They're decent. Which means a million times better than Comcast or Verizon.

Reply to Best yoga/gym for beginner? by dancingdivadrink

Boston Yoga Union has Yoga 101 classes, but really you can go to any class, all instructors urge you to do as much as you can but no more. Don't worry about being flexible or not. You can pay per class, purchase class cards, or get monthly memberships. No BS like in health clubs about ending memberships. Great instructors, huge schedule of diverse classes, and truly nice people.

This is the answer. Banh mi is still reasonable in most Vietnamese places. Also delicious.

When I visit my friends in NYC, I always bring salmon bacon from Boston Smoked Fish in the Public Market. They love anything from Flour Bakery too.

I miss the original Piccolo Venezia. There's really been no place like it since they moved from Salem St. I like Locale for pizza. Neptune is still amazing but only if you're in the mood to wait in line. These days I go more for shopping, believe it or not. It's one of the few neighborhoods that have independently-owned shops like Shake the Tree, Loft + Vine, the hat store that I forgot the name of, is the vintage shop on Salem St still open? And there's a really nice bookstore.

The person I knew got the job after 4 interviews, and lasted 3 months.

I've heard the same. I know someone who works there now and it is MUCH better.

Take the Orange Line to Wellington Center. Take the free shuttle to Encore casino. Cross the little pedestrian bridge into the mall where the Costco resides.
