This week finds (this) Bostonist on Cape Cod, trying to soak up a little sun while keeping Baby Bostonist (who is fast becoming Toddler Bostonist) from catching a wicked burn or wandering into the ocean. It is a lovely place, especially if, like us, one has the good fortune to have relatives with a house here. However, we would not recommend to anyone not already here that they attempt the trip this week or... more ›

One indisputable truth is that parking is a contentious issue in this town. (Last winter, Bostonist's car was keyed when we parked in a spot around the block from our house with no lawn chair in it (and this was after we graciously dug out three spots on our corner and reserved none of them!). Even commenting on parking has brought the wrath of other bloggers upon Bostonist's head.) Another truism is that whatever the city does, South Boston residents will not be happy about it.

Everyone has mornings, from time to time, when it is all we can do to line up the buttons on our shirt and get out the door. (This dreary morning was such an occasion in Bostonist's case, owing to Baby Bostonist's having been awake and crying all night with teething pains.) These are the mornings when breakfast and coffee are neglected at home and become imperative once we have reached the office. And it is at these times that Bostonist turns to the Hungry Traveler, a tiny beacon of low-brow breakfast salvation off Court Street downtown. more ›
