Those who keep a vegan diet will probably tell you that eating a healthy breakfast out can often be a challenge, especially when hoping to get something quickly. Breakfast in America is heavily focused on animal products and often the only options involve bacon, eggs, milk, or all three! Enter the chain of Bagel Rising and Espresso Royale cafes in Boston. These green-leaning, eco-friendly, and vegan-catering cafes are warm, inviting, and most importantly, delicious! While most mainstream coffee shops offer soy milk as an option (and charge up to $.60 extra!) that is where the vegan options usually end. BR/ER is, from our experience asking around, the ONLY cafe in town that offers tofu spread – they even have different flavors!! Their menu offer one fully vegan sandwich (the yummy Joy of Soy), and many others that can be made easily vegan (Chia Bagel minus the cheese). The also offer other vegan cookie and pastry options as well.

Ann Patchett, Wednesday, September 26, 6:00 pm, Coolidge Corner (via Brookline Booksmith) The author of Bel Canto situates her latest book in Boston, and the plot should seem awfully familiar - the head of a political family tries to perpetuate a political dynasty. A Boston mayor steps down and tries to drive two of his adopted sons into politics. In the span of one day, events unfold that might change those plans. Vincent Lam, Wednesday,...
In a lot of ways, managing a baseball team is remarkably easy, compared to coaching other sports. The action is fairly linear: there aren't 11 defensemen or five matchups to keep an eye on at once, and a lot of the actual "coaching" is farmed out to the coaches. Plus, there's the 100-year-old unwritten "book" that tells you how to do your job, and if you stick to the book, you have a defense against...
Now, Bostonist has said it before and we'll say it again: The implementation of the new Charlie Ticket system has been nothing but dumb. You might arrive in town by plane, go to the Airport stop, and be forced to purchase a Charlie Ticket, since tokens are not available there. But then when you want to go back to the airport after some glorious vacation time in Cambridge, your Charlie Ticket is worthless at Central Square. If that makes you angry, well, we feel your pain. But you must understand this: The lady who sells tokens at Central Square cannot help you. She was surely not consulted on the implementation of the Charlie Ticket system, and has likely been specifically instructed not to let angry Charlie Ticket holders in for free. There is no need to curse at her. And when the beleaguered-looking fellow behind you (this Bostonist), the one who is only getting on the T to go to work at 11:30 because he has spent the morning in the ER at Cambridge Hospital after falling off his bike on the way to work and tearing a muscle in his shoulder (hence the sling), gently suggests that you not blame the token lady for the T's dumb policy, don't curse at him too, or if you do, do so quickly, buy a token, and don't make him miss the goddamn train. Because then, all that stands between you and being throttled is that guy's inability to use his left arm.
Harvard sends lots of people to lots of important places. Recently we’ve been watching John Roberts on his path to the Supreme Court (and how Romney may eye that prize). But there's a bigger Harvard-related human interest item catching the attention of the “House”-watching public. Dr. David Foster left his relationship with Harvard Medical School, after being trained and then practiced in the system at Beth Israel, to go to Hollywood. From Harvard to Hollywood? We seem to remember this being the reverse trajectory. Don't get us started on Harvard Man.
The most watched contests last year (Yanks v. Sox, duh) resulted in a nearly 20% drop of the average volume in the ER during the game. Though they pointed to an increase during a game against the Yankees which most took for a guaranteed loss, viewers were few in numbers, Emergency Room traffic increased. After taking the obligatory course in statistics in college we’ve only applied that knowledge recently to poker hands. We can apply it here and draw the conclusion that though traffic is down during the games, there may not actually be fewer illnesses. The analysis done in this study shows a dip during key Red Sox games in ER traffic, perhaps at 10:45 p.m. when the last out is caught the ER fills up. So it could very well be all about waiting it out. As if 86 years of practice wasn’t enough…
On the corner of Brookline Ave and Landsdowne is Patrick Lyon's new multi-million dollar monolith. Game On! opened a couple weeks ago and Bostonist was there after spending the morning in the ER. The line was down the street, yet there were more employees inside than patrons. The first floor is a spacious and tasteful room with a large bar and restaurant feel. When you descend the stairs into the basement and pass the gift shop (?) sensory overload hits. There are over 90 plasma screen tv's and a huge bar.
