places around and at mit

places around and at mit this post is just a filler post so i meet my self-set goal of a blog a week as im currently working on a semester recap video blogpost that documents my time here at mitbut im really lazy and its difficult to compile footage all together and im really trying my best. but yes. if my blogpost were a series, this is a filler episode. One of the great things about MIT is its location. Youre in this hub of great scientific and technological advancement, as well as close to one of the busiest and bustling cities in the world, Boston. During my time here, Ive tried to make an effort to explore campus and its surrounding city area since this is probably the most free time Ill have over these next four years. In these past months, my friends and I have discovered our fair share of places around the Cambridge-Boston area that have left great impacts on us, both negative and positive. Ive compiled two lists of godless and sacred places that our friends have found this past semester. Godless and Holy Places around MIT according to crabmeats01 my friend group! Godless Places Chicago Pizza Raymond and Aiden once went here because it was 3 in the morning and Beantown was closed Raymond asked for a hamburger It was served to him on a sandwich bun, cut in half, undercooked. Absolutely godless. Legal Seafood Boston is supposed to be a place of good seafood. Do not go here for good seafood. There are so many better places. Annas This is a heated debate amongst crabmeats because Chambers would argue that Annas is delicious while us Californians who miss Mexican food back home will argue that Annas is, in fact, not it. But since Im making this blogpost: Its godless. ZBT Basement ZBT house is beautiful and actually really nice, the ZBT boys do a good job of keeping the house clean. Probably the cleanest frat Ive been to. But also when its 70 people cramped down in the basement for a party and you go to lean against the walls and the walls are Damp? Truly godless. Im also only calling out this specific basement because crabmeats has frequented it a lot just because Raymonds in ZBT and we like to tease him for being our only fratboy representation. 8.01/8.02 TEAL room Every time I walk by the TEAL room I want to vomit. I have so much trauma from 8.01. Aiden and Emma, who braved through 8.01 instead of transferring to 8.01L like I did, also agree that TEAL is godless. Simmons Ballpit no comments just peak your head in and inhale. Loop Stove she takes an hour to preheat, occasionally smells like gas a bit too strongly, kind of unreliable. Very terrifying. Holy Places Beantown at 2AM When youre walking back from a party and youre hungry and its like 2 in the morning, you know theres always one place you can rely on. Beantown. Is a favorite amongst all of crabmeats the perfect late night snack Apple Cinemas a tiny theatre we stumbled upon when I came back on a Tuesday night from Thanksgiving break we impulse bought tickets to Frozen 2 and realized they had a Bargain Tuesday deal aka tickets were only $4.75 it is just a high quality theater thats kind of small and cute and just really nice Courthouse Seafood okay so Raymond went to this place two years ago for some robotics thing and he went to this really good seafood place with, as he says, really soft salmon and the best salmon [hes] ever had however, he forgot the name of it UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO where he remembered the name of it by looking back in his messenger conversations to find the name we went here today thinking raymond was overexaggerating how good the salmon was BUT NO. THIS SHIT SLAPPED. IT WAS SO GOOD? IT WAS SO SOFT? AND TENDER? THE SALMON WAS AMAZING? BUT ALSO LITERALLY  EVERYTHING ELSE WAS SO GOOD TOO i got clam chowder and a crabcake and it was AMAZING while caroline got fish and chips which was so soft and flavorful and raymond and aiden both got their salmon dinnersso goodSo holy Stud 5 P E A K PRODUCTIVITY. TRULY. Stud5 air just HITS different and you just get so much work done here. i dont know whats in those vents but truly, i am my most productive here. Z Center hi qual gym equipment in a positive nice environment MIT.nano pretty, nice, quiet! great study area IHOP ihop really hits when you go at 12 in the morning. we go to the one near harvard and honestly eating breakfast foods at godless hours makes it holy. my friend group! back to text ?
