I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

The big thing is, make sure wherever we think of going (if it's the 23rd) is open.

Yeah, I'll do my research, not to worry! (see, I had no idea that the brunch place would be closed because of the burst pipe, so not my fault!)

North End might be nice. Monday nights can be quiet at the places that are open, and there's a range of prices/styles of Italian food. Also if some folks aren't up for the whole dinner and caboodle, we can meet up for cannolis at Mikes or Modern Pasty afterward.

North End might be nice.

Ooh, hadn't thought of that. Plus, close to North Station.

I had a great meal at Taranta (which is Italian with Peruvian accents) a couple of weeks back, but it was a bit pricey. I also love Carmen, but that one's pricey AND tiny.

Taranta is really good, but I agree, pricey. However, the one time I went there on a Monday night it was really quiet, so we shouldn't have trouble getting a table!

La Summa seems well reviewed and cheap.

Is also open on Mondays.

There is also an asian cuisine/sushi place in the North End, Billy Tse's. Also looks reasonable and well regarded (at first glance).

ETA the restaurant's website: [link] and to note it also appears to be open on Mondays.

This web site has a lot of info: [link]

Warning, it does have sound, as I found out at work. I'd also recommend Antico Forno, and I'm intrigued by the menu at Terramia.

ETA this is also a really good web site for more general greater Boston info: [link]

By no means complete, but they've got some good places there.

The status is NOT quo.

Excellent. So I'll see you all on the 23rd. I've got to dry my hair, throw my last things in my bag, and head to the airport.

V&L, see you tonight!

Oooh -- I think I can do the 23rd as well! Yay! I thought I'd miss you, Kristin, because I am totally booked tomorrow.

Mostly lurking...

Starting Sunday I'm going to be in the Chicago area. I wanted to start talking about plans to get together with people. I'll be available mostly on the weekends (July 21-22 and July 27-30). But, I'll also be available for dinner on MY BIRTHDAY (hint), July 25. Would love to get a bunch of people together for that. So, let's talk. We can do it here or in e-mail...whatever is easiest for people.
