Today, we have students from a sister program of SDM in Naval Postgraduate School
(NPS) visiting MIT today. The highlight of their visit was the clambake
at Summer Shack in Boston. Being that it was my first visit to Summer Shack,
I sampled the appetizers that were provided free by MIT and NPS. I
thought that the appetizers weren't too bad for my taste. However, the dinner entrant was another story. Instead of
Clambake (with steamed lobster) that most people had,
I went with the flounder with crab and shrimp stuffing, which found it
to be barely adequate. The dish wasn't fully cooked and the taste was a
little insipid. For better seafood in the Greater Boston area, try Legal Seafood, Naked Fish, or
East Coast Grill. Summer Shack gets a 6.5/10 rating from me.
After dinner, Dave, Ilana,
Rajeev, Jake, John, and I along with some representatives from NPS went
bowling at Kings, located next to Summer Shack. My first bowling game
was one of the worst I have ever played. Thankfully, I made a good
comeback by scoring over 100 in the second game. It was good to hang
out
with fellow classmates. Unfortunately, Matti and S, once again weren't
allowed into the bowling alley because the place serves alcohol and
both of them, being from Europe, don't have their IDs or passports with
them that would allow them to pass the bouncer. I am
sure he will have something harsh to say about this on his blog tomorrow.
