OK, that's all I got so far, and reading about the SF-ers and LA-istas is making me feel, well, a little crap in the hostessing department.
Don't feel too bad, Nora. Having never looked into it that closely before, I was amazed by the absolute lack of kosher restaurants in the Boston area (even in Brookline), at least according to my usual rest. sources (aka Zagat). Aside from Milk Street Cafe, the Chinese place and Rubin's in Brookline that's it. There's probably some more that fly under Zagat's radar, but I wouldn't know where to look for them other than by random Googling. Which should probably be the next step.

Don't sweat it -- Deb hostesses professionally pretty much. Nothing fancy is happening in LA.

Yeah, but you're going to Disneyland (or at least some of you are). I don't know who can really beat that.
I'm mostly joking. I think it's probably cool for Nilly ot have a little bit of chilling-out time after much flying and meeting people and general whirlwindery. Or, well, she can make up her own mind about that when she gets here. We could go dancing! To Manray! Where's Emily? Get out of the fetal position you went into when I said that!

Just walk down Harvard Ave. in Brookline.
If you want some recommendations for which ones are supposed to be good, I can ask around; I've got a bunch of relatives who live in Brookline and keep kosher.
Hil, if you could get a recommendation for Chinese places, that would be good. And any other recommendations would be good, too!
For Chinese, every time we've visited them, we've gone to Shalom Hunan. I'll send my aunt an email asking for other recommendations.
