Check out the St. Vincent Ambulatory Care clinic on Grove agree (Northworks building) if you don’t mind seeing a resident along with the PCP.

Deadhorse Hill. Hands down.

Depends on style, but for classic pizza-joint but excellent: Vincent’s Pizza inside St. V’s

I went today after work. This was exactly what I was looking for, and the location is convenient for me. Thanks again!

Awesome, thanks for the heads up!

I third El Patron. The queso is out of this world. And they double down on the dairy and put shredded cheese too.

Chasu if you like ramen and Japanese inspired small plates. They have some really great mocktails too! I would second Deadhorse Hill.

Did you end up finding something and getting enough to go see your mom?

Same, man.

Westboro Korean is excellent. 10/10 recommend.

Check out Not Ya Mama’s Vegan Cafe

I’m going to second this - I grew up in New England, but have lived outside of it for education over the years and I feel the same way. New Englanders aren’t overtly rude, we’re polite (maybe cordial would be a better word), but we’re not about to get into your business if we don’t know you. I read a really great piece once in the Boston Globe by someone who’d moved to Boston from the South. She had a bad breakup and was ugly crying on the T (local train) on the way home. People obviously noticed, but no one asked her what was wrong. Initially she was very put off by this, but the more she thought about it, the more she realized that it was exactly what she needed in that moment: her privacy. That’s what we respect in New England - each other’s privacy.

Happy Cake Day!
