Boston Walking Meetup Group

FYI: this event is full and closed for additional RSVPs.

Let's meet for Dim sum at Hei le moon Restaurant in Chinatown.

Hei La Moon restaurant is conveniently located in Chinatown in the heart of Downtown Boston and is near the Orange and Red Line subway and a few blocks away from South Station. 83 Essex St. Boston.

Afterwards, we will start our walk in Chinatown and then head towards the waterfront for a Boston harbor walk (or Copley square area ) for about a 2-3 mile walk. The walking part is optional and weather dependent.

For the Restaurant meal, figure about up to, or around $20-30 per person, (depending on what is ordered).

Please bring small bills to make for easy change, if possible.

We will meet at the entrance of the restaurant at 10:45 am. Please be prompt.

Note; before we get seated and start ordering, we’ll have someone go around and check people’s names to verify that they have the $$. This is to make it fair and to avoid difficulties with payment at the end(as this is a shared tab). Or you can order off the menu; that would be your responsibility.

Guide to Dim Sum: For those new to dim sum (or need a refresher) check out this web link from serious eats; http://www.seriouseats.com/2011/04/guide-to-dim-sum-dumplings-siu-mai-bao-chinese-steamed-buns.html

Based on group feedback, the intent is to have more of a balance of men to woman ratio for this event. In order to achieve this, priority will be given for members moved up to the RSVP from the wait list. I trust a good mix will ensure everybody will have more fun.

PLEASE DO NOT DISCUSS POLITICS as we have members with all kinds of strong opinions - this is not the place for that. Be courteous to everyone and the Organizers who take the effort to list events.
