Snow and Sky: Dinner in the North End

Dinner in the North End

This weekend was the last of three MIT Open House weekends for prospective graduate students. A lot of what goes on is actually planned and run by the current grad students... It's fun for us and probably helps them with their workload. I got the chance to host a student two weeks ago - I told the story - but this week I helped by leading a dinner trip. Much less time intensive, although it did basically kill my evening.

We went to Pagliuca's, a nice hole-in-the-wall place in the middle of the North End. For those folks who don't know Boston, the North End is the traditional Italian quarter, and is packed to the gills with Italian restaurants. We had a great time - twelve people in all, a tasty meal and wonderful dessert.

The bill came to over $350, which was pretty decent for all twelve of us. We 'invented' a few extra students so that we would get reimbursed fully... That even when the allowance per person is $25.

Now I'm on the train headed home. It's very late but I still have some homework that needs finishing up. Sleep is going to be tough to find this next week... Good thing spring break is coming up!
