Dine-Around

Meet at the W Boston, then restaurants around Boston

An informal evening out in groups of six to ten. Registrants opt in and we help put the groups together; from there each group picks its own restaurant, makes its own reservation and settles up at the table. Nothing is booked or charged through the site.

Not included — each attendee pays their own way

Saturday Outings

Around Boston — make your own way there and back

Choose one ticket: a guided walk of the Freedom Trail — sixteen sites of the American Revolution, from the Old State House to Faneuil Hall — a tour of Fenway Park, or a Duck Boat tour. Or skip the tickets and take the day to enjoy the city. Lunch is on your own.
