Wife and I moved to the North End last year and sold our cars for that reason. Can't pay Boston rent and also pay an extra $500 a month for a parking spot. I can scooter to work and my wife has a five minute walk to MGH. Coming from California, I thought we would be miserable without a car. Fortunately Boston is really easy to get around without a car. Bike lanes are actually pretty good here (not perfect), and public transit gets you most places easily. There's been a lot of gripes about long waits on the T and frequent shutdowns, but it hasn't been completely untenable.

People are ok with professional athletes and entertainers making millions of dollars but think cops should be paid like peasants. This logic insane

Damn. He did and advocated for so much in this city. I do believe him and Flynn still hold the record for most votes in a mayoral race in Bostin. RIP Mel.

It’s smaller than a road bike it’s not really a congesting thing

You’ll be making these cool employees jobs harder and congesting the crowded train entrance if you take one of the trains thats not meant for bikes.

It is quite good. Lyndell’s is good for just about any baked good that your grandmother loves. They are painfully old-school, but they are good at what they do.

Personally, I wish they would freshen up the menu a little

Didn’t we riot for a year to prevent this from happening?

Best cheesecake in NYC is S&S cheesecake…literal hole in the wall in the Bronx. But they have a website and you can order. Source: am a chunky NY gal who loves cheesecake
