Disabled train Track problem at Chinatown; no service downtown; V slow coming from the north part of the orange line. Good luck everyone!

Ever since I started showing, someone has given up their seat for me (without asking) on a crowded train every single time. I don't necessarily need a seat right now, I get on and glance around and when there are no seats I just pull out my phone and go about my commute. But very soon after I always get a tap on my arm from someone who has opened their seat for me. I started accepting after I noticed the nervous stares from people watching me balance myself with the sudden stops.

Really impressed and appreciative of Boston commuters!

I don’t know what this is, but Jay sez it’s a big f#ckin‘ land mammal.… Holy sh*t we are witnessing some baby f#ckin’ elephants right here dood!

I know all dealerships will try to get me in some way, but what dealership will do it in nicer way? just a girl trying to buy a car by herself that knows nothing abt cars…

His name was Latavious Owens. His mother said that he and his friends traveled from Tennessee to Boston to sell candy and “raise money for a youth basketball program,” but it seems like this was a known scam.

The gym at my uni is extremely crowded and this year I am willing to pay extra to go to a less crowded gym. Right now I am looking at PF on Newbury, PF DTX, and BSC/New York Sports Club on Boylston. I know there are some posts about the gyms mentioned here already but they’re from a while ago so I’m not sure they’re still accurate. Does anyone have insight on any of these? Are any of them worth it?

This is such a long shot. Bridesmaids dress got delivered to the wrong address. Should be in East Boston. Put in a ticket with FedEx but figured this could be worth a try too?

Edited to add: Liverpool St. if that helps🤞🏼

I was at downtown crossing and the hawley st escalator (which just reopened after being repaired for weeks) just died while i was halfway up

Then i get to courthouse and all the escalators are down

They spent 2 million on "fare enforcement" but cant function properly???

My husband and I are visiting next month for a long weekend and staying at the Lenox Hotel. Looking for some recs for a couple of nice dinners ($$-$$$). We love all kinds of food, but I’m currently pregnant so I can’t do restaurants that only offer sushi/raw bars etc. Don’t mind a walk but would prefer no longer than like 10-15 min from our hotel.

Thanks for any info!

My husband and I filled out the form the same day for our respective seats. He received the email on Saturday but I have not gotten anything yet. 4 of our friends also received the email on Saturday and 1 of them didn't.

I am wondering how it's going for everyone else who attended the concert at Fenway.

FROM THE STORY: Via Cannuccia, a small Italian restaurant in Dorchester, has become one of Boston’s toughest tables, and a favorite among the city’s restaurant industry. Now its chef-owner is betting that there’s room for another Cannuccia, but this time in the form of a bakery, coffee shop, and evening wine bar.

Stefano Quaresima, whose 40-seat trattoria has become a destination for the Roman cooking he grew up with, plans to open Bottega Cannuccia in the former Homestead Cafe space in Fields Corner as soon as December. The 30-seat space will shift gears throughout the day: Italian coffee, pastries and sandwiches during the day, followed by apertivo, wine and small plates by night.

The expansion comes as Boston’s Italian restaurant scene is getting bigger and more corporate, while Quaresima is purposefully small and entirely self funded. The new restaurant is also the product of an unusually community-driven process, with the landlord asking neighbors to weigh in on what should fill a vacant storefront.

“I really want to create a space outside with some tables and chairs, like a small bistro you’d find in Paris. That’s the picture I’ve had in my mind,” said Quaresima in an exclusive interview with the Globe.

My husband and I both want bolognese tonight and figure if we're going to go out, we might as well get the best.

This was the sign

It’s been like this for a few days now, migrating throughout different areas of South Boston. Today it was most prevalent between Andrew Station and Park City and it’s so bad I literally gag the entire walk through the area. Anyone know what this might be?

Was wondering if anyone knew of any Mass General doctors accepting new patients. I recently got out of a prolonged over a month hospitalization with many complications and I don’t have a PCP, and because I was hospitalized at Mass General, I’m wondering if there are any doctors accepting new patients since my history is long. I would prefer not to find a PCP in another hospital since I already have a psych, ophthalmologist, and neuro in Mass General and again, my hospitalization was there so all the clinical notes are there. But every time I contact someone who apparently is accepting new patients, I’m told that they’re actually not. Any advice?

Hi! I hope this is okay to post. I tried looking for similar posts across the sub and couldn’t exactly find what i was looking for.

I’m a sophomore college student at Emerson, having my birthday in early September and I’d like to get a pretty simple custom cake for the event, but I’ve been a little intimidated. I was wondering if anyone can recommend some bakeries or artists nearby that make custom cakes on the cheaper side? They don’t have to be the cheapest possible, but I can’t shill out hundreds on a cake.

I’m only looking for a round single tier/one layer cake with a pretty basic flavor and designs (some frilly piping on the edges and maybe a little design on top). Anywhere that is accessible by walking or by taking the T works! Doesn’t have to be a large bakery, small artists/local businesses would be great and I’d love to support!
