Sunday October 13 Furry Luncheon
5 years ago
When: Every second Sunday of the month, at 1:00 PM. This month's is on October 13.
Where: Hei La Moon at 88 Beach St in downtown Boston. It's a classic dim sum place.
It’s in between the South Station and Chinatown T stops. If you're driving into Boston, good luck.
The sidewalk abutting the restaurant is fairly constrained, so let's meet up at the Chinatown Gate 1 block west, along the Greenway. We'll start gathering around 12:45 and head over a few minutes after 1PM once we think we've got everybody.
What: Dim sum is a Chinese banquet hall brunch style of meal. Instead of ordering off a menu, servers push carts laden with small plates from table to table, and you grab what looks interesting and share around the table. Dishes tend towards assorted dumplings, plus pork buns, rice cakes, and some less familiar things like watermelon soup, grass jellies and red bean pastes.
It's generally fairly easy to keep vegetarian at dim sum, but because of language barriers and how ordering works, more stringent dietary restrictions are trickier to maintain. Be forewarned.
What the bill comes to depends on how much everyone eats, it's best to expect somewhere in the range of $20-30 per person. Bringing cash will be helpful.
The meet aims to be a clean-rated event, though for legal/liability reasons we must insist everyone be at least 18.
Let's not perplex hapless waitstaff and restaurant goers too badly. Badges and small accessories can be helpful for finding each other, but please no fursuits, that would be awkward.
We have a Telegram group chat, which is the best way to coordinate with the group: https://t.me/joinchat/DMYhBxENA1gNCuLcn5YGdA
The next month's luncheon should be on Sunday, November 10, 2019
