Orinoco and Teranga look interesting and good!
Teranga looked really interesting to me, too. I've been dying to go to Orinoco for a while now, but I've heard the waits can be hellacious (and w/out much of a bar to offset the wait).
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

ooh, i wouldn't mind going to the place in Central.
we don't need to go to South End, I just always have fun there. Usually when I go to the Beehive (which is pretty large-2 floors- if we get there early enough we should be able to get a table without much drama). They also have an awesome grilled cheese and shortrib sandwich.
So I vote for Asmara, the Beehive, or Terenga.

Ooh, I'd definitely go for the Beehive. But any of the three are OK. Lord knows there's plenty of food in Central Square if we need to reconsider.
What's everybody's timetable? I get out between 4 and 4:30 usually, depending on what time I get in on Friday.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
My course will be done, so I should be free whenever. I'd prefer meeting earlier to later, as I will be meeting up with the friend I'm staying with for the weekend afterward. I have a T pass, so I can make it into Central Square no problem. In fact, I'm going up to Cambridge for dinner tomorrow night.

Let's do Asmara in Central-- it will be much more low key than the Beehive.
I can be there by 5:30.
It's been ages since I had Ethiopian food!

No utensils, right? Just the bread.
ETA, Asmara works for me if it works for others. I just fear the South End crowd-wise on a Friday evening for some of the places I listed.

I'm cool with Asmara.

There is an Ethiopian place in Oakland that I should go to sometime, but I've never seen a Senegalese place before.
No recs for Boston, natch, but I think I've been to this place in Oakland with Buffistas, and it was teh yum. You should go when you get home, P-C.

Hey! I can be at Asmara at 5:30! The missus must decline, though. I didn't think I could join you guys since I've got plans for later in the evening, but 5:30 I can do.
P-C -- if you're staying at the Sheraton, you should consider taking the #1 bus, instead of the subway. The #1 bus is a straight shot down Mass. Ave into Cambridge, whereas with the subway, you have to take the green line all the way to Park St. and then switch to the red line into Cambridge. It's easier and more scenic.

Aw.

Yeah, I took the #1 before. I'll see where I am when I need to get there. For instance, I'm going to Cambridge tonight, but I'm going to be taking the green line back to the hotel anyway, and I think it might actually be easier to just stay on and transfer to the red line rather than wait for the bus if the timing doesn't work out.
Ha, yeah, it's actually ten minutes faster and less waiting to just go straight there on the T from here. Coming back, I may take the bus, though, since it's a straight shot.
