Nicer hotel bars. It's been a while but Oak Long Bar in Copley, Intercontinental Hotel, Contessa on Newbury, Four Seasons, etc. have long been go to's for a "nice" but low key evening.

EDIT: Contessa is a restaurant in the hotel, NOT the lounge bar. I was referring to the bar.

Fios? I'd schedule something with Comcast (check online for special rates, free installation, etc.) and then call to cancel RCN for that date and see if they come back with a better deal.

Since RCN became Astound(?) the customer service has gotten worse but it's still the best value around.

Do you have a roommate or SO that could sign up for service at the same address to get the new rate?
