Can you please let us know the correct date of this meeting, since May 19th is not a Tuesday? Thanks so much!
Hi Susan – I have it in the calendar as Tuesday the 21st, but welcome someone from the NHNAC to back me up? Thanks
Fixed. It’s Tuesday the 21st.
Thanks!
I’d like to see a boutique hotel.
Not sure where it goes, how many rooms, or even if its financially viable, but with easy access to the T, some fantastic restaurants/bars and wonderful stores, it’s the kind of place I’d want to stay if I was in the area on a business trip or looking to visit Boston (but not necessarily looking to sleep there).
That, and we need a place that serves ice cream which is open at night.
Great idea Greg!
The Stevens Block would make a terrific boutique hotel.
And bring back Brighams!
@Terry: It is a great idea, isn’t it? That way you folks from Waban (a dry village) will have a place to crash after a night of bar-hopping in the Highlands: O’Hara’s, 51 Lincoln, Mick Morgans and, now, Walnut Grill. (We do, however, charge for parking.)
Waban, dry?
Waban Kitchen and the Market beg to differ!
… and opening soon; the Waban Library wine bar!
I’d much prefer a B&B or 2 to a hotel.
Always loved the Waban Market and its great prices, fruits, veggies, wine and vodka selection. But you can’t drink there, so it hardly counts as a place to go bar hopping.
And does Waban Kitchen have a bar? I thought you could just drink w meals. If not, I stand corrected, although you can hardly bar hop with just one bar.
Yes Gweg, Waban Kitchen has a great bar with an outstanding bartender, Robb. He makes a nice Old Fashion, a drink from your generation. And if you need to bar hop, just down the street is a terrific open bar (always open!) at our soon-to be-alderman Chris Steele’s house. Just bang on the door loudly- the password is “Swordfish”.
My house in Waban is never dry.
