Me neither, but that’s because the Masters is on.

Heading into the city in about 2 hours to kill time before my first ever Bruins home game.

Where should I eat?

I am so excited for this.

Carmelina's is outstanding for Italian, ~8 min walk from the Garden in the north end

The original Pizzeria Regina is similarly close by

Yeah - this is a super broad question. How much time do you have? What type of atmosphere are you looking for? Drinks? Child friend? Walking/riding?

Ha, yeah, that was vague I guess. Walking distance to the rink is good, I won't be drinking as I have to drive back to Plymouth after the game.

Maybe seafood? Or chinese?

Neptune Oyster is walking distance and has outstanding seafood, no reservations though so after 5 it'll be tough to get in, get seated, and make the game.

For Chinese, Gourmet Dumpling House is my favorite but is a ~25 minute walk from the Garden. Quick trip on the Orange line though, 4 stops

Ward 8 has really good food and is close to the park too. You could walk down the greenway on Atlantic and grab a lobster roll at James Hook Co. Neptune is amazing but so hard to get a seat unless you get there early (like 3pm).

If you want a great spot to watch the Masters and get good pub food, Clarke's is always my go to.

I was always partial to the Penalty Box until it closed down. Then I was partial to Sully's until it closed down. Now I'm partial to Halftime Pizza, which I would imagine will close down.

Either way, I'm heading in around 4:30 today.

Let's fucking go.

Just wait until you get to North Station and find out the brand new escalator in the brand new tunnel is broken down again.

Ha, we made it through. Neptune is closed for a secret party, so we walked 2 doors down and are eating at Rabia's. Wife offered to drive, so beer it is.

Let's win tonight, eh?

I live in Tampa, and people here were shell-shocked this morning. Stunning turn of events last night. Didn't even take OT either.

If you want time to go by faster, royally screw something up at work and spend the last two hours trying to fix it. Worked for me.

Obviously you must now go drink with PSK; it is worth it. I would come and not chug a Guinness but I have neither the money nor the marriage karma at the moment to do sin

No Bruins game experience would be complete without meeting PSK and Realness.
