Three is better. Pot roast, corn bread, and non-frizzy hair? ETA: Or maybe somewhere easier for the Salem folks? ---

> [@tdn](#): > > Pot roast, corn bread, and non-frizzy hair? I know you’ve got a crush on the waitresses at Durgin Park, but there’s a Mexican place just a couple doors down that I’d like to try one of these days. Or if you’re tired of Mexican food, somewhere closer to Salem would work for me too. ---

I’ve been to a lot of Mexican places lately, but since we’re talking about post-Thanksgiving, Mexican might be a nice break from turkey. I think I know the place you’re talking about, and I’ve been there. I remember it as being pretty good. ---

That’s 4! Now here’s things we needto consider: Wheelchair accessible, Boston area (South of Lynn, North of Cohassett, East of Framingham) ---

> [@tdn](#): > > Pot roast, corn bread, and **non-frizzy hair**? Are you mocking me? :dubious: I would be up for it, even if you are mocking me. **etv** , when we’re looking for wheelchair access, does that include public transportation or do you drive? (Ideally, we’d be near public transportation for non-drivers, but not all public transportation is wheelchair accessible). ---

> [@lorene](#): > > Are you mocking me? :dubious: Dearie, I would never mock you. Tease you, yes, but not mock you. And I really hope that you can make it because you bring all sorts of awesome to the 'fests. ETA: Wheelchair access makes Durgin Park out of the question, and probably most of Quincy Market. ---

Love to, even if only for the chance to say “Hi, Opal!” in person. Where/when? How about trivia night at some downtown establishment? ---

lorene, I use the RIDE and the geographic parameters I mentioned are their parameters. BTW, I’m ALL FOR a trivia nite! ---

**etv** , if you know of any great places, please suggest them. You know where you can go and where you can’t. Personally, I can’t imagine getting around this city in a wheelchair. I was very aware of that the other night when I was trying to get past some construction. If I was in a wheelchair, I wouldn’t have been able to go home. ---

I’m in western MA, but I drive over to the Boston area fairly frequently. – Will there be chicks? Or at least board games? ---

Boston Mcgann’s Pub Church Bar Rozzie PJ Kellehers The Alpacas (brother’s band) have played gigs at these venues, so I know they’re accessible and spacious. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/boston-dopefest/559838.md?page=2)
