Boston knowledge needed

[1TruPatriot]

I am attending the National Down syndrome Conference in Boston July 11-13. A HUGE group of us (like 100 people) had planned a dinner gathering, but we had too big a group. The hotel charges WAY too much for us to rent their conf room, plus wont let us bring food in- we wanted pizzas. We have tried several ideas, to no avail. Is there ANYTHING anyone knows of nearby that we could rent cheaply and bring pizzas in? The hotel for the conf is the seaport, it would need to be nearby as most of us are walking with small kids. Anyone know of ANY restaurant or other place?

Eek. Though I frequent Boston (I only like 45 minutes away on the commuter rail line), I'm not sure of any place that would work for such a large group. Have you asked the people at the hotel for any suggestions? Even if you're not using their conference room, they might be able to offer some advice.
