Boston, Massachusetts [Thursday evening]

As the sun went down, it was time for some evening fun. If you didn't have enough history during the day, now is your chance to make up for that! Tonight's offerings, much like the people of Fandom, are food-oriented, and there's at least one chance to make terrible decisions you might regret in the morning. Who wouldn't be at least a little curious?

We're spending the week at the five-star/five diamond Boston Harbor Hotel. Hotel luxuries include a private health-club style spa and fitness center, award-winning dining, and a full-service 34-slip marina.

Students' deluxe rooms have windows out over downtown Boston, and their chaperones' premier rooms have views out over the marina and into Boston Harbor. The rooms come equipped with all the amenities and two full beds or one king ~~depending on which is funnier~~.

[OOC: Room assignments are here, NSFW goes into private journals, yada yada.]

Well, you definitely won't starve this week, even if you never leave the hotel. Rowes Wharf Sea Grille offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner with both indoor and outdoor seating. Its afternoon tea is also extremely popular. You can also go for drinks and snacks at the Rowes Wharf Bar starting at 4pm. Or you can stay up in your room and order in.

Whether its the 60-foot lap pool, the Pelaton bikes and yoga classes you're all dying to try out, or the spa, the hotel has your fitness needs covered. The gym is open 24 hours, which is very helpful for you insomniac health nuts.

You're on your own to find restaurants and clubs and bars, but the school has set up an event a night if you'd rather stay with the group!

Historic makes it classy, okay.

Over 35 trucks offering specialties ranging from Korean to Summer Shack's seafood to hoagies all right in front of the hotel at Rowes Wharf Plaza. It happens every night, but the selection is biggest on Thursdays.

Tell us what you've found to do!

How is it already Thursday?!

Irene had spent the day relaxing at the spa -- please, she hadn't even needed to hear more than 'hike' before she'd decided that today's activity was not for her (and 'bus' would have only enforced as much.) But now that her skin and nails and hair were all soft and shiny and moisturized and mud-bathed and whatnot, she made her way back down to the bar.

That scotch and oysters happy hour thing was still great. Honestly, she could happily spend her whole holiday here in this hotel bar and probably be pretty content for it.

Despite the ball cap, Steve kept getting invited into photos with random people in bars all night. At least they were also paying for his drinks?

Liam wasn’t here for the beer so much as the history tour part.

Blame the fact that his non-human father had been the last of a race of space anthropologists. It was basically in his blood. Or energy pathways, anyway, since Ha’gel had been an energy being and didn’t actually have blood.

It was a pub crawl, of course Nick had to go. Was it really a vacation if you didn't make bad choices?

He'd still be uncreative and get beer everywhere.

Rosa had been working all week; this pub crawl was definitely 100% vacation Rosa, and you could tell because she was absolutely hitting her drinks like she was off the clock.

Her goal was to at least get drunk enough to start letting Boston know that it sucked, but at least it wasn't New Jersey.

Which was, like, by bar one.

There was a good chance that Shunsui had already been to most of these bars on his own personal pub crawl; his evenings in Boston were, at the moment, a bit fuzzy. But there was nothing wrong with a reprisal, especially when some of the cuter bartenders certainly looked familiar!

And it was, of course, his personal mission to ensure everyone out in Boston tonight drank more sake!

Amaya was never one to say no to a good old pub crawl, and the historic nature of it just meant the bars would likely be more like taverns she was used to rather than too many clubs and the like.

Though, really, if there was ale, she wasn't about to complain!

Better yet if there were meats-on-sticks!

Since Prompto was still ELEVEN DAYS short of being able to drink in this country (a fact that Gladio would be rubbing in all night), the chocobros decided, out of respect, to skip the pub crawl, but they figured they could do their own crawl of something they could all legally enjoy, and that was food.

"So," Gladio leaned into Prompto while Ignis was contemplating a menu board, "wanna put down a bet on how many new recipes he comes up with this time?"

The gym may have been 24 hours, but the pool, it seemed, was not, but that wasn't going to stop Astrid from squeezing in what she had left of the time available to just go and float around. It had been a busy week so far, and sometimes, it was just nice to...float for a bit.

It might have been wise to have dinner before the pub crawl, but Stark wasn't necessarily going to be drinking all that much. But he'd had a very good time the last time he'd gone barhopping and this seemed like an enjoyable way to pass a couple of hours.

Working in a bar meant Kitty probably didn't need a pub crawl, but the kid wasn't here so obviously this was a reason to go out.

Yep, they were those parents now.

Finally some 24 hours later Goose finally crashed and passed out on his bed without bothering to change. He was going to be out of it for a while.

Was this a terrible idea? Definitely. Was Clint going to do his best to make sure they stayed up to an adult hour and didn't crash at 9pm? Absolutely.

"Do you think they expect us to remember any of the history stuff, or can we just enjoy the beer?"

"Enjoy the beer, but I retain the right to give you a history quiz at like, bar four," Kitty teased.

Alara had done the cruise yesterday so she decided to take the opportunity to discover more of the city’s food offerings and she didn’t have far to go this time either.

"Not where I would have expected to find you," Stark said, walking over.
