Shalom. Bienvenue. Hola. Hello.

Welcome to Sarah Almer and Avi Green’s wedding webpage.

Our wedding will be on Sunday, April 10^th, 2005, Rosh Chodesh Nisan 5765.

The huppah will be raised and the ceremony will begin at 2:00 p.m. at the Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston, located at 60 School Street. Both the ceremony and the reception will take place at the hotel’s rooftop ballroom.

Please check this Web site again for updates!

Parking at the Wedding

If you drive to the wedding ceremony and reception, parking is available around the corner from the hotel at the Pi Alley Parking Garage at 275 Washington Street. From the entrance of the hotel, proceed down School Street, turn left on Washington Street, and Pi Alley will be on your left. Pi Alley’s telephone number is 617-720-2006.

Getting There and Away

While ours will be a small wedding, Boston is a big town! We recommend that out-of-town guests avoid traffic, expense and hassle by leaving their cars at home. The most inexpensive flights into Boston we have found are on AirTran and USAirways, though you may find that another carrier works best for you. Once in Boston, the hotel is a few minutes ride in a taxi or on the MBTA. Known as the T, the MBTA is Boston’s quick, efficient, and wonderful subway, the oldest in the country.

From the airport, you can take the Blue Line on the T to Government Center. The Omni Parker House is just two short blocks up Tremont Street. For people coming from other parts of town, other very close T-stops include Park Street (go two blocks down Tremont from the stop) and Downtown Crossing (walk two blocks down Washington Street, and two blocks up School).

Getting Around Town

The MBTA is also a great tool for seeing the city and getting around while in Boston, and taxis are ubiquitous, convenient, and moderately priced. Boston is a dense city, with unfortunately few signs to help newcomers with the Byzantine layout of roads and tunnels, and parking is scarce and expensive.

Lodging

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Omni Parker House. Please call 1-800-THE-OMNI to reserve a room. There is also a good rate available for AAA members.

Other nearby, moderately priced hotels include the John Jeffries House, 617-367-1866, the Newbury Guest House, 617-436-7666, and the Harborside Inn, 888-723-7565.

Attractions

Boston is full of very old things (for the US). The Freedom Trail, a painted path connecting interesting places on America’s road to independence, runs right past the door of the Parker House. Other ideas:

• Go eat Italian food in the North End.
• Enjoy a slice of Avi and Sarah’s life at their favorite local Inman Square restaurant, the East Coast Grill in Cambridge. (Avi recommends the vegetarian platter!)
• If, for some strange twist of fate, it’s warm, go for a walk along the Charles River by the Esplanade, walk the Public Garden, or the Boston Common.
• For breakfast, we recommend Panifico, at 144 Charles Street in Beacon Hill.
• There is a lot more info on Boston at Boston.com’s Boston Visitor’s Guide.

Weather

April in Boston is unpredictable. Snow is not unusual, neither is rain, cold, or, for that matter, sun. Happy Bostonians usually remember to bring mittens, gloves, and hats, just in case. Average April temperature is 48 degrees Fahrenheit.

Registry

Avi and Sarah are registered at Bed Bath and Beyond, Macys and REI.
