If you are in town on Friday night, stop by the Beantown Pub to say hi. Nothing formal here, but why not stop by for a beer? Apparently this is the only place on the planet where you can enjoy a Sam Adams while looking at Sam Adams (he's buried across the street--you have to love the Boston history).It's also practically across the street from the Boston Common, so not a bad place to spend the evening...http://www.beantownpub.com/

Parking

If you are driving to the event, you have two parking options:

1. Self-parking across the street from the hotel at the New England Medical Center (NEMC) garage. On your way into the garage, tell them that you are going to the Marriott for an event. They should give you a parking ticket.
2. Valet parking at the hotel. Although this may sound ideal, we really only recommend it for people with mobility challenges. The valet at the hotel is a small operation and is not equipped to handle a large number of cars. You should expect a significant delay retrieving your car from the valet at the end of the evening, as they will quickly become overloaded.

In both cases, please take your parking ticket into the event. You can pick up a validation sticker for free parking from the bartenders (if you are visiting the bar tenders often, please do not drive home!!)

Parking validation is not available for people staying in the hotel overnight.

Public Transit

The hotel is near (less than 0.2 miles from) both the New England Medical Center (Orange line) and Boylston St (Green line) T stops.
