The density of people and tables seemed fine, and yet we had to lean across the table and yell at each other. Tory Row is worse. No Iruna any more either, of course, or Wursthaus, with its dark booths. Even the upscale places like Toscano and Henrietta's are not great for talking.<br /><br />Maybe this is all a plot by the Harvard administration to make it harder to hatch a conspiracy!Harry Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088418333536732728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116442395849122822.post-32299416023121417672014-08-30T06:50:54.743-07:002014-08-30T06:50:54.743-07:00Another sad aspect to the Dolphin's closing is...Another sad aspect to the Dolphin's closing is there remain few eateries near Harvard Square where the noise level permits easy conversation.Benjamin N.

The fish is good at Scotty's in Ludington, and at the Lake House in Muskegon, places I have hung out waiting for ferries. Try to find places like those in Boston.
