barmuda triangle
n.— «For a more lively scene, head for McSeagull’s…on Pier 1 for the live music, pub-style atmosphere, and plenty of elbow room off-season. Come spring, two other bar/restaurants reopen on Pier 1—Hawks and Gray’s Wharf—and the “barmuda triangle,” as it’s called, becomes a center for nightlife.» —“Low Season Highs” by Kari Bodnarchuk Boston Globe (Masschusetts) Dec. 27, 2006.
