The Cannoli Battle of Boston
The North End of Boston is famous for its cannoli, but which one has the BEST (according to me)?\. There’s an ongoing debate among Boston locals and tourists alike: who has the best cannoli in Boston? Mike’s Pastry? Modern Pastry? Bova’s Bakery? As a native of the greater Boston area, I’ve been to all three bakeries too many times to count! As a kid, I never really thought to compare all three bakeries in respect to one popular dessert—the cannoli. Today, I’ll break down each bakery’s cannolis based on creativity of flavors, presentation and, of course, taste.

This Boston bar offers 'progressive happy hour'
Steph here , your friendly neighborhood cheapskate. A Charlestown bar is trying to incentivize afternoon foot traffic with a "progressive happy hour." The intrigue: The specials at Sullivan's Public House can't include alcohol because of the state's liquor restrictions, but it can subsidize food during lulls. State of plate: The bar offers a free appetizer with a drink, but only between 4-4:15pm Monday through Thursday. There's a 75% discount on an appetizer from 4:15-4:30pm, then a 50% discount from 4:30-5pm. Between 5 and 6pm, apps are 25% off if you buy a drink. What I got: A small plate of bourbon glazed ribs and some pigs in a blanket in the last hour, alongside a couple of $15 espresso martinis. With the discount, they cost $12 and $10.50, respectively. Be smart: If you're trying to save money, don't get suckered into buying drinks you didn't want for some cheap eats. I was planning on meeting a friend over drinks anyway, so the happy hour felt worth it.
