BOSTON – One more day in Boston, one more coffee shop. National roaster La Colombe opened its first Boston café Thursday near South Station. It's one more shop in a city with a coffee obsession that dates back to the colonial era.
One might think that another coffee shop can't survive in "Beantown," the birthplace of Dunkin' Donuts. But in fact, experts say, Boston is really at the cusp of another kind of coffee trend, one that focuses on a sensory, interactive experience with a single cup of coffee that puts quality over quantity.
BOSTON – Rainy weather Sunday failed to put a damper on the second annual Polish Festival celebration in Boston, as churchgoers streamed out of Our Lady of Czestochowa Church in Dorchester, some in traditional Polish garb and others waving Polish flags to march a few blocks to the Polish American Citizens Club.
The festivities took place there in the heart of the Polish Triangle, in an event designed to educate both the Polish community about their heritage and to share the culture with everyone who attended. The air quickly filled with savory smells from tents serving out traditional food including perogies, potato pancakes, sausages, stews and pastries.
