next week that you stop by 700
Commonwealth Ave., BU's highest rise dorm, otherwise known as the New York
Embassy.
 
Seriously, compared to the towns which usually host the NCAA's, Boston is
major league in every sense of the word - crazy drivers, jaywalkers
everywhere, a maize of streets, inefficient transit system, "charming"
people who deal with everyone the same way,  etc. etc.  But . . .I've live
here all my life and I LOVE it!  If you can't enjoy yourself in Boston,
well . . .
 
The thought of people being in Boston and driving to Providence (ycch!) for
an AHL game (double ycch!!) is unbelievable.  Be a tourist, go to the
museums, go to Harvard Sq., walk the Freedom Trail, find a good club to go
to. But PLEASE, don't go to Providence.  Good God!!
