My favorite part about going out in Boston/Somerville/Cambridge is that there is ALWAYS some drunk transplant from like...Cleveland...who has the most absurdly out of touch, neighborhood-locked takes, because theyve only lived here for all of < 2 years, and have no car/have barely left their neighborhood ever.

"Its just so wild to me that theres literally nowhere in the Boston area that serves _______ food!"

Sir, what?

I mean in Cleveland you can get to Pittsburgh in 2 hours. Even on the T it often takes me 1.5 hours to get from green line to fields corner for Vietnamese food. Meanwhile we pass 4 bad Vietnamese places.

I don't think you'd tell that guy from Cleveland that they have good Vietnamese food if they had to travel to Pittsburgh to get it. It's a matter of time and perspective!

I love it when people who have clearly lived in an urban area for less than 5 years complain about the T. Do you not realize how good we have it?

*yes, I know compared to literally any other continent, the T is trash, but within the US, it's an easy top 5 system, probably top 3.
