Five Guys, a national burger chain beloved by many, will be opening locations in Massachusetts this summer. The new stores will be in Dedham, Needham, and Swampscott. No word on a Boston location. All burgers will be appropriately delicious: a company spokesman says "We don't pretend to be healthy." Yum.

Each week Bostonist pursues your happiness by bringing you the best Boston-based viral videos YouTube has to offer.

The Brookline location is small, with only a handful of tables, so service is quick. Hot and fresh tortilla chips and a bright salsa verde are brought out for free as you peruse the menu. There are tons of choices, so it might take you a while to make a decision.

--Not every day is a crimefighting day, at least not in Methuen last week. A sergeant for the Methuen PD was on duty - while watching the Patriots play a preseason game on TV. One could argue that it was fine if nothing was happening, but other officers joined him, and only two officers were left on duty. They must have been rookies. The scene could have come right out of Super Troopers - the...

With unseasonable weather descending upon much of North America, schools getting ready to reconvene, and sports seasons getting exciting, it's a busy time of year for us here in the Ist-A-Verse. Luckily, even with all the things we have to do, we still managed to get together to let you know what we've all been up to. After cooling down from a hot weekend of many badass Sunset Junction Street Fair photo dispatches, LAist asked...

When you're a kid, one of the fringe benefits to playing Little League or soccer is that you often got to stop at McDonald's on the way home. Win or lose. We're not sure if Major League teams have a similar policy, but if the Red Sox team bus stopped at a Mickey's outside of Detroit, no one on the team would be allowed to supersize today, after a miserable weekend getting swept by the...

With the sun out, the temperatures high, one can only think of one thing-- what's going on in the World of the -ist's? Bostonist dug deep to uncover Barack Obama's unpaid parking tickets, their Governor's latest ethical lapse, and a plagarizing sports writer. Chicagoist had everything in twos: two views on having the Olympics, losing two members of their Super Bowl team, and two music festivals. DCist put their noses in legal books as...

Austinist gets arty with an interactive guide to SXSW, loved some local art galleries and a new art exhibit and lamented the possible loss of "Friday Night Lights" production to New Mexico. Bostonist was happy they finally found an Anna Nicole Smith connection to their fair city and that an Apple Store was opening up. They were less happy that new rules have been established limiting underage shows and that their Governor is spending...

Even though we are way way past school age, we still get a little melancholy at the close of summer. Fortunately, our friends across the -ist network know that the shenanigans don't need to end just because the big yellow buses are back on the roads. So, grab your sunscreen and your favorite hangover cure, as we take a tour of end of summer fun from -ist cities all over the damn place.

For years, Spike's Junkyard Dogs has been serving up some of the best hot dogs and grilled chicken sandwiches in Allston (and apparently in many locations in Rhode Island, too). Bostonist is excited to share that recently, David Drake's "highly successful" fast food business (named after his bulldog, Spike), has opened another location on the corner of Mass Ave and Boylston (also, soon to come to Davis Square), in the space that used to house...

SFist commeters pose for before and aftershocks when the mayor commemorates a 1906 earthquake...at 4:30 in the morning. A hot tip on the Chronicle vending machines comes in and the SFist war correspondent risks life and limb to post this dispatch from the frontlines.

Ever have one of those raging hangovers where all your body craves (besides hydration, Advil, and a promise to never drink again) is greasy food? Well, Bostonist found themselves in this predicament on Sunday afternoon and decided to head down to Eagles Deli in Brighton’s Cleveland Circle. For any Boston College student or alum, you’re probably familiar with this deli/fast food joint where you can get anything your hungover heart desires. It was ranked “The Second Best Place in the World to Pig Out” by the Travel Channel a few years ago and that pretty much sums up Eagles.

Those of you who are worried about your girlish figures but want to eat french fries and the like need to head over to b.good, the Back Bay restaurant with the tagline: "real.food.fast." Located on Dartmouth Street right past the Back Bay station, b.Good is fast food for the calorie-conscious, and is one of Bostonist's favorite lunchtime spots. All of the menu items are up on a board, which lists the nutritional value of everything. While the idea of fat grams listed next to an order of fries doesn't sound too appealing, the information isn't too scary since all food is basically healthy. (Those french fries, by the way, are baked and only have four grams of fat.) You can have your burger (lean 93% ground beef, turkey or veggie), fries, and shake (made with non-fat frozen-yogurt and skim milk) and not feel like an elephant as you stumble your way back to your cubicle for the afternoon.

It looks like Bostonians have been celebrating the Sox win with too many Fenway Franks this past year...According to Men's Fitness Magazine's annual "25 Fittest Cities" survey, Boston dropped from #7 to #11. Okay, so it wasn't a huge drop but the mag points out that we spend lots of time in traffic and complaining about finding a gym to use. On the bright side, Bostonians have clean air and few fast food joints to temp us. So, let's work on this kids and crack the top ten again in 2005. At least we beat out our friend, Gothamist and its beloved New York City, who ranked #8 in the "25 Fattest Cities" survey.
