Dear Boskone members,
The Saturday of Boskone 46 falls on Valentine's Day. If you are interested in dining with your sweetie, or with a group of friends, you might need to make reservations. Printed copies of the updated restaurant guide, as well as binders with sample menus, will be available at the Information desk.

There are new area restaurants for you to try. Two are in the hotel: M.J. O'Connors, an Irish-style pub and the sleek and sophisticated City Bar .
Others are within a fifteen minute walk: from chef and restaurateur, Barbara Lynch, there's Drink and Sportello; there's also restaurateur Michael Schlow's 606 , easy to find at 606 Congress St. in the Renaissance Hotel; and for those hankering a steak, there's a Morton's Steakhouse.
