Nobody thinks that the Kinsale is the nicest place on earth, but it is centrally located; it has decent prices (beers are at least a dollar cheaper than Faneuil Hall); and, they accommodate our group, which, frankly can be unpredictable of size. Will we be five people? Will we be 45? The more the merrier, but we need a restaurant that will be flexible with us.

Of course, the DO location is precisely where the DO organizer sets it up. Mike and I chose the Kinsale. If someone wants to set up a DO elsewhere, then so be it!
