like

Food: Tony and Elaine's, Mario's, Grill 23, James Hook, Mahaniyom, Kala Thai, Comfort Kitchen, La Voile (if you must eat on Newbury), Cafe Savauge, Oiishii

Drinks: Merai, Mr. Dooley's, Bukowski Tavern, Blossom Bar, Birds of Paradise, The Druid

Things to do: MFA/ICA (see if they have late nights while you're here), USS Constitution (take the ferry), walk along the esplanade, Freedom Trail, Bruins (or BU/BC hockey) game

Don't do: Mike's Pastry, most North End restaurants, any Fanueil Hall-proximal Irish Bar, eat on Newbury St, Aquarium, Seaport

Agreed on Mike’s. Not a fan. Maybe PWC2 wants to keep the tourists routed there.

Disagree on avoiding North End restaurants. Most are really good.

Anyone have more information on the role AM PPM. For HRST.requesting support if possible.Thanka in advance

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
