I try to avoid menus that have specials cards covering up the regular menu, but the back page here is special.
THEY SELL CIGARETTES AND CIGARS ON THE FOOD MENU
(to be smoked in the Men’s Cafe only)
The food looks good too
No tipping!

They added the temperature to the clock in Harvard Sq but in the equivalent of size five hint so unless you’re standing right beneath it and squinting you can’t see what it says.

One thing I pay attention to in public spaces in Boston is "are women in this space"?

Public space can be very male dominated and that can set up a dynamic where women then see these spaces as unwelcoming or worse

In particular parks can be places women avoid for their safety/comfort
For centuries, cities have been planned by and for able-bodied, gainfully-employed men.

Feminist urban planning isn’t proposing the opposite, but a model that considers all stages of human life, from infancy to old age, without giving greater importance to the productive-work stage.
