"Some of them who used to live here or heard about it from friends or the internet come from other parts of the U.S. when they're on their family vacation.

In principle, incumbents do have the opportunity to optimize their network to their own needs and subscriber usage patterns, which should grant them a considerable cost saving advantage over wholesale if they decided to fully leverage it.So I would not be so quick to conclude that wholesale end-users cost incumbents less (infrastructure-wise) than retail subscribers. After all, accommodating wholesale services does require extra equipment and network configurations that incumbents would not otherwise need for themselves.
The IISPs also have an advantage of not having such large companies with massive overhead that has to be taken into consideration with pricing of the products.

Event to cover mental side of startupsCLU offers free public workshop for entrepreneurs
Posted: Tuesday, February 25, 2014 09:04 am PST
Brandon Highland, an entrepreneur who provides consulting and support for the startup community in Ventura County, will discuss mental health as it relates to entrepreneurship.
(THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Feb. 25, 2014) California Lutheran University is offering a free public workshop to help entrepreneurs deal with the psychological issues that come with launching new businesses.
"The Equipped Mind" will be held from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Sunday, March 9, in Lundring Events Center on CLU's Thousand Oaks campus.
Starting a business can cause significant stress, and entrepreneurs often keep feelings of anxiety and despair hidden from view. There is a high risk of failure and a lot of tasks to juggle. Consumed by work, they often make sacrifices in areas such as exercise, sleep, diet, hobbies and time with family and friends that can impair their ability to cope. Research also shows that many entrepreneurs share character traits that make them more vulnerable to mood swings.
Brandon Highland, an entrepreneur who provides consulting and support for the startup community in Ventura County, will discuss mental health as it relates to entrepreneurship. Highland graduated from CLU in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in philosophy.
Nelson Pizarro, an assistant professor of entrepreneurship at CLU, will teach meditation techniques. Pizarro, who has founded six companies, meditates and practices yoga.
The presenters will provide insights into the entrepreneurial mind and tools for overcoming the mental challenges of starting and running a business. Topics will include stress management, concentration, healing, inner strength and the power of laughing.
CLU's School of Management is sponsoring the event with assistance from CLU clubs Future Treps, which supports students' entrepreneurial efforts, and Active Minds, which encourages students to speak openly about mental health.
Attendance is limited to 40 people. To RSVP, go to www.equippedmind.com. For more information, contact Future Treps President Rob Bueschen at firstname.lastname@example.com.

More than 2,000 communities are committing to rally their neighborhoods to celebrate Small Business Saturday this holiday season.
Retailers are assertively preparing their shipping operations to avoid delivery and service issues this year, according to Shop.org's eHoliday survey, conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics, which found that nearly 80% of retailers surveyed will set their standard shipping deadlines for guaranteed Christmas delivery to expire at least one week before the big day, compared to just over 73% who said so last holiday season. Additionally, roughly 21% will set those deadlines to expire Dec.
Thirty percent, or 9 million, of 2010 U.S. census takers indicated mixed-raced heritage—up from 6.8 million in 2000; and more specifically, 16% indicated Hispanic and 13% indicated Black. Subsequently, the multicultural beauty products market continues to outpace the growth of the overall market for cosmetics and toiletries, posting a 3.7% increase in 2014, within an estimated $400 billion global beauty industry.
'Tis the season soon. Are you getting ready? Sure, there's Thanksgiving Nov. 27, Black Friday Nov. 28 and Cyber Monday Dec. 1. And, of course, Christmas Eve Dec. 24. However, did you know about the following upcoming dates for the 2014 holiday shopping season?

2011 RAM3500 Laramie diesel 6,7L dually with H&S Mini Maxx race tuner: Install was a breeze after wrestling the OEM exhaust off the truck. After all emmissions deletes were done, range improved by ~160 miles, and MPG went from 12-15 to 17-25. Power delivery is much snappier and I can't believe how hard the engine was working before opening up the exhaust. Turbo whistle is much more pronounced now, but my favorite part is that the truck is barely louder than from the factory and no drone!

I first installed one of those "Dual" exhaust mufflers on my Jeep. It sounded like a Honda Civic and had no power increase. Took it off the next day. After doing better research and listing to sound clips I decided on this exhaust. This is the best improvement I've made on the Jeep. It sounds great and best of all the power increase is fantastic. In combination with the aFe air intake system I bet it added 15hp. Don't get me wrong, this exhaust is not too loud, it perfect. Install was simple.

Supervisors to address Lower Mt. Bethel's feral cat problem
Updated On: Nov 19 2013 05:44:17 AM CST
In an effort to control the ever-growing feral cat population in its municipality, the Lower Mount Bethel Township Board of Supervisors Monday night discussed hiring an animal control officer to get a handle on the situation.
Supervisor Kathy Davis stated, "We have a major cat problem in this township," and advised discussion and investigation among the supervisors.
She relayed a recent story concerning a township resident who spent over $3,000 of her own money to rescue approximately 30 abandoned felines from a foreclosed local property.
It was also discovered some of cats were unsterilized, which would eventually only add to a rise in the local feral cat population.
The Board discussed at length a number of variables and expenses associated with implementing an animal control officer/program including whether the individual would become a township employee or serve as an independent contractor.
Additionally, the supervisors considered insurance liability, transportation, veterinarian, and shelter expenses.
The Supervisors agreed to investigate the matter in much greater detail and placed it on their December meeting agenda.
In other business, the Board reviewed a multiple page landscaping plan forwarded by the township's planning commission from ConAgra Foods of Martin's Creek.
According to Supervisor Susan Disidore , the landscaping plan reviewed Monday night is in conjunction with a complete land development plan as part of ConAgra's expansion plan to its plant located on Route 611.
The Supervisors' reaction to the landscaping was one of approval for the large number of eight to 14-foot tall evergreen trees to be planted to help shield local resident from rail car noise, diesel exhaust odors, and dust particles.
"It's a big issue for the residents," said Supervisor Howard Klein, referring to residents' complaints of the dust, noise, and diesel odors.
The Board will hear a full overview of the entire project at its next meeting on December 9.
The Township Planning Commission, however, has not yet offered its conditional approval on the matter.

Half-Life – Singularity Collapse is an impressive Half-Life 2 fan movie which you can see below. It's a first-person movie, and features quite a bit of the protagonist looking at his hands, for some reason. Fortunately it's also heavy on the action, including a Highway 17 style buggy driving sequence, which is particularly awesome. It's not short on the special effects, either, with a bonkers hi-tech reactor sequence, explosions, HUD weirdness, and lots of explosions and gunplay. Worth a watch, I would say.

By Alec Meer on June 17th, 2011.
With Bellevue's finest opting not to make an appearance at E3 earlier this month, we've all been left in the dark THE TERRIBLE FRIGHTENING DARKNESS about what's next on the plate for Valve, and when we might see it. DoTA 2? Portal 2 expansions? Something, at long, long bloody last, to do with Half-Life?
Well, in August we might find out.

Mod News: The End
By Lewis Denby on June 8th, 2011.
This is it. The end. This column you are about to read will be the last ever Mod News. Sniff. It's been a pleasure, guys.
But no, really, it has. Over the past year, I've had a fantastic time as RPS' mods guy, and it's been a real honour to write this column every week – even if it is essentially just a roundup of all the latest happenings on a particular gaming scene. I can assure you that the end of Mod News coincides with the Hivemind's bigger and better plans for mod coverage in the months ahead. You're being left in very safe hands.
So, folks, would you join me for one more dance? Here's the last and final week in mod news, including stuff for Half-Life 2, Neverwinter Nights, Oblivion, Morrowind and Stalker.

Mod News: Clever Girl
By Lewis Denby on June 1st, 2011.
Quite a lot of mod news this week, apparently, even though there's very little for you to actually play. There's a long-awaited update from Jurrassic Life, as well as plenty of other gubbins related to Half-Life 2, Crysis, Stalker: Clear Sky, Portal 2 and Dirt 3. That's a lot of games! Read on to find out what's what.

What If Gordon Freeman Had A Body?
By Alec Meer on May 31st, 2011.
(I was going to title the post Gordon 'The Body' Freeman, but I figured people would just think it was porny fanfic). James Benson, the chap behind the splendid Dance Fortress video has gone for a rather different tack for his next project. He's cut a new trailer for the original Half-Life, demonstrating how the game might look if Freeman was a real physical presence rather than just a hand with a gun. The first-person perspective remains, but it's now augmented with believable arms. Arms that open doors, climb ladders, prise open vents, raise to protect the face from leaping Head-Crabs and even pick up and don a certain pair of spectacles that have fallen to the floor. I would like to play this non-existent videogame.

Well Sourced: Clear Skies Movie Hits Part 3
By Jim Rossignol on May 31st, 2011.
The extraordinary labour of love that is the Source-powered Eve Online fan movie Clear Skies has now reached its third episode. You can download that in full here. This work of machinima is one of the most extensive and dedicated I've seen, and it's awesome to see that it's still going. The incongruity of the Half-Life 2 characters in space hasn't really lessened, however… I've posted a stream of the original first episode below, so those who are unfamiliar with it can get a taste. Go take a look.

Mod News: Silence Is Golden
By Lewis Denby on May 25th, 2011.
It's been an unusually quiet week in the world of mod news. Perhaps all our humble developers have been scurrying away in front of their PCs actually getting some work done, and that's why we've seen very few items of news but another collection of new releases and updates, ready for you to play right now. This week: the first Portal 2 mod, a new version of Action Half-Life 2 after several years, fan creations for Oblivion, Fuel, Battlefield 2 and – goodness me – a bunch more below the jump.

Stop, Drop, Roll: Action Half-Life 2 V2 Out
By Quintin Smith on May 23rd, 2011.
I played a lot of Action Half-Life back in the day- it's a mod which adds leaps, rolls, kung-fu and so on to Half-Life multiplayer, as well as a small collection of colourful weapons, each of which is (in theory) the equal of any of the others. It also boasted some of gaming's most legendary map secrets. You can read my love letter to AHL here, or read my account of an expedition into one of those secrets here.
It therefore fills me with a delicate, Monday morning joy to announce that Action Half-Life 2 version 2 has been released. If you own Half-Life 2 you can get the installer here, a Linux server binary here and read some details as to what's new and watch a trailer after the jump.

Life-Less: No New Valve Game At E3
By Alec Meer on May 18th, 2011.
A bunch of folk seem to have become convinced that Valve would be revealing something at E3 next month. Each and every rumour about Valve does of course involve Half-Life 3/Episode 3, and this one was no different. The long-awaited next slice of Gordonery would finally be shown at E3, whispers claimed. People became excited, but they shouldn't have done. Valve will not be revealing a Half-Like game at E3. They won't be showing off their other known project, DOTA 2, either. They won't be revealing any kind of anything, in fact, as a mass mail-out by Valve has just confirmed that "we are not showing any titles at this year's show". That doesn't, of course, mean they won't be showing something later in the year, but if there is anything to show it certainly won't be then. So that's that. Got it? Good.
Oh, I do regret writing this post now. "News: there won't be any news." HOT SCOOPS Y'ALL.

Mod News: All the Questions
By Lewis Denby on May 4th, 2011.
More sites should interview mod-makers, I feel. If one of this week's picks is anything to go by, they can have some interesting things to say. Modding might not usually be quite as huge a process as making a full-on indie game, but as a modder you face your own unique problems, ones we don't always get to hear about. Maybe we should take note of that at RPS. Either way, read on for this week's roundup.

Mod News: Release The Valve
By Lewis Denby on April 20th, 2011.
In the week of Portal 2's release, it seems apt that Valve's games should dominate the mod scene's output. While the range of titles you can mod these days is impressive, and so many of the tools are easy to learn, I've still yet to come across a moddable engine that's quite as intuitive and flexible as Source. I can't wait to see what people can do with Portal 2 when we're able to mod that. It's going to be very interesting to see the results. Onwards, then…

The Truth Behind The Half-Life 2 Robbery
By Alec Meer on February 22nd, 2011.
If you read one article about gaming this week (er – that isn't on RPS. Actually, even so…), it should be Simon Parkin's excellent investigation into Axel Gembe, the chap who notoriously stole Half-Life 2's source code long before the game was released. Not just a document of the before and after, it also explores the young German hacker's thinking and intentions – which may not be entirely what you suspect. It's a strangely sad and sympathetic tale which paints those notorious headlines of 2004 in a whole new light. Especially, the suggestion that being arrested by German police before US law enforcement could get to him actually did him a huge favour – in terms of learning his lesson as well as retaining his freedom despite his crime.

Sadly I think those codes expire. My bad luck too, as I had planned to wait until all 7/8 movies were out to buy any of them, expecting there would be a boxed set like the books. Maybe when there is they will reset the expiration dates. Otherwise Digital Copy is a rip-off.

PCM is uncompressed audio whereas the other two use compression. Some older players can't decode DTS HD or TrueHD, which most likely accounts for the choice of PCM to make it universally playable.

Bernanke says Fed stimulus benefits clear, budget cuts a risk
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Pedro da Costa and Alister Bull | February 27, 2013 2:14 AM EST
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke strongly defended the U.S. central bank's bond-buying stimulus before Congress on Tuesday, saying its benefits clearly exceed possible costs.
The Fed chairman also urged lawmakers to avoid sharp spending cuts set to go into effect on Friday, which he warned could combine with earlier tax increases to create a "significant headwind" for the economic recovery.
Bernanke said Fed policymakers are cognizant of potential risks from their extraordinary support for the economy, including the possibility the public loses confidence in the central bank's ability to unwind its stimulus smoothly or the potentially destabilizing effect of low rates on key markets.
But he added these did not seem material at the moment, adding the central bank has all the tools it needs to retreat from its monetary support in a timely fashion.
"To this point, we do not see the potential costs of the increased risk-taking in some financial markets as outweighing the benefits of promoting a stronger economic recovery and more rapid job creation," Bernanke said in remarks prepared for delivery to the Senate Banking Committee.
Minutes of the Fed's January 29-30 policy meeting, released last week, showed that a number of officials felt the potential risks posed by buying bonds could warrant tapering or ending the program before hiring picks up. However, several others argued there was a danger in halting it prematurely.
Bernanke appeared to be in the latter camp, citing improvements in the housing and auto sectors and tracing them in part to the Fed's stimulus.
He also noted that inflation, one of the risks most often cited by critics of the central bank's so-called quantitative easing, remains projected to stay at or below the Fed's 2 percent target for the foreseeable future.
In response to the financial crisis and deep recession of 2007-2009, the Fed not only slashed official interest rates to effectively zero but also bought more than $2.5 trillion in mortgage and Treasury debt in an effort to push down long-term interest rates and spur investment.
The Fed is currently buying $85 billion in bonds each month and has said it plans to keep purchasing assets until it sees a substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market.
In unusually direct remarks on fiscal policy, Bernanke warned that the near-term spending cuts know as the sequester, which are set to take hold later this week, threaten an already challenged economic expansion.
"The Congress and the administration should consider replacing the sharp, frontloaded spending cuts required by the sequestration, with policies that reduce the federal deficit more gradually in the near term but more substantially in the longer run," Bernanke said.
"A substantial portion of the recent progress in lowering the deficit has been concentrated in near-term budget changes, which, taken together, could create a significant headwind for the economic recovery," he said.
The U.S. economy braked sharply in the fourth quarter, but is generally forecast to grow around 2 percent or more this year. Unemployment has remained elevated, and registered 7.9 percent in January.
Bernanke said persistent joblessness was a scourge with potentially long-lasting effects for the United States.
"High unemployment has substantial costs, including not only the hardship faced by the unemployed and their families, but also the harm done to the vitality and productive potential of our economy as a whole," Bernanke said.

May 2014 Openings and Closings
- MC Slim JB Apr 29, 2014 02:14 PM
Might as well start collecting these here. Per Eater Boston, Cathedral Station is set to open in May in the old Red Fez space, with the former Fritz folks doing an LGBT-friendly sports bar / pub there.
Other openings Eater thinks are slated for a May include:
Causeway BBQ, in the old Penalty Box space near TD Garden
Crave - Mad For Chicken, a Korean fried chicken joint in the former Enso Sushi space at the edge of Chinatown
Liquid Art House, the art gallery/restaurant with Rachel Klein as chef, on Arlington St near the Pike in Back Bay
Lulu's, with its very eclectic menu, in Allston's old Cafe Brazil space
Mike's Pastry #2, in Harvard Square
Sa Pa #2, in Cleveland Circle
Totto Ramen (!) in Allston near the TiTS.
re: divinebaboon
"Tavern in the Square".
re: newhound
I prefer the term "TOTS." At least that's what I say I prefer.
re: divinebaboon
Yeah, Saturday is correct. I was in there taking photos yesterday. Looks nice! I'll post the gallery on Eater later today or tomorrow.
re: divinebaboon
I wonder if Totto is open for lunch or just dinner?
I'm half tempted to walk down there now and check it out.
re: jmarya
As of a couple weeks ago, the owner was planning on starting with dinner only.
re: smtucker
Where did you hear that date, smtucker?
re: smtucker
P.S. Just got word from JP Licks that they don't have an exact opening date for the Assembly Row location.
re: hiddenboston
Well, someone I know is on the schedule for that date. Maybe the opening date has moved and they have decided to do more training instead.
Perhaps, I wasn't supposed to say anything. If so, I wasn't told that this was a quiet thing. Sorry.
re: smtucker
Somerville Patch reports that the JP Licks at Assembly Row opened today 5/2.
re: buffet king
Soft opening was yesterday.
re: Jenny Ondioline
Wasn't it initially Tavern in the Square and they changed it for the mature and deep acronym whe they expanded? I could be imagining that.
re: Madrid
I always felt (even back when there was just one) that it was the local chain type equivalent of a Fridays or something like that. By that I mean that one could do worse, but unless one was out in the Hinterlands (and TiTS isn't) one could do a lot better.
Back when I lived in Central most of the times I went there was when we had a large crowd of folks in from out of town and it was giong to be difficult to identify a place everyone can agree on. And that really is the one nice thing about a Fridays, Cheesecake Factory, etc - the food might be crappy but the menus are broad enough to handle disparate desires.
re: jgg13
I beg to differ regarding Fridays' and The Cheesecake Factory. Friday's is bad and the company's expansion into snack food is a real indicator of what they serve. The Cheesecake Factory's baked goods are good and the food is on the better side of predictable because that is their market. Fridays went down because it was bad. The Cheesecake Factory thrives because it is just a tad better than it has to be.
re: Jenny Ondioline
Ah, it all makes so much more sense now.
According to the manager of the West Hartford Besito, they are hoping for a soft opening of the Chestnut Hill location in May.
Happy to report via an employee who is a Facebook friend that The Delux Cafe in the South End will reopen tomorrow, with very few changes except a kitchen update and some reupholstered barstools. Two longtime employees bought the place, and apparently opted not to mess with a good thing. Several of the bartenders I interviewed for my recent Improper feature cited this as their favorite off-hours spot. I've been a fan since the days it turned over from being a scary biker bar.
re: MC Slim JB
From scary biker bar to not so scary bike courier bar.
Has anyone heard anything on Sammy's cart by Vanderbilt Hall? It's been closed for at least 3 months; no updates besides that one posted note saying renovations were needed. Don't see anything on google. Thanks.
Just saw on Hidden Boston that Sonny Noto's in Eastie has closed. Sad; I reviewed it for the Phoenix in 2010 and liked it a lot, especially for its steak tips and house special sub of chicken cutlets, prosciutto, roasted red peppers and fresh mozz. I understand the Wakefield outpost is still going.
The Cambridge location of The Abbey looks like it'll open shortly based on photos from their Facebook page.
This has gotten multiple mentions in different spots, but not in an Opening thread: La Brasa in Somerville is open as of late April.
I drove by and saw that Hokkaido on Hancock St in Quincy finally opened, after having papered windows for months.
It's a small space, and their FB-posted menu looks like the typical Japanese restaurant, with an emphasis on sushi, and a few noodle, tempura, bento options.
Eater Boston reports that Liquid Art House officially opens tonight. I see the bar program is run by a Hawthorne alum: promising.
When Villaggio, the most recent incarnation of Manning Manse on Rt. 129 in N. Billerica, closed last fall, it was announced that Jon Ryan Pub, Tewksbury, would quickly open a second location there. Passing by the other day, I noticed that there is still a "coming soon" sign posted there. http://www.lowellsun.com/news/ci_2448...
Haveli in Inman Square, Cambridge, has closed. They gave away everything in the place over the weekend.
The owners of Hops N Scotch in Coolidge Corner bought the Havelu space and license and will open a restaurant there.
re: MC Slim JB
Hops and Scotch has been pretty dismal the 2 or 3 times I've eaten there. Admittedly over a year ago.
Unless they got their act together, another place might not be the best plan.
re: C. Hamster
Decent whiskey bar; if not quite a Citizen; have not had anything to eat there.
Tamarind House near Linnaean Street in Cambridge is closed. Not a big loss. The new tenant will be something like "Pho House," Vietnamese and Thai.
re: Jenny Ondioline
I'm hoping that's just because it's so new. I really want to try this place, but am not super excited about waiting in line for ramen (though at least the weather is good!).
Will Totto eventually be serving lunch?
re: galangatron
Is it open now? Where on Salem Street?
re: gimlis1mum
184 salem street. it isn't open yet
re: galangatron
Believe it's in the old Cityside space.
Per their Facebook page, Ferry Street Food and Drink will open next Wednesday.
re: noahbody
yay for Ferry Street! Their menu looks good. Never went to No. 9 Ale House but ventured into their predecessor once or twice.
I'm not sure if this is the best spot to post this since there wasn't a timeline mentioned, but Brand New Watch twitter feed said that Gustazo will be opening in the old Elephant Walk space on Main St. in Waltham.
I don't know if the Belmont spot will also stay open.
re: Stride
That didn't last long. Some sites (e.g. Foodler) still had the old logo :)
Boston Magazine is reporting that Il Casale Cucina Campana in Lexington will open by May 23. They also published a menu, though I haven't found a website and they aren't on opentable yet.
re: hungrytommy
It's open now in Lexington.
re: Chris VR
It is on opentable but their website remains nonexistent! Has anyone been yet?
re: hungrytommy
I went last week. Got stuck at the worst table in the house- a high top deuce between the server's station and a large bar table which that night was hosting a racuous group of girls' night out types. A partial wall next to the table reflected all the noise back to us and the activity of the server station was pretty distracting as well. It felt like a really noisy place but perhaps that was just our location
Calamari app was fantastic, so so very good. Not particularly a large portion, but that seems to be the norm with all of their dishes. I'd have liked more just because it was so good, but enforced smaller portion works well for me on a diet, so no complaints, especially when it's high quality. I also like to have the pepperonicini fried along with the calamari and this came sliced on the side, but that's a quibble. The aioli was fantastic.
My baked pasta (lasagna with a meat sauce) was fine. It was dominated with a creamy cheesy bechamel sauce and my preference is for more of a tomato-based sauce, but it was a good dish and the pasta was cooked right. My friend's wasn't, the linguine with clam sauce, I think it was. The pasta was really undercooked and that's a complaint I've also heard on a local discussion list. They were very good about it when we brought it to our attention, and replace it quickly, and credited the check. Her half portion was, again, on the small side, with 3 clams, but the taste was good.
We had considered ordering coffee or dessert but after plates were cleared and menus were delivered for dessert, our server couldn't get back to our table for about 15 minutes or so, at which point we decided that ice cream and coffee at Rancatore's across the street might work better for us.
My cocktail was "The Meletti" which included Meletti amaro, which I've never had, and seems to be one of those herbal liqueurs my husband loves but doesn't always click with me, and amarena cherry which I thought would be an alcohol soaked cherry but was a liqueur. It was presented in a small cordial glass and it might be better as an after dinner digestive than a pre-dinner cocktail. Also once my dining companion likened it to Robutussin, that was all I could taste.
Our server was lovely and the manager who checked in with us about the pasta and again at the end of our meal was great as well. We were there one of their first open nights so I didn't want to start a new thread about it, since they need time to work everything out.
re: gimlis1mum
Have you had a chance to buy anything yet? Was it good?
re: smtucker
Not yet - hoping to try it next week.
re: gimlis1mum
Finally stopped in this morning. It seems like more of a small grocery, with a meat case in the back, than a full-on butcher shop (but I've never been a Brazilian butcher shop before so maybe that's my bias). Assorted meat bits: chicken hearts on skewers ready for grilling, halal goat cubes, beef, pork or chicken sausage, other beefy things.
Staff were friendly and seemed eager to explain what things were, if I had any questions. I got some spicy chicken sausage & pork sausages to try.
Italian Kitchen of Wakefield (next door to Farmland) reports a soft opening starting Thurs. Pizza, pastas, Stromboli, sandwiches on the menu.
According to Dig Boston, Bastille Kitchen is set to open in Fort Point next week.
Cambridge Day reports that CSA John Crow Farm of Groton has declared bankruptcy.
Per Hidden Boston, McCabe's on Mass, from the Bull McCabe's folks, is now open in the former Dubliner Pub space in Porter Square.
tea dó (bubble tea and snacks) has opened in the old ocean wealth restaurant location on tyler street in chinatown
re: jajjguy
Yes, it does.
Just noticed that WAN Convenience moved this month from its longtime home in Mission Hill to Allston on Brighton Ave, a couple of doors down from S&I Thai.
I reviewed this place for the Phoenix a few years ago: very good, sometimes odd, often messy sandwiches and subs, and a very charming, garrulous owner.
re: MC Slim JB
Hm. This neighborhood has been gagging for a good sub shop. I must investigate.
re: Jenny Ondioline
I never got to its predecessor in that space, Wise Guys, which looked forgettable. Pretty sure Winston "Al" Niles opened up without replacing the old sign.
re: MC Slim JB
Holy crap, but that Bizzy Bone looks amazing.
re: Jenny Ondioline
He has a heavy hand with dressings on some sandwiches, so grab lots of napkins. The Bizzy Bone might be his best seller, with good reason.
I don't think it's been mentioned yet that Hong Cuc Sandwich Shop in Lowell has opened a second location, at 11 Grand Street, close to the Boys and Girls Club. Grand Street runs between Middlesex St., Westford St, and Rt. 110 (Chelmsford St), very near Thorndike St. If you headed onto and of those streets from that rotary that loops over Thorndike at Appleton St., Grand St would be the second intersection you come to once you leave the rotary.
I had not been to the Dutton St. location in some months and noticed the sign on their door announcing the second place, but I have not been there yet and don't know how long it's been open.
This really should be under August events but the Back Bar/Journeyman folks will be opening their new restaurant/bar as soon as August. It has been referred to as the Ames Street Deli. It will be housed in the first floor of the new Broad Institute building on Ames St in Kendall Square. They gave an overview to employees recently. Part of it will be deli by day and a bar at night. There will be coffees and baked goods plus lunch items. Another portion of the space will be a sit down restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
re: bonhomme1
Nice. I can not believe the number of places that have opened in the Kendall Square area over the last 4 or 5 years. Really amazing to think of all of the really top quality options here now.
According to a sign in their window today, the California Pizza Kitchen in the State Transportation Building has closed after 15 years.
re: wandergirl
any clue as to what will go in there?
re: jmarya
No, but I'll post if I hear anything. The former location of Vapiano's (and before that, Bennigan's) in the building has been vacant for some time so I expect the California Pizza Kitchen's space might also be empty for a while.
re: wandergirl
Too bad, that food court could use a halfway decent lunch option.
re: jmarya
I completely agree. I'm hoping for a really good sandwich place, either in Starbuck's or Emack & Bolio's old locations. A good restaurant in CPK or Vapiano's would be terrific but the place seems to attract chains (I've heard the rent is really high) so I'm not holding my breath.
re: wandergirl
Our office moved to the Park plaza building so I have both the Transportation building and the park square building to choose from.
I am a sucker for a #9 and Herrara's isn't that bad, actually.
But I'd also love something better in this neighborhood of chain restaurants.
As an aside.... Did CPK used to be a Fuddruckers?
re: C. Hamster
I don't ever recall it being there, but apparently there was a Fuddruckers there once upon a time. My last fond memory of dining in the Transportation Building was at Rocco's, some time in the mid-90s. (There was a place called Noodle Bar in between Rocco's and P.F. Chang's, but nothing about it sticks in my memory except it keeping the Rocco's ceiling frescoes intact but otherwise sucking.)
re: MC Slim JB
I used to work in the Transportation building when it first opened. Indeed there was a Fuddrucker's there for many years. There was an entrance from the street as well as the Food Court.
re: C. Hamster
another aside about lunch options in that area...does anyone know what's going on with the four burgers on boylston around the corner from the Transportation building?
It's had a sign that says "closed today" for the last six months.
re: jmarya
Four Burgers is permanently closed. I heard that Griddlers was supposed to be adding a new location at this site but I haven't seen any signs of life.
re: C. Hamster
My recollection is that the Fuddrucker's was kinda sorta in that space, but with an entrance from Charles Street rather than from the food court (which may not have existed at that time.)
re: Stride
The restaurant tweeted today that it will open tomorrow, Friday, May 30.
re: galangatron
galangatron, there were rumors that it closed last month, but I believe they were false. Is the space empty? Sign on the door? I'm checking with someone involved with the city council right now to get some details...
re: hiddenboston
Walked by it last night on my way to look at the menu at WOW Barbecue next door. Moroccan Hospitality is closed and emptied out.
re: jonnyonyx
They've been looking increasingly close to opening in Somerville. Perhaps the new one isn't a new outpost but rather a replacement.
re: jajjguy
King St. Tavern is now open in the former Woodward in what is now called Ames Boston Hotel (1 Court St., Gov't Center). Not much info available on it yet.
Stepstone Hospitality took over management of the hotel/restaurant last summer from Morgans Hotel Group. Woodward closed shortly before and the restaurant space had been vacant until now.
re: OliveJones
Just a quick note on King St. Tavern--the bar is open, but the kitchen isn't ready yet. So it's drinks only for now.

I really want a couple of these.
I just got one of the 2.5er's for my b-day. It's pretty nice! My only concern is that the seam that goes around the bottom on the inside is pretty wide and has a big black mark on it. Anyone else having a weird looking seam on the inside? I'll try to get a pic up when I get home.
It's curious that AIH accepted an entire shipment (container) that did not meet their previously advertised specs as to stackability w/ connections in place. That would seem to be a big advantage that has gone away. Merely stacking for storage- big whoop!
You stated earlier in this thread that the 3 gallon kegs were stackable with the connectors on. But the Q & A for this product on your site says "The three gallon kegs are not stack-able with the fittings on them. " Is the current batch of 3 gallon kegs not stackable?
According to a reply I got from OldAleJay a couple of months ago in this thread, it may be around next summer before kegs with the taller handles are available. That's fine by me as I like the ability to stack with the disconnects on, so I don't minding waiting for the replacement kegs. The stacked kegs are not much taller than a standard 5 gallon corny.
