Reply to Best yoga/gym for beginner? by dancingdivadrink
Most yoga studios have new student specials where you get unlimited classes for a set price (ie one month for $50) so you can try different classes and see whether you like the studio.
Some good options are Boston Yoga Union, Artemis Yoga in Watertown, and Down Under Yoga, which has several locations. All have classes at various levels.

MGH has discounts for Charlie Cards, ZipCar, and rental cars. Maybe Blue Bikes now too. Your workplace will most likely have discounts as well.

Aside from very few places, there are no requirements. You can check the place’s website if unsure.

Reply to thoughts on fisher college? by [deleted]
I have lived here for years and this is the first I’ve heard of Fisher. I have heard of Emmanuel and know people who have grad degrees from Lesley.
Don’t go to any school just to move to the area, especially an expensive area. That is a waste of time and money. Look into community colleges or state schools in NC and then transfer.

It was a major, nationwide campaign that lasted until 1997. Some areas may not have seen them if there were no Dunkins around, though.

Dr. Rachel Haft and Dr. Nancy Akbari are both excellent, as is their nurse practitioner. Affiliated with Mount Auburn Hospital and have an office on the Cambridge/Watertown border.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Good places to find leases to take over? by [deleted]
A lot of students who graduate in May look for someone to sublet for the summer, with the option to renew in Sept. plus anyone else looking to get out if their lease will have a renew option.

You have to have a unique mailbox, otherwise you end up with images of everyone’s mail.

I second Cleveland Circle. Easy to walk to the college, and the B line is an option when weather is bad. In addition to the Green line to Boston, the 86 bus stops there and gives a more direct route to Cambridge.

Is the route itself on a Sunday schedule or are you just hearing an announcement? Some buses had that announcement last week even though they were running their regular schedule.

This occasionally happens, usually when there have been major delays and a bunch of trains are waiting to move.

Reply to comment by Ilikereddit15 in Cost to skate at the Frog Pond by Ilikereddit15
The Frog Pond is managed by the Skating Club of Boston, which may be the ones also setting the prices. Anyone wanting to use it on a regular basis is better off buying a cheap pair of skates.

Reply to comment by gilgagorgon in Dance classes in Boston? by [deleted]
The Dance Complex changes it schedule fairly often and has so many dance styles. She should check the schedule to see what has been added. Boston has an active dance scene comprised of different communities, so she should try out a few. Tango, flamenco, swing, etc. Also Urbanity Dance Studio, Afrobeats Dance Boston.

Dance Complex has a wide variety of classes, which type did she take that were ‘stuffy’? There’s Moves & Vibes Dance in Cambridge for zouk, bachata, kizomba. Rumba y Timbal, which I think does have some salsa classes at Dance Complex, many other studios out there depending on what she is looking for exactly.

Using Zipcar, Uber/Lyft/taxi, grocery delivery will all be cheaper than a car. Not sure where you want to go, but the commuter rail gives you access to lots of places outside the city. Just takes a bit more planning than having a car, but very possible.

Reply to Brighton without a car by ld2186
Yes, it is very possible. I lived in Brighton for years without a car. Get to know the bus routes as they can be more direct, depending on where you are going.

Reply to comment by Any_War_8644 in Looking for a kitten by [deleted]
The shelters I know will only adopt out a single kitten if another cat is in the house. Perhaps let them know you have dogs already? Maybe knowing other animals are there will make a difference.
This isn’t kitten season, so there will be fewer available. A young, adult cat is another option.

Reply to comment by silliest_goose- in Lyft to and from Logan question by DatBoi247
It depends on the time. Drivers are allowed to drop off at the terminal for early morning flights. I also think some drivers just drop everyone at the rideshare spot.
