    Working the crowd, Gary.

    I like the question and answer, you should bring viewer questions back to the show.

    QOTD: I don’t really know anything about Boston. Car Talk is OK, but that’s from Cambridge.

  • Good Show! I agree on your suggestion of Cave for people who are stuck on only one sparkling wine. Proseco is another good choice.

    QOTD: I don’t have any opinion about Boston. I have only been there in winter and I was not impressed.

    Loved the show. Grew up in Wusta (not faa from Bawstin) and lived in Boston for 6 years. Actually lived in a Boston University dorm literally across the street from the Commenwealth Hotel, which was actually an IHOP back then (better for “recovery Sundays.” Loved the Q&A format too.

    QOTD: I love Boston. One of my all time favorite cities. Too many things to list, but some of my favorites are:
    1.) All the pro-sports teams (especially the Sox & Pats)
    2.) Sunset Bar & Grill (110 Beers on Tap & over 500 bottles)
    3.) Head of the Charles
    4.) Public Garden on a weekday (not too crowded)
    5.) Esplande for running
    6.) The history

    Definitely miss it as I live in NY now…

  • Scott & Kath – Boston

    Top 4 show, easy. It blows away episode #212 away as a fav.

    QOTD : 1. Intelligent people/audiences. A lot of comedians love playing here because they don’t have to dumb anything down. 2. It’s a pretty safe town. 3. Girls. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a co-ed. Now there’s a visual!

    Meeting Gary = As nice a guy as you’d think. Thanks Gary.

    This show was just awesome GV. My sister was there for the taping and sent me a pic while you were tasting – I wish I could’ve been there! Loved the Q&A at the end too. QOTD: my favorite thing about Boston is totally the people. You can’t help but feed off the vibe of Bostonians – they make you love their city just as much as they do. Keep it real.

    Great show! You really bring the thunder when you have an audience; loved the feel / engagement that you had with the crowd. Need more live shows!

    QoTD: Yes, yes, yes! Great question … so many things to love about Boston … I was going to say how friendly the people are until you said “the people” … so I’ll have to go with the cannoli in North End … Not *quite* Italy, but I defy anyone to find a better cannolo in the States.

    What about Touriga Nacional for the next big grape from Europe? And, even though it’s already fairly well known, from a mainstream standpoint, I think Tempranillo could stand to see an upsurgeance.

    Boston? The accents, of course.

    The fact that is like my home away from home.
    The Monster Prime Rib at Durgin Park Near Faneuil Hall is definitely a stand out and a ride on the Ducks is always cool.
