Last Thursday, i left for Boston viaPhiladelphia, picking up [livejournal.com profile] nancylebov on the way, and got to [livejournal.com profile] thespian's house about 00:30 on Friday. We got in late due to starting out later than planned and pausing for food at The Club Diner in Bellmawr, NJ. We first stopped at that diner one night on our way back from a con - we were both ravenous, and it beckoned from the side of NJ 168 on our way to the Ben Franklin Bridge. We've eaten many meals there over the years now, and recommend it if you find yourself at Exit 3 on the NJTP or Exit 28 from I-295 in NJ. Head W from the Turnpike or E from 295: it's on the S side of the road.

Friday we got to the hotel. Saturday i went for a walk up to Central Square and got me a sundae at Toscanini's, and sat and reminisced for a bit before walking back to the hotel, where i ran into Amqueue, with whom i had a lovely dinner at the hotel restaurant, Zephyr on the Charles. They do lovely, lovely soups there. I also ate my dinner on Sunday night at the hotel restaurant. Food was good-to-decent for what i had - though again, the soups were all lovely.

The hotel provided a food bar at the bottom of the escalator on the 1st floor with a wide variety of yummy things, including a veggie chili and a selection of soups, a variety of Uno's personal pan pizzas, a veggie noodle box, various wraps, cookies, a terrific setup of fresh-baked potatoes with most any common topping you could want, and all were reasonably priced. Most of my food came from that selection over the weekend.

Ran into and/or chatted with a bunch of people at least in passing including: [livejournal.com profile] britecloth, [livejournal.com profile] jbsegal, [livejournal.com profile] ckd, [livejournal.com profile] lordlnyc, [livejournal.com profile] badgerthorazine, [livejournal.com profile] kdsorceress, [livejournal.com profile] happypete, [livejournal.com profile] prettypammie, M and chinfuzzy - whom i get to see only at Arisia usually, and bunches of others.

Monday night [livejournal.com profile] nancylebov and i spent with the most gracious [livejournal.com profile] thespian again, and we ate at The Club Diner again, getting into Philadelphia a bit after 23. I finally got home about 14:30. We happily left the wintry mix behind us somewhere in Connecticut, and had clearish, mostly dry travel the rest of the way down.

I need to take [livejournal.com profile] tomhundleyrn up to Boston for some days so we can visit people and places. He's not been there yet. Only place he's been in Massachusetts so far is Pittsfield.
