Feb. 1st, 1 pm, Grasshopper in Allston for vegan Asian food
The next social outing for food will be February 1 at 1 pm at an Allston restaurant called Grasshopper (or r-p-o-p-h-e-s-s-a-g-r). The cuisine is vegan Vietnamese and Chinese. The address is 1 Beacon Street. It’s a few blocks from the B Line Green Line and is close to several bus stops, too. Parking might be tricky. Bring your appetite. If I get a headcount in advance, I might try to make a reservation. I’ll add a few extra spots in case anyone who doesn’t RSVP shows up.
Addendum 1/25: The cheesecake really is amazing.
Addendum 1/26: A group of us will meet at 12:30 pm in front of the token machines in the main terminal of the Harvard Square station to ride the 66 bus over. It picks people up from the corner of Eliot Street and JFK Street near the Kennedy School of Government’s Belfer Center (one block towards the river from the Bombay Club, where our group eats a lot) and stops very close to Grasshopper. A bus leaves Harvard Square around 12:40 and arrives near the restaurant 12:50ish. (The restaurant is near the sharp turn at Union Square on the bus route map.) Let me know if you would be interested in going over to the restaurant together. It’s probably easier to park near Harvard Square than to park near Grasshopper. (Meters are free on Sundays.)
Addendum 1/31: There’s a reservation for 10 people at 1 pm. There’s room for a few extra people.
Addendum 2/1: Seven people came for lunch. We talked about, well, politics and blogging. And no one had vegan chicken feet.
