If I had a choice between a three point turn on that road and simply taking a side road to get back on track, I would take the side road 100% of the time.

I bet the time difference is in 1-2 minutes top.

Dinner vibe is great.

+1 on this, just avoid peak hours.

Also Trina's on a slow day.

I lived in Riverside for two years and the bartenders at Plough are so chill...

Milk Bar is chain of dessert and bakery restaurants founded by a celebrity chef, Christine Tosi, which hit its stride/peak like a decade ago in NYC.

I'd say the product was expensive and not as good as other bakeries in Cambridge or the Boston area. My girlfriend describes it as 'Instagram food.'

If you appeal and wait the many months it takes for them to get to you, inflation will give you a discount. Big brain move.

My roommates car broke down in Riverside with NY plates and was left parked for 7 months through the winter without a single ticket. Not one lol.

Oh yea, def agree on 1369 Mass Ave. Didn't add Broadsheet cause I haven't been, but glad to see it's a good option.

I've had strange experiences at Barismo that might not be the usual so I'll reserve judgement... but typically I'll opt for Cicada in that area.

In other news, anyone remember Longfellow next to the brewery? I miss that place so much :(

Maybe we can compile a list of favorite backup sandwich shops and coffee near the closed Darwin's locations.

Darwins Cambridge St.

• Sandwiches: Harvard Market next door. Bigger portion, better price. To be completely honest, better sandwiches.

• Coffee: 1369 in Inman for mid-Cambridge. Any suggestions for people closer to Somerville?

Mass Ave.

• Coffee: Flour for MIT students, Cicada or Andala for residents closer to central. Cicada and Andala are solid food options, too.

• Sandwiches: the Reuben at Cambridge Deli & Grill is solid. Call for fast pickup. Staff is super friendly and longterm local, love those guys.

Darwin's Auburn (here my ignorance starts to show)

• Sandwiches: Black Sheep Bagel

• Coffee: not sure. Harvard is super corporate now and I want to avoid adding Flour twice. But Zinnekens coffee is a delight actually?

Darwin's Putnam

• Hard because Putnam is very residential.

• Coffee, maybe Zinnekens or Andala. Although when I lived in Riverside I made the walk to Cicada almost daily.

• Sandwiches... tough one. Cambridge Deli I loved. Coast Cafe is not strictly sandwiches, but the patties are amazing for lunch.

Didn't a faction allied with the Union also picket the owner's house?

Edit: lol at the downvote. You get the right to bargain, how you choose to bargain and whether it's done poorly is another discussion.

Quality kinda sucks though. Market Basket is GOATed. I go to HMart for the cheap citrus on clearance (6 pieces assorted citrus for $1! But use them within 3 days.)

Cafe Madeleine, you must reserve in advance.

If you call ahead, they will confirm/deny if you are allowed to camp at a Walmart.

As of 2019, it is what I was taught in a graduate course on associative memory and emergent dynamics in the brain. We read Hertz's Theory Of Neural Computation. This was right before people worked on Hopfield-Self Attention.

True, they didn't roll out a Kennedy for MBS. Not even Joe Kennedy :P

I'm afraid to inform you LaserShip is really bad. Hoping you're able to resolve somehow anyway 🙏

If it was Amazon, they might be able to tell you if it was through their delivery vehicles.
