There's a nice little house of pizza type place where you can get pizza, pasta, steak tips, that kind of thing on the left side of the hotel from the front
My Thursday plans are to get in between 1-2PM, get badge, check into hotel, then go help out with Tabletop setup for a bit. Dunno when I will be grabbing dinner or where. One guy in my group is working Main Theater and has a 7PM team meeting, and the other guys don't get in until after midnight, so I'll be eating either before 7 or after 8.
After dinner: tabletopping. I am staying in Westin so I will see how the table space situation is with the unwashed masses. If it is too crowded as it is every year, we will retreat to the secret tabletop lounge we discovered at the Seaport last year.
Not all good food is up by the Hynes! It is almost tradition at this point that I get people together for Thursday night dinner at Barlows. It is good upscale pub food. Ro already said Legal Test Kitchen. This place Gather that I posted about before just opened a few months ago and looks like a great dinner spot. People like The Barking Crab too but I've never gotten a table there in the past, so can't vouch.
If you want one of the best meals you will have in Boston: get in a cab on Sunday morning and go to Myers + Chang for Sunday dim sum brunch. FUCKING DO THIS. Get the tea-smoked ribs. You will thank me.
Barking Crab is decent, if a bit touristy. I might be going with a few other friends on Saturday depending on the schedule (but they had to make reservations well in advance).
It's also nearly a tradition to go to Grendel's Den in Cambridge on Sunday for me.

Hmmm... are the tables at the Seaport smaller than the giant round tables at the Westin? That might be better all around.
The area I'm referring to had tables on the smaller side but pretty well enough suited for 4 player games. Quiet and out of the way, but just a bit dim. Prob enough space for 4 games.
Started GroupMe. Added everyone from my previous GroupMe contacts who was applicable. If I didn't add you and you want in, post your email. If I did add you and shouldn't have, sorry.
Thanks to @pence my buddy and I will be there in full force for the weekend. I'd love to be added to the groupme too - roshan.sadanani+groupme@gmail.com
Seriously, fuck the haters. They proved that they will shit on PAX no matter what when they cried foul about the diversity loungue, despite it being done at the recommendation of e very leading voice on those issues.
I just looked at that G+ page again - *someone has a ramble about how this is another example of PAX's sexisim* "Uh, let's be clear, PAX didn't do this" "Yeah well it doesn't make them seem any less hostile"

How much is coat/bag check?
Don't know if it's legit. However, wasn't there talk about unisex bathrooms or something?
Not going to stop people from hating on and blaming PAX, though.
So, yeah.
