So where do we eat? The people with me want pasta.

If we don’t try we’ll never know. At least I can find out how good I can be. I can have an answer at the end of the days, and have a hell of a good time with the process. -Desi Davila

Where in Boston?

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Thanks! By the way, I didn't stalk you before I came up because I knew I'd be with a group. And my wife doesn't think any of you are real people.

She's right, for people in and out of Boston. We're unreal people.

Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

Good suggestion for pasta, along with most North End restaurants.

The Bova's lived on my street growing up and had kids all around our ages. Good snacks at their house!

those chocolate cannolis sound great, so does giacomos pasta! yum yum!!!

what are some other good bakeries or restaurants for eating in boston. giacomos must be absolutely packed during boston marathon and impossible to get into. where else is good as a second choice for eating pasta or pastry.......during the marathon weekend.

next race SHONAN MARATHON nov 3rd, 2011, KOBE MARATHON nov 20th, 2011, rather than running boston again, i am aiming for nyc!

Yes, yes!! More food suggestions! We are staying at the BW at Longwood, so any suggestions near there would be great. Someplace that would be within walking distance, like a mile or 2, for breakfast the morning after would be excellent also. Need to get a little stretch of the legs before getting back on Amtrak for the ride home....suspect they'll need a wheelbarrow to get me off the train upon arrival back in Milwaukee.

We went there first, but they do not open until 5 and the people in the group didn't want to wait.

We went to Catalina's. Really nice little place. Gahlic. Heh.

Mike's also has good coffee.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

We went to Johnny D's in Somerville on day 2. People came pouring in from a St. Patty's day 5(?)k, and were sipping Guinness by 11:30 a.m.

I noticed lots of people walking around with the Bosox paraphernalia, much more than Patriots stuff.

I felt really comfortable in that town, took lots of pictures (despite the rain) and look forward to going back.

Brookline Village is pretty close to Longwood, either on foot or by T. Three good restaurants there: Pomodoro for Italian carbo-loading (can't find website), Orinoco for Venezuelan (http://orinocokitchen.com/) and Village Smokehouse for BBQ (http://www.villagesmokehouse.com/brookline.html).

I can't think of any interesting breakfast places, besides chains.
