 And if you want to give a tour of the Big Dig at the same time, try the No
 Name on Fish Pier in the "South Boston Waterfront" just past the World
 Trade Center on "Old" Northern Ave.

 No Name has great views of the harbor, fresh fish, and classic bad service
 (worse than Durgin Park). No veggies, though, at least not with the fish!
