The song kept playing, but there were no customers while the Softee truck gassed up. The driver had to get out because the gas tank is in a secret location in the back, by the rainbow sprinkles.

It works, too. This woman raised her hand a few inches and within five seconds a black car pulled over. Remember that the next time you step into the stream of traffic and scream at an empty yellow cab.

This is a mistake… The door to the cake shop is wide open and no one is around… Maybe I should go in and have a better look?

This small, unassuming shop on Atlantic Avenue, is producing world-class chocolates. Why didn’t anyone tell me? I had to walk by Nunu Chocolates, peer in, and think, That name sounds familiar. They also serve coffee, tea, beer, and wine to go with the chocolates. I’ll be back!

Get it while it lasts… if you like it. Panettone is like starter fruitcake: master this and you’re ready for the dense, American-style cake next. Both are around for the Christmas season; miss out and you have to wait until next year.

Avoid the sorrow of them-there kittens! Hurry down to the Salvation Army on Atlantic Avenue and go over by the coffee cups. Don’t stop to ask why, just grab these clips, pay your $1.07, and you’ll have the same mittens all winter long. Don’t let hipsters get a look at these things, though; they might get jealous of your retro-cool.
