The Venues Rated 1 (worst) through 10 (best)
Your first is always the best and who
could forget the Pyramid and the Pinch.
Buddy’s office and great Italian food on Federal Hill, not too shabby.
Nothing going in a city that closes at 5 PM.
The trip also wins the award for worst meal.
No one knew the games were in town except for the parking garages, who jacked up parking rates to $30. This trip was so forgettable that there are only a few pictures.

Trip to Mecca (Jack Daniel’s) and Second Ave
