Protest over national vs. regional chains, the never-ending debate over the place of cars and bicycles in our metropolises, professional sports scandals, remembering a solemn day, and being issued a search warrant - it all happened across our sites this week! Another banner week at Chicagoist started off with daily reports from food writer Lisa Shames on her attempt to eat only locally grown and raised foodstuffs all week as part of a farmers market...
If you're feeling particularly juicy today, head on down to City Hall Plaza between 10:30 - 2 PM for the 23rd Annual Massachusetts Tomato Festival. Local farmers will submit their best fruits to be judged by an elite panel of food writers, state officials, chefs, and various other tomato aficionados. The nutritious globules will be appraised on such criteria as color, flavor, slicing quality, and weight. The winning fruit(s) will receive awards at 12:30. The...
Londonist are starting to think their city is getting just a little bit too expensive, when even Christian Slater can't afford to go out there. And there's no escaping, as local singer Lily Allen discovered when she was barred entry to the US. The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth. But the smiles returned to Londonist's faces as they interviewed Baroness von Reichardt,...
Taza Chocolate's blog states that their mission is to educate and to seduce. This Bostonist aspires to educate herself into delicious obesity tomorrow evening, when these Somervillean chocolatiers hold their first "chocolate lounge" in Cambridge. Bostonist happened upon Taza's table at the Harvard farmers' market outside Memorial Hall yesterday, where we tried their chocolate-covered cacao nibs, and succumbed to an 8 oz. bag of whole cacao beans (roasted, if we heard correctly, in some...
At about 6 pm tonight, the Hi-Rise Bakery was finishing up its stand at the Central Square farmers' market when some punks walked by and stole way more than a loaf of bread.

So full that the woman attending the booth started sobbing on the spot. Bostonist...
The heat of the summer is fully upon us and the time has come for fruits and vegetables to come from local farms with a delicious freshness. Not everything has come into season here in Massachusetts, you'll still have to wait a while before the butter & sugar corn is ready to eat. Farmers' Markets have started up and are hawking everything from tomatoes to locally farmed Honey (and all those other things you don't expect to find at a farmers' market like textiles and ceramics.)
For those tomato fans out there that were appalled at the mealy, overpriced produce at the chain supermarkets this past winter, you can relax. The farmers' markets are now in full swing in the city and you can buy all the fresh produce, herbs, and baked goods your little cooking heart desires. Bostonist was able to hit up the Copley Square Farmers' Market last Friday, where eight stands had set up, selling everything from basil...
Somerville already has hipster hangouts, soaring home prices, and soon, the Green Line. So what's the next knot to tie in the scout kerchief of gentrification? Why a farmers' market of course! This Saturday, forced from our un-air-conditioned home by the sweltering heat, Bostonist stumbled upon the debut of this market, presented to the people of Somerville with much fanfare by Mayor Curtatone, Alderman Provost, and other city notables. In fairness, neighborhood evolution is inevitable,...
