On Monday, I’ll be making a move over the river and into Cambridge. There’s a lot of things about living in Brighton I’m looking forward to leaving behind, but I wanted to take the time and reflect on some of the things I’ll miss:
- My apartment’s adorable pantry (we call it our “hobbit hole”)
- My apartment’s wonderful little sun porch, which was perfect for working in
- Living right next door to Whole Foods
- How friendly everyone is at Lee’s (local convenience store)
- Hungover brunch at the Brighton Cafe, where the food is cheap and plentiful
- Working at Refuge Cafe, the only cafe in Boston that’s come close to matching The Roost in atmosphere
- Being close to Sunset Grill & Tap, which has hundreds of beers
- Having so many decent sushi places within a mile of me, especially Hoshi Ya. Their salmon don is fantastic.
Farewell, Brighton.
