I have a new food crush: Oath Pizza.
It’s 2018 now, and it’s time for me to admit I have a problem. Oath is turning me into a pizza addict again. They opened in Davis Square sometime last year, one of several locations across Boston apparently, and it’s managed to be right at that sweet spot of price / convenience / quality where I just can’t resist it. I am not enough of … Continue reading I have a new food crush: Oath Pizza.

How to Move to Boston On Your Own
Recently I came across a young man looking for advice on moving to Boston without any family support. His situation wasn’t far off from my own when I moved here. 20 years old, wanting to move here for the startup scene, knew only one person (a student) in the city. Many of the others who replied to this young man talked about the challenges: the high cost … Continue reading How to Move to Boston On Your Own

Warming up to spring in Boston – 6 awesome things I’m looking forward to
It’s Marathon Day in Boston (a big deal if you’re not familiar with it; 30,000+ runners, 500,000+ spectators) and the weather is finally at peak niceness for the season. It’s always a little startling realizing how different things feel here when the weather’s nice. All these public spaces become open and active, people are going out more, ‘wandering around’ is a viable thing to do again. Just over the … Continue reading Warming up to spring in Boston – 6 awesome things I’m looking forward to

Visited the Sketchbook exhibit at the Nave Gallery Annex, and got a tiny piece of art.
Header photo via Nave Gallery. For the first time I checked out the Nave Gallery Annex, an art gallery space in Davis Square, just a few rooms in a house just behind Redbones. They’re showing their 2016 Sketchbook Show there until March 3rd. I rounded up some friends to take a look before grabbing drinks. We went on Saturday, the day after the opening reception, because I … Continue reading Visited the Sketchbook exhibit at the Nave Gallery Annex, and got a tiny piece of art.

Beaches accessible by commuter rail and the T
Unfortunately, if you don’t have a car, there are few beaches easily accessibly by public transport. By T (the subway): the easiest beaches in Boston to reach by T are Revere Beach, from the Wonderland stop on the Blue Line, and Carson Beach, from the JFK / UMass stop on the Red Line. Revere Beach is a very large beach, with a big stretch of covered … Continue reading Beaches accessible by commuter rail and the T

Back to Boston after Georgia.
After a two week visit home (north Georgia, and a bit of visiting family in Florida), it’s great to be back in Boston. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of things the south has that our area doesn’t: Waffle House (and other 24/7 diners). Sane drivers. Good barbecue. Yards. It’s interesting that Boston is very much a city of people who have chosen to live here. … Continue reading Back to Boston after Georgia.
