So what should Mao have for lunch?

[Urban Ranger]

Cheap takeout usually is usually, eh, quite cheap. I don't know what you eat, but one hour seems to be lots of time. Just don't go for the dim sums, grab one of those set meals (e.g. rice with BBQ pork, fried rice noodles with beef, etc.)

Mao, what landmarks is your workplace near?

[Mao]

erm...hmmm...I work at State Street...it's the building with the big State Street on top of it...if that's a landmark. I'm about 10 minutes away from Macy's, Filene's, etc. downtown and about 10-15 from Chinatown. Not quite sure what landmarks are around here...never bothered to check...

[History Guy]

Yes, eat, eat, eat...but darn it, man...don't forget Mrs. Jack's Palace...or should I say the Gardner Museum?! If you go to Boston without dropping in...well, I can't answer for the consequences...

(i.e. Looking back on it and saying "Darn! Why did I miss that?")

mono, what do you think?

I don't know your particular area of town too well, so my suggestion is to start building some restaraunt knowledge, sampling what's in the area, finding what has good deals and such. Take charge of your life, man!
