Answer 1 :
Legal Seafood is best waitressing job in boston. The place is tremendously busy as both a local favorite and a must see tourist stop so the potential of making a lot of money is there. You must be good in a rushing crowd.
Answer 2 :
I worked at Stephanie's On Newbury for a couple summers (well year round) and it is an AWESOME place to be in the summer. Always packed and they have a huge patio which is prime people watching, so it s a major hot spot. The wait to sit outside can get to over two hours and people will wait. The menu is a bit pricier, which is good for a server, b/c you make more money. And there is an automatic gratuity on all patio tables, so you are guaranteed to make some cash. Its a fun place to work and it has a more upscale clientele than Legal Seafood, which is filled with tourists all the time that dont have a clue.
Answer 3 :
I would agree that a place like Stephanies would be better than Legal Seafood. Or check out the other places on Newbury Street. A good option would be to work in a pub, too. Shorter shifts with more money b/c of the drinks being served. Stay away from tourist traps where people don't understand the rules about tipping. Or go out of Boston to Martha's Vinyard or Cape Cod.
