Great advice, thanks a lot zen.

I am going to be a little limited since I don't get in to Boston until 3:00 on the day of the game. By the time I get to my hotel, check in, and get to Fenway, it is going to be pretty close to game time. I am going to have to arrange something in advance. Since I am looking for just one seat I am hoping to have a little more seat availability.

I looked at some seats on stubhub and was surprised by the 300-400% markup over face value. I guess that is normal. When I lived in Atlanta, I could walk down to the stadium an hour or so before the game and get a ticket for close to face value from any scalper. Looks like I will be ponying up some big bucks, but it is worth it since this very well be my only time to see a game at Fenway.

I am going to be staying at the Marriott Renaissance Boston Waterfront. I'm not going to have much free time in the evenings, but I would love to check out some good dining and/or brewpubs when I get out of my conference. Any advice for places near that area?

Also, so I don't take this thread too far away from baseball talk, maybe a personal message would be more appropriate.

Thanks a lot for your advice.
