Boston Area DiSers

[Buzz Rules]

Ummm ok. That does not look appetising. Is it good?

Never had it. I don't like clams.

Bostonians, NYS has many haunted hotels. What are some well known haunted hotels in the Boston area?

Lizzie Borden House, a bed & breakfast in Fall Rivah, Mass.

 

[Minnie1222]

The Liberty Hotel on Charles St, Bwaston is probably also haunted since it served as a jail for 120 years.

He's a local - his parents were teachers, and they did a lot for the town (still do!) When I see these ads, I hear his dad's voice!

Thanks for the response. As I said before, everyone has a different recipe all over NY. If you lived in western NY, do you consider yourself an honorary NYer?

As in "the big apple"? - No. I grew up in a relatively rural area, and live closer to NYC now (in MA) than I did then, in NY.

Bostonians, do you enjoy Manhattan clam chowder?

Yes, since it was the first kind I was exposed to, and I love seafood in general. I still like both, but I think I like New England style better.

(For anyone who couldn't watch the video, it has pretty much the same "chunky" ingredients as New England style, but a clear tomato base instead of a creamy dairy one.)

I don't either, but I can eat clam chowder as long as the clams are minced up pretty small. I really just don't like chewing them. I prefer New England style personally too.

Let's not forget the Berkshires including Tanglewood and Jacobs Pillow which are both entertainment venues in western Mass. Tanglewood is particularly awesome.

NO!!! Blech!!!

 

[FastPasser.]

Tanglewood is particularly awesome.

Yes it is.

 

[SueInBoston]

We saw John Legend at Tanglewood last summer with a picnic on the green dining package. That was such a wonderful experience, we vow to make it an annual event.

It’s not something I’ve ever tried, that I recall. I love NE CC too much! (Now I want some!)

Oh, gosh, there are many! Lots of books and articles written about NE hauntings. Ghost tours are really fun, too. There is a lot of revolutionary war history near me. A friend lives in one of the oldest houses here and says it’s haunted but doesn’t like to talk about it. There are paths that were once main thoroughfares for Indians and colonists, and old taverns and railroad tracks, etc.

I had an experience once at a cemetery when I was on a photography scavenger hunt. I caught something on camera unexpectedly. It creeped me out a little but I also thought it was pretty cool.

When DD was small we told her they were chicken and she loved ”cram” chowder. Now she hates seafood and won’t go near it. DH and I, when we go out, often each get a cup of chowder, then split a sea scallop meal. So good!

I meant a New Yorker as in a resident of New York State.

I encourage anyone who hasn't tried it (and likes clams) to give it a chance in the future.

We have similar historic buildings/hotels/trails in the Hudson Valley. They were fun to visit and explore growing up.

Could you post the picture? I would love to see a ghost on film.

You could have told her it was chicken from the sea....

@PollyannaMom , do you miss things about NYS or does MA offer even more things to do in your opinion?

@PollyannaMom , do you miss things about NYS or does MA offer even more things to do in your opinion?

There's definitely more to do where I am now! (I actually sometimes miss the slower pace. )

I do miss the hills, especially in the fall, but here I have ocean to make up for it!

Did you root for NY teams growing up or were you always a Boston sports fan?

You guys have Ilvermorny too.
