jungleinthefrunk Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Depending on where my friend is placed (he is getting an internship) I'm either going to Boston or Austin in late June. I'm really excited. Well I guess there is a slim chance he could be in any other US city but most likely it's one of those two. Any tips and tricks and hot spots appreciated. Also will need to know the name of a gym where I could drop in for a small fee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Your friend only likes to choose from places that rhyme? I have veg friends in both of those cities so let me know once you figure out which you are going to. Robert who I'm sure you are acquainted with lives in Austin now. Jacqamo (not sure on spelling of his name and his lady live in the Boston area (they are the vegan proteins people). I have a couple other friends in each of those cities as well that would be good resources for finding a gym and knowing where to get good eats. -Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.O. Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 If you drive to Austin any chance you might take a passenger with you? I've been wanting to go for the last few months but haven't had the cash for a plane ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jungleinthefrunk Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 It's Official. I will be in Boston from June 28-June 30. Watch out lol. I am visiting a friend who is the complete opposite of me food wise - his favorite restaurant is Wendy's and coming in second to that is chinese fried chicken. He is a 26 year old picky eater who eats basically alll meat....while I'm a vegan who wants to try everything on my upcoming trip. We go out to eat together a lot considering...he likes the fries at my vegan place and the lemonade and also he can get a cheese pizza, or sometimes we go for chinese and i get tofu. that said, please give me suggestions for good vegan eats, libations, and cultural stuff. I was also thinking about taking the Ferry to Ptown, or somewhere else on the cape. Any cape suggestions?? Also, if anyone wants to meet up for a work out or food that would be cool too! Thanks!! Also coming back through Warwick NY to visit another friend but at that point won't really have time to stop anywhere else. I'm so excited to get the you know what out of jersey even for three days.

I hear good things about the Clover food trucks, but haven't tried them. On the Cape, just go to Ptown. You can find a few places on Commercial that serve vegan food, and the whole place is super friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find a few places on Commercial that serve vegan food, and the whole place is super friendly. 100% agree on all the above. Ptown is my favorite place ever, it's like a gay Mr. Roger's neighborhood and it's awesome. There are some vegan friendly places there as well though I don't remember their names. lol And I have tried the Clover Food trucks...they are amazing. I've had their sandwiches and they make these rosemary and sea salt fries that are to die for, they even toss the fries in front of you which is awesome. I LOVE MY Thai and Veggie Galaxy is the bomb! I've heard Peace O'Pie in Allston is good though I haven't been there yet and there is also Grasshopper in Allston which I have also heard is good. There is a place called Life Alive in Cambridge, I haven't been to that one but they just opened up one close to me in Salem and it was amazing. So I am assuming the one in Cambridge is also delicious. Their smoothies are bitchin' Government center and Faneuil Hall are good places to check out. There are always things going on there, and there are street performers doing all sorts of different things. Plus it's very historical and cool to check out. Quincy Market which is sort of behind Faneuil hall and is a long building is just one big food court and they have indian and japanese places that are veggie friendly. My husband and I were just there this weekend and we went to Wagamama which is on one side of Quincy Market and they had some great veggie meals. You can also check out Fenway park or go to the Back bay near the Prudential center. It's personally one of my favorite places to walk around, probably because I used to lead a walking group there. The Prudential center is kind of cool, it's a very pretty expensive mall but it's still cool to walk around. Boylston street I believe is good for night life, I think all the clubs I have gone to are on Boylston near the park. The Aquarium is kind of neat and although I haven't been in a while the Museum of science is cool. You can also do whale watching or take a duck tour of the city. You could also take a train up to Salem, Ma which is about 30 minutes north of Boston. It's a nice walking town and because it's known for the witch trials you usually see some interesting people walking around. haha trust me I drive through every day, it's a good people watching town. Plus they do walking tours, there are witch museums and some neat little stores. Hopefully that's helpful. I didn't grow up in Boston but I've worked there for a few years and lived north of the area for a few more so I am just giving you the info that I know from experience. I'm sure someone from Boston can give you more info and better places to go. -Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also will need to know the name of a gym where I could drop in for a small fee... I live in Boston, and can tell you a lot of gyms offer special passes and what-not. I personally don't use gyms and work out in my basement. Boston has a vegan pizzeria and a vegan ice cream place a few doors down from it. There are also vegan bakeries, vegan Asian places, and vegetarian restaurants with vegan options for everything. We are DAMNED spoiled here in Boston and I suggest a visit, you won't regret it.
