    The Sox are home but they are playing the Yankees; Thats about $1200 per ticket.

    I recommend going to see Blue Man Group. Heck of a lot less expensive.

    If you like Lobster you'll have an easy time finding it. I was there a few years back for an arbitration hearing and I think I ate lobster 6 times in 3 days. I also brought two of the little suckers home with me, first class to Denver and a big pot of water :beer Of course I let the kids play with them for a while before I cooked em! :Brow: The kids :ball: and the look from the wife :puzzled:

    Go to Abe and Louie's for dinner. Bring a credit card they take, or plenty of cash. It's a nice place with great service and even better food. Right by the Pru (Prudential Center). Get the seafood tower if you're into that stuff. I ate so many raw oysters, clams cassino, oysters rockefeller, jumbo shrimp, and so much lobster I could barely eat my steak- a filet mignon stuffed with oysters :grin: Great scotch selection too, and I'm told (wine's not my thing) that they have a wonderful wine selection. When you order a Coke it's a glass bottle of Coke, too- nice touch

    But it ain't cheap. 28-35 bucks for an entree. Worth every penny
