Stamford is there but pretty close to the NY side.

Waterbury is directly on your way if you take 684/84 instead of 95(15)/91/84. They're both about the same.

Springfield.  Maybe 90 minutes from Boston depending on traffic.  Fun to visit.  Not too much of a detour if you are traveling to/from Boston from NYC.

Bringing my kids to Fenway for the 8/23 day game. I know Brookline has some weird parking rules. Will I have any problem finding parking for the whole afternoon somewhere near the restaurants (prob Rami's) and the T? TIA

parking rules are as follows: 2 hour limit on residential street parking. No overnight parking 2am-6am. Follow meter rules. In front of ramis is metered on street parking. In back of ramis is a municipal lot with metered parking. A couple of blocks away is free 2 hour residential parking

Is there a maximum number of hours on the metered parking? Need to park for up to 7 hours.

What’s the latest with Taam China? Is it a reliable hechsher?
If there is one other restaurant to go to in Boston, which one is it?

It no longer exists- the new name is Kosher Wok. Hashgacha is from the Rabbi who runs Crown K (New England Kashrus Le’mehadrin)

Milk St. Cafe or Rami's.

Is the food still good?

What’s the deal with JP Licks? Are they all kosher?
