Folks, let’s talk cupcakes. Previously, Stuff to Eat in the Suburbs has sung the praises of the baked goods at Susu in Wellesley. While Susu is still one of our favorite bakeries, this Bostonist has to admit that there is another superb suburb cupcake destination. Bread and Chocolate is located at 108 Madison Avenue in Newtonville right across the street from Taste coffee shop. They are a cute little shop with floor to ceiling windows that let in plenty of light, giving the place a bright and cheery atmosphere. Bread and Chocolate serves sweets galore as well as a range of coffees, regular beverages, pre-packed goodies and a smattering of lunch fare. For example, the pesto chicken salad served on a buttery croissant is a delightfully light sandwich with a perfectly subtle flavor.

-- John Connolly, the former FBI agent who worked in cahoots with legendary Boston gangster Whitey Bulger, is now a convicted murderer. A jury in Miami convicted Connolly of second-degree murder for his role in the 1982 killing of World Jai-Alai president and would-be snitch John Callahan. Hit man John Martoarano, who fired the shot that killed Callahan, had testified that it was Connolly's tip that sent him on his fatal mission. [Herald]
