Vicarious Gourmet: Oysters Beantown August 5

The world's your oyster in Boston on August 5th: "Bristol Lounge at the Four Seasons Hotel, http://www.fourseasons.com, which will team with Pageo Pearls, offering $2 oysters, $10 glasses of champagne and the chance for tweeters (the first 20 to live tweet about the event) to win a 8.5mm freshwater pearl necklace!"

And if you don't like 4 Seasons, this page gives you the lowdown on all the places you can do oyster things on August 5. I am enjoying this vicarious gourmet thing. I simply comb things until I find the most delectable option and pass it on. Saves you time and makes me happy. I am actually a former Bostonian. I know these places. Once you get rid of your car or simply arrive at Back Bay on the train, you are in a very habitable pedestrian area, compact and scenic, with Copley-Pru stuff at one end and the Common and Beacon Hill on the other. Step lively. Enjoy. If you don't like oysters, I used to get great chicken wings at Copley Mall not far from Au Bon Pain.
