Lynah East (and possibly Dartmouth) Roll Call

No problem!



[Q]1) Do you have any suggestions for places to park in Cambridge for most of the day (2pm-11pm)? I've heard parking is pretty difficult.

2) Do you have any suggestions for a post game drink/bite to eat (for both the Dartmouth and Sucks game)?

3) Are there any additional suggestions or is there any other info I might benefit from about the trip in general? [/Q]


1) Hahaha... biggest understatement ever :-). Next thing you'll be telling me that driving around Boston is kinda confusing ;-)

My best parking suggestion: don't. At least not near Harvard Square - not for all day. I don't know Cambridge all that much, so perhaps someone has an insider information (i.e. there's a few hidden free parking areas in Boston, so perhaps there's something similar in Cambridge), but other than that, I would suggest turning North at I-95(Route 128) off the Pike, and then heading into Boston on Route 2. Just before the end of Route 2 you get off this little exit off to the right that points to Alewife Station - which the end of the Red line of the T (subway).

According to the MBTA website, parking at Alewife is $5 (I hope that's not per  hour, it doesn't say so). And then take the Red line ($1.25 per person) to Harvard Square.

If you're staying in Boston, I would suggest parking at your hotel and taking the red line (and whatever else) to Harvard Square.

All this would mean you'd have to walk to the rink and back to the Harvard Square T, but it's all very walkable (although not short).


2) I can only recommend you stuff on the Comm Ave (BU) stretch, which there's plenty, but you won't be getting there if you follow my above suggestion. But there's plenty in Harvard Square I'd bet, so you'll be fine.


3) Dartmouth is further than you think. Get an early start :-)

I'll be at both with several friends.  Looking for some more Dartmouth tickets though.

For the love of God, don't put Olsen in charge of directions.

We don't talk about that weekend.  Also, that loss at Union that year we dont talk about.  And the QF's too.  In fact, it should be more or less a rule that anything relating to the spring of '04 never happened.

As everyone knows, Cornell didn't have a season that year.  Just the Everblades tournament.

First Lynah East trip for me, I will be next to Ari.... in other news Boston Sucks, Go Yankees!

You can get away with wearing a Cornell jersey in Boston, but make sure of your medical coverage before saying B*oston sucks anywhere east of Route 495. Joan Baez will have to write a song about you, sadder even than, "I dreamed I saw Joe Hill one night ..."

I plan to be at Lynah East.  Can't make Darmouth, have to work that evening.

Is limited to just saying "Boston sucks", or by implying it by wearing a Yankees cap?

[Josh '99]

Sadly can't make it.  Figures that the year we're going to Harvard when it won't be four degrees out is the year I have to skip.

You can probably say "Red Sox ownership/administration sucks" and most in Boston would agree with you right now after the whole Theo fiasco.  But why waste your breath on that when you can say "Hahvahd Sucks!"


To add to the parking information, there are a few parking garages in Harvard Sq, which I can't imagine run more than $25 for the night, though I don't know how crowded they'll be.  But if you want the closest/easiest parking for the game and don't mind shelling out more for parking than a ticket, it's an option.
