Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) (April 2009) -- Jerry Remy's Sports Bar & Grill opened at Boston's Logan Airport late fall 2008. It is located in Terminal C, pre-security, in the Departure Level Food Court. Enjoy classic New England fare offered up by this Hall of Famer and President of Red Sox Nation. The restaurant has room for 115 diners, and its menu includes soups, salads, sandwiches, and comfort food, with the macaroni and cheese being the signature dish. The restaurant also features beer, wine and full bar, and has a bar you can sit at as well. TV's are everywhere, so it should be easy to watch sports (as long as it is a Boston team that you are interested in ;-) ) Watch a nice video interview in the restaurant with Jerry Remy himself at NECN.com (http://www.necn.com/category/38/22389). Some of the food is shown, and the mac and cheese and the hot dog do look fantastic! A second location is in the works near Fenway Park.

According to the Boston Globe, Jerry Remy himself will be addressing fans at his restaurant to inform them of what is in store this season for the Red Sox on April 17, 2009 from noon to 2 pm. There will also be a singing contest with prizes. Read the full story at the Boston Globe. (http://www.boston.com/ae/events/articles/2009/04/07/a_whole_new_ballgame/)
