Dunn-Gaherin's was the main place I was thinking of but I guess it's actually in Newton not to far from the Needham line. There are a few other places right in that neighborhood too. None of them are big name places but they are all packed on weekends.
They serve booze in Needham now? I well remember when it was one of the dry towns. Everyone went othe packy in Dedham to stock up. There was no Starbucks and the only action ever was private parties.
They serve booze only at the restaurants. Ground Round, Not Your Average Joe's, couple Chinese places, ect. And there's an awesome Indian restaurant that opened up, it's called "Masala Art." Anyone in the area, definitely go.
Dunn-Gaherin's is one of my favorite places to get lunch, but they're not open on Sunday, so I don't get there too often. It is officially Newton, and there's some other Irish pubs in Newton as well.
Anyway, back to digging for fellas. Try posting an ad on craigslist.com personals, I've heard women typically get 100 responses in a day. Then you can weed out all the freaks.
<sigh> do we really have to get outside of the city to find men our age? Memer, how old are you, if I may ask? I'm 36 (I think, I've temporarily lost count) and many of the guys I meet are too young for me. All the same, I'd go out with slappy for a drink or 4 anyway.....
I've been to the Not Your Average Joes in Arlington and it is more of a family type restaurant, though there could have been single men there. I have turned off my radar because it was faulty.

Expand your horizons a little. It's good for you!

My radar needed a major over-haul. I have it back but I don't know how to use it very well.
It didn't come with a manual, so it's trial and error.
I have a question. Why is it that all the single women that I'm in love with live in Boston and not New York? Littlek, Paulaj, Dagmaraka...life's not fair...
Kicky, if you were here, maybe you'd change your mind? And, then, suddenly, all the women in NYC would start looking better.
Don't worry, Kicky. I'm sure Boston women would hate you just as much.
i think l'k is right. we would all descend upon Kicky, for there just ARE NO WORTHY SINGLE MEN IN BOSTON!!!! there aren't, there aren't, and I looked everywhere. I am at BU AND at Harvard - and if there ever was anything going on in the Harvard faculty club or in the BU library, I assure you that's all gone. I looked. Nada. Zilch. Getting out of here. Maybe Vienna will be better. Then again, maybe it is the age group. All the good-looking and sane ones are married or gay.
I need to wait for the divorces to be final or the kids to grow up.
It is wise for a divorce to be final, that's being responsible.
I have a million excuses myself. I'm so used to being single, I've alost forgotten what it's like to have a significant other.
Geez, it's been years since I had a serious relationship and that was a bad one. I've dated since then, but not much.

That describes me to a Tee. I kind of like my free time, and doing what ever I feel like and never having to answer to someone, hmm, I think I might be un-dateable, ooooh no. lol
Same boat right there with you... got a paddle?
Shall I break out the Ben&Jerry's and turn on Oprah, ladies?
Dag, maybe your problem is you're looking at Harvard/BU.
I know it's hard, but I'm sure Boston isn't too bad an area for singles compared to some other hell-holes in this country.
I'm in a slump too(as far as finding someone who's actually worth going out in public with), but just gotta keep pluggin' away.
Slappy, this isn't use being depressed about anything. This is two adult women almost a little too happy about some aspects of being single (assuming I can speak for Paula)
I know, I know...a little Thelma and Louise action.
You have to excuse me, I'm sick right now.
Ever notice family members think they can say anything, I was chatting with one of my brother's and he said- "you know paula, your not getting any younger," he didn't mean it as an insult, but he came kind of close.
One more comment like that and I'll put him on my bastid list :-)
My mom told me she wants to be a grandmother.
I laughed my ass off, told her all my kids are in Cancun, and go talk to my married sister.
