Restaurants near Opera House - Boston

Ah, you're near the Common (the Opera House is at 539 Washington St, Boston, 02111), so you want Chinatown. Most places are really inexpensive, lots to choose from.

I am very familar with the area as I used to work not too far away on Tremont St. However, most restaurants I can think of that are not fast food - are too trendy in that my daughter would think they are cool, but may not like the food. I do like Chinatown, but as far as I know, most would not be appropriate for when you are very dressed up - as we plan on being very dressed up for the occassion.

I did get Jacob Wirth at 31-37 Stuart St. as a recommendation, but not sure how nice it is - and not sure as to how far a walk. I also got P.F. Chang, however, if I was going that far, I would just bring her to Legal Seafood or Magelll (whatever that Italien place is).

Isn't Jae's near there? How about that German restaurant we all met ebrowne at?

The Combat Zone is right there. You can take her to...on second though never mind.

<grin>

What about Pho, is it still there?

littlek, your memory's slipping. "That German place" is where y'all met PDiddie the night I wasn't able to join you. And that place is Jake Wirth's. I second that recommendation.

Merry - you are right! But, wasn't ebrowne there, too?

And just where has pdiddie been?

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who's noticed the slippage of littlek's memory.

I didn't want to say anything.

Thanks, Merry.

Jacob Wirth's is probably what you are referring to - they do have a kids menu and that is a thought. I love Jae's, but it probably won't be to a kids palate.

She isn't old enough to get into any of those. But I bet you could recommend some good ones.

Love Pho too! But again, I don't think there is anything on the menu she would like. That's the problem I am having - lots of great places, but not much that a kid would like to eat. She likes lots of different things, but as most kids - likes things a bit more plain.

I think I might just go in earlier - and maybe park on the street near legal seafood and go there - she would love that. Loves seafood - especially shrimp and lobster, however, I will have to tell her ahead of time no lobster.

Hard to go wrong with LSF.

I recall when Hermione and the Lovely Bride were into the
mother-daughter Nutcracker thing. Some really great memories
for both of them. I hope you and your little Sugar Plum Fairy
have a great time.

Thanks George! My daughter is so excited about it - but I may be more so. I have been to the ballet lots of times, but believe it or not I have never seen the Nutcracker.

She does love Legal Seafood and it is a bit nicer than an average family type place, but not so much so that there is not anything on the menu she won't like. They do have a great kids menu and usually the Park Plaza is very pretty decorated for Christmas - I could walk her through the hotel lobby area.
