NES Social Dinner?

[tele_mark]

Sadly, Manchester is way out of my driving range so I would be a no go.

Manchester Airport is only about a mile from all these venues!

 

[Admin]

We haven't made any decisions yet. Anybody else have a suggestion to a location?

 

[Skald]

Maybe a local Pub 99 or such or Chinese Food place? I think we should focus on the people attending rather than the it be some 'best....' food joint, but doesn't hurt.

I don't know anything on the North Shore or the like.

 

[tele_mark]

Also in Manchester, in one of the old mills on Dow, a place with lots of atmosphere and one of my old favorites, and the food is to die for:

Manchester is fine for me. I agree that MFL would probably be pretty
fun... I've never been there before, but one of the guys I work with goes
there once or twice a year with his son to rent MGs and the like.

Hell, anyplace is fine as long as its inside of like 2 hours or so and has parking.
Ribs sound good, too, as long as there are plenty of napkins and wetnaps.

Dave's has a place in Braintree too! Some of the guys at BR&P were telling me about the place.

Manchester is a very long haul for me, especially since the "Big Pig" is out of the question . . . I don't carry enough life insurance to drive thru any part of it. Hmm, interesting but we no longer hear ANYTHING about that mess, do we!

This should also be done in the NES Members Only forum, not here in GD!

 

[MrsWildweasel]

I don't know of any places down your way D. Just that this one is a 2 1/2 hour drive for us. Been awhile since we were in the Devens area.

Len, have you noticed that the only people posting in this thread again have their names in either blue or green (or red, for Derek!)?

What do the colors mean?

 

[MrsWildweasel]

Hi Sarge. Blue is for us mods, green is the paid members, red is Derek the admin.

 

[C-pher]

Most likly, I'm going to need a place that's going to be kid friendly...if I can make it. Don't know if I can make Manchester...

There's that BBQ place in Norwell. http://cherrywoodsbbq.com/ if it's BBQ that everyone wants. Tennessee's in Braintree... Memphis BBQ in South Attleboro...

I forgot about the one in Braintree! Is that a better location for everyone? Besides Len, which I know it' alright.

It's not my favorite drive, but I can deal with it. Kind of leaves Frosty & the WildWeasels out in the cold, though. How about something more in Metrowest or the Worcester area for those guys? Or the Cracker Barrel in Sturbridge?

 

[MrsWildweasel]

Worcester area would be better for us for the drive.

 

[C-pher]

Anyone eaten at the The Texas BBQ Company in Northborough?

I'm not finding much in the way of BBQ out in the Wrocester area.

Texas BBQ in Northboro is Too small... Fireflies in Westboro?

 

[C-pher]

Someone said that Outlaw BBQ by the stadium was really good. Never been there, but still a drive for most.

 

[C-pher]

I've heard nothing but good things about Fireflies...and I've been wanting to try one.

I'm going to have to look up Westboro.


edited to add:

Westboro looks like it's not to bad of a drive for me...

 

[C-pher]

OHHHH....I just found this..

http://www.texsbbqexpress.com/all_you_can_eat.htm

It's 18 bucks a person, they cook on site for you...and you need a min of 30 people. Doesn't include 5% tax and 15% tip... but still not a bad deal for all you can eat.

They come out, cook onsite...and have all you would need except something to drink.

If there's someone that could handle this...I'd be willing to put up 20-22 dollars a person ahead of time....

Just a thought.

 

[dwarven1]

Worcester has the Woodfire BBQ (takeout only) and Armadillo Depot (very good but it's pretty small). Derek likes the Texas BBQ in Northboro but I wasn't that impressed.

And WHEN did Firefly's open a Westboro location?? Where is it? It's not listed on their website...

I meant Marlboro.... Smartass... What is it a two mile difference?

 

[dwarven1]

Smartass...

THANK YOU, SIR! May I have another!

Better for us, that's for sure. Although Manchester NH is doable from our Maine ranch on a Saturday.

 

[Skald]

I can do Western Mass and a bit into the North Shore, but as I said, NH is out for me for the most part (Unless its literally right over the border).

 

[K-DUB]

Anywhere within the state is ok with me. =)

 

[daceman63]

How about Danvers, Peabody or Newburyport.....It's in Mass and really close to NH and Southern Maine.

 

[andy t]

Another vote for Northshore area or Southern NH.
Perhaps we can arrange something with Bob's Tactical to have a dinner/shoot/discussion?

Since I live in Haverhill, I wouldn't mind that in the least, however, that would definately be a LONG haul for Sue (Mrs WW) and others who're a bit of a drive.

Somewhere at least in the middle for their sakes would be better. We can plan a shoot another time (and maybe have it at Bob's - aka Bay State Arms )

 

[dwarven1]

Excellent point, Lynne! No one is forcing us to have ONE dinner - we just need to rotate them around. NES-North shore, NES-West, etc.

I think that makes the most sense... If it's just one place, no matter what, someone(s) will have a haul.
