Last minute questions/directions

To the friendly Boston locals-4 days and counting! We are really getting excited about our upcoming visit. I am fine-tuning some of our plans and wondered if I could get someone to help. My hubby is going to take a Fenway tour on Tues and needs to know the easiest way to get there. We will be at the Radisson on Stuart. We’ve done the subway in NYC, and the El in Chicago, so, if he has instructions, he should be ok. Besides, I am sending him first to get lost during the day; we have tickets to the game Tues night! Regarding that, we want to eat somewhere near the stadium before hand, to get the Sox spirit. Any suggestions and what time we should be there, in order to be finished for the evening game. Again, thanks in advance for all your input.

Hi,





From the Radission, have the Concierge or front desk direct him to the Arlington St. Green Line station, which is one block from the hotel.





When entering Arlington station, he wants to follow signs for the ';Outbound'; side of the platform. Once on the platform, check the signs on the incoming trains. He can take any train, EXCEPT for the E-Heath St. train. Get on the train and take it to Kenmore Sq. When leaving Kenmore, follow the signs in the station for Fenway Park.





Once outside on the sidewalk, make a left and staying on that sidewalk, keep walking. He will pass a restaurant ';Eastern Standard';, then further along, he will pass a Soverign Bank branch. Then, he follows the road up and over the Mass Turnpike. At that point, he will see Fenway right in front of him.





Hope you enjoy your trip.

I like Eastern Standard for pre-game food and (especially) drink, especially if I can get a table outside.





Assuming the game starts at 7:05, I%26#39;d make sure to get anywhere by 5 to get seated, or even earlier if you want to hang outside the park before you go in.




The bars around Kenmore Square and especially in the shadows of Fenway will certainly have lots of %26#39;spirit.%26#39; The Cask n Flagon, Game On, Boston Beer Works are all located within a stonesthrow of one another and they all will be packed with Sox fans. Dinner time should depend on when you want to enter the park. If you want to enter the park as early as possible(5pm for a 7:05 game) then I%26#39;d arrive at the bar around 4-ish.




Thanks for the great directions, I am confident he won%26#39;t get lost, and I%26#39;m sure the friendly folks of Boston will help him out if need be! Eastern Standard sounds good, maybe I will sneak out of the conference early and get there in time for a couple of drinks.
