Our Five Year Anniversary Party
Special Shoutouts
Bob Savino
Nose-y Neighbor
We've always been there for Bob and Bob has always been there for us. We baked him a cake when he tore his ACL, Aurora bought him a 6-pack after she broke his nose... come to think of it, Bob hasn't really done that much for us. But Bob has put up with the most of our sh*t and still hangs out with us.
Alex Papanastassiou
Papa Neighbor
No matter the season Alex will always find an excuse to take his shirt off... "It's too hot in here" "I spilt something on my shirt" During our first Friendsgiving, Alex cut the turkey and since then he's become a weird "father" figure for us. Which is ironic because he's a terrible influence. With his love of EDM music and positive vibes, he's always the life of the party.
Mo Quinn
Mama "Neighbor"
We don't know how Mo has dealt with the boys upstairs, but she's done a great job at it. She was always the one to get excited for our over-the-top party ideas and would help us decorate the boys' apartment to match the party themes. She would get the boys to help us shovel snow when we were out there struggling (thank you!!). To this day, Mo makes sure that the boys (especially Alex) show up to our Friendsgiving. Literally the only one from the Radnor crew to actually fill out the Doodle to hangout- you the real MVP!
Nick Papanastassiou
The Responsible Neighbor
The most reliable of the upstairs crew. Nick was the last one to laugh at us when we'd blown the fuse on move-in day and thought the whole apartment lost power. Like his twin brother, he can often be found roaming the grounds shirtless. Props to him for allowing so many people to trudge through his bedroom to enjoy their bomb ass 2nd floor deck.
John Avino
Illegal Neighbor
We met John when he illegally moved in upstairs and became our 4th neighbor. We bonded quickly with John, as he was always down to hangout or help us out. Our first Friendsgiving, John majorly disappointed Lauren when he didn't show up with the black olives. However, he redeemed himself the next year when he brought some bomb mac and cheese. Although his living conditions were always questionable, John will always be welcome in our home.
Nadine & Sam Zephir
The "OG" Roomies
Who knew roommatefinder.com could bring two people together in such a positive way. The day Lauren and Nadine moved in together happened to be Halloween night and they immediately bonded over binge drinking, their love of the Harp, and drunkenly eating pizza at 1am. Sam (aka "Fun Sam") soon became the original 3rd roommate. He learned to love (or at least tolerate) hearing about Lauren’s latest dating adventures while watching her eat insane amounts of Domino’s pizza. Luckily, Lauren didn’t scare either of them away because once Aurora took a job a DTCC they were really stuck with us. Nadine and Sam can always be counted on to show up, whether it be a house party, a blackout birthday or this very special 5 year anniversary party ( LOL we hope).
Freddy Dabaghi & Cori Finnegan
Foster "Roomies"
With Sam living in Connecticut and Aurora living at her parents' house in Wayland, both ladies realized they needed a place to crash for their weekend adventures in Boston. Luckily, their good friends Cori and Freddy “agreed” to take them in from time to time, thus making them honorary members of Bestnut Chestnut. With Cori’s strict house rules and Freddy’s total lack of rules, Aurora and Sam were able to see first hand how best to run a household... aka, learn how to throw a killer party and learn how to mop a floor (Aurora). It was Bestnut Chestnut where Lauren met Aurora and the three roomies partied together for the first time. Freddy and Cori were thrilled when we hit it off and decided to live together (finally leaving them in peace).
