Hungry academics seeking good food & value tonight (walk from Copley)

[globalevent]

hello Boston hounds,

Seeking your help:

We're 10 hungry academics looking for a casual place with good, hearty food and prices that grad students and profs can afford within walking distance of Copley Sq.

Ideally something with a Boston accent (like seafood) but not necessary.

Your thoughts?

I second Coda. Just had a great meal there.

Coda on Columbus Ave. is the closest place to meet your needs.

For during the conference, i.e., lunch, you might check out Legal Seafood, an originally Boston franchise. There's a branch in the Copley mall itself. Seafood's not cheap, but this place is moderately priced within the category. Excellent chowder, at least 2 types.

Also a bit of a walk but a nice walk and it's a nice day: Silvertone. http://www.silvertonedowntown.com/ Although the Chinatown rec is a good one, Peach Farm in Chinatown is also good for seafood.

I've heard great review for the Corner Tavern. On the corner of Marlborough St and Mass. Ave I believe. If you do a search you'll get more info.

Its a bit of a walk, but head over to Chinatown.. Shabu Zen is pretty casual and fun - sort of an Asian fondue experience. There are several good places with a seafood flair - East Ocen City is my favorite, but there are some other contenders as well. Not exactly a Boston accent, though..
