OLD TOWN ROUTE: HOW TO HIKE DOWN THE MIDDLE OF 128 (AND LIVE TO TELL ABOUT IT)

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted January 28, 2020 Filed Under: FEATURES, GTFO, LIFESTYLE, Non-fiction

That section is a continuation of the road ... but on the other side of the highway—and it can’t be accessed unless a) you have wings, or b) you have a death wish and think it would be fun running across the highway.

KRISTIN’S, BRAINTREE: A BREAKFAST SPOT FOR PEOPLE WITH A (VERY) SWEET TOOTH

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted October 9, 2019 Filed Under: Eats, GTFO, LIFESTYLE

The slightly quieter Braintree Square a short distance to the north is where you’ll find Kristin’s, and it often has much longer lines than the other places in town.

FIRST LOOK: BATES BAR & GRILL

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted August 25, 2018 Filed Under: Drinks, Eats, GTFO, LIFESTYLE

Setups such as these also tend to indicate that dining might be taking a backseat to drinking, but this spot does seem to put a little more emphasis on food, so the atmosphere leans just a touch more toward subdued than rowdy.

CITY OF PRESIDENTS APA: WIDOWMAKER POURS A CLASSIC IN COLLABORATION WITH QUINCY, FOUNDING FATHERS

Written by DIG STAFF Posted August 21, 2018 Filed Under: Better Boston Beer Bureau, Honest Pint, LIFESTYLE

In its words, the brewer brands this pale ale as “a complex, easy-drinking all-American craft beer.” On one hand, that description sells it short, since there are several nuanced notes to be appreciated; at the same time, it’s accurate, since it really has cleverly twisted some classic ideas.

THROWBACK: IS HOMELESSNESS WORSE IN BOSTON NOW THAN IT WAS A CENTURY AGO?

Written by PETER ROBERGE Posted August 1, 2018 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Dirty Old Boston

Boston’s most infamous homeless shelter was established only a few years later, in 1915, under Mayor James Michael Curley, who was as well known for his corruption as he was for being a friend, however superficially, to the downtrodden.
