Pino's Pizza & The Half-Blood Prince

Hello Again,

This past week was an absolute whirlwind of activity. Highlights included a victory for the Undergraduate Admission Office Softball Team over University Advancement, the Stanley Cup visiting campus, and of course the midnight screening of Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince.

The softball game was played on our Brighton campus which has a tremendous amount of green space available to all students. It was certainly a high scoring affair with our team punching out a 24-13 victory. We're looking forward to our biggest game of the year coming against Boston University in the world famous "Beancan."

But if you couldn't tell from the title of this blog, my favorite part of this past week was undoubtedly going to the opening of the newest Harry Potter movie with a number of the staff in the city. As a group we grabbed a bite to eat at Roggie's, a favorite among BC students located in Cleveland Circle. We then hopped onto the D-Line of the MBTA and headed into the Fenway stop and waited in line at the Regal 13 at Landmark Center for about three hours before the movie actually started. The movie itself was fantastic and the company was just as entertaining.

As we grabbed a cab back to campus we spotted that another BC favorite, Pino's Pizza, was still open. Pino's is a staple of many BC students' diets. Their pizza is great (I personally recommend the sausage pizza) as well as great subs and dinners. I may or may not be on a first name basis with the delivery guy.

If you ever take the journey to Chestnut Hill and want to grab a slice of BC culture, I thoroughly recommend Roggie's, Pino's, and the rest of Cleveland Circle as fantastic spots to taste the local flavor. While the food here on campus is great, you can't let yourself pass up the great dining and culture options along Cleveland Circle. Until next time friends.
