Another great place to satisfy your sweet tooth, the super-popular Veggie Galaxy boasts a bakery that is 100 percent vegan (plus, it serves FoMu ice cream). If that’s not enough to draw you out to this retro diner in Cambridge’s Central Square, anything on its main menu can be made vegan as well."

"Location: CambridgeType of food: AmericanPrice range: $10-16. Veggie Galaxy is a classic American diner that’s fully vegetarian (and eveything can be made vegan). You can grab a booth or a stool at the bar, and sit down to enjoy classics like mac n’ cheese, chick’n alfredo (with cauliflower alredo sauce, or chik’n and waffles."

"A post shared by Veggie Galaxy (@veggiegalaxy) on Feb 6, 2020 at 1:05pm PST. With an all day vegan breakfast menu and rotating weekly specials, Veggie Galaxy in Boston is pure brunch bliss. With an extensive bakery attached and an everything-can-be-made-vegan attitude, Veggie Galaxy is the place to be Sunday morning."

"My Thai has a huge menu of authentic Thai dishes for vegetarians and vegans. For those who miss the meat, the veggie “shrimp,” “chicken,” “beef,” and “duck” substitutes will impress. Favorites include the avocado medley with yellow curry (served in a fresh, whole avocado), and a fried taro root “bird’s nest” filled with veggies and a spicy green curry."

"Located in Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood, My Thai Vegan Cafe offers delicious Thai food, and everything here is completely vegan and very affordable. Try its pad thai or ‘chicken’ fingers made with tofu. Also, order a fresh-fruit bubble tea."

"Location: ChinatownType of food: Asian fusion, vegan onlyPrice range: $8-18. My Thai has been one true love for almost 7 years now. During my very first visit to Boston, I stumbled upon this vegan spot in Chinatown, and gave it a try."

"There’s something called an “Eggplant and Tofu Surprise” at Grasshopper, an all-vegan spot in Allston. We usually think surprises are as ridiculous as Tesla’s current stock prices, but it turns out this dish - made with a spicy black bean sauce - is pretty good. Perhaps the only disappointment is that there are no chapulines on the menu - yes, we know, they’re not vegan."

"Restaurants Vegan Allston/Brighton. Vegetarians and vegans alike flock to this pan-Asian Allston standby. The substantial menu features plenty of standards featuring veggies and tofu."

"Haven't been so I have no clue, but I have heard good things!. Located: 1 N Beacon St, Allston, MA 02134"

"Teele Square“Plant-based fine dining" is most certainly a thing at True Bistro. You might start with a light beet salad before moving on to cornmeal-crusted oyster mushrooms, peppered pappardelle with Chanterelles, or crispy polenta squares (the menu changes frequently based on the seasons). Then there’s brunch, which is awash in waffle and seitan sausage sorcery. Add in the restaurant’s bar area and you have the perfect spot for that celebratory group dinner that miraculously blends vegans and meat-eaters. Seriously, everyone will be happy."

"Located just outside of the main city, True Bistro is worth the quick trip to Somerville. The eatery provides an upscale dining experience, complete with romantic candlelight. The menu is sourced with ingredients local to New England—which means there are seasonal variations throughout the year—and dishes marry unexpected ingredients with excellent results."

"If you’re looking for vegan fine dining, you may want to head on over to True Bistro. With its white brick walls and white tablecloths, this eatery provides a nice contemporary backdrop for their plant-based menu. Their menus are subject to change seasonally, but make sure to check out the saffron ravioli with cashew cheese if you can."

"There’s a new Downtown location of the fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant Garbanzo, across the street from Boston Common. They’ve also got a loyalty program named “The Very Important Bean,” which doesn’t sound so aquafabulous to us."

"This regional chain was actually begun by an MIT grad who wanted quick-grab, sustainable vegan fare. What was once a single food truck has grown into a little local empire, with more than a dozen outlets dishing out favorites like barbecue seitan, chickpea fritters, and rosemary fries."

"Every time you go to the vegetarian restaurant Clover Food Lab, expect your meal to taste uniquely different. The menu is defined by fresh ingredients, and constantly changes with customer feedback. Clover started as a food truck and now is wildly successful with 13 locations in the Boston area."

"Toting the tagline “you are what you eat”, this petite eatery on the outskirts of the city is serious about its mission to provide quality vegan cuisine without sacrificing the robust flavor of traditional Indian fare. Start with the Sunda– seasoned chickpeas sautéed with onion and coconut– and move onto the Dosas as your main. Each is almost a foot long, served with chutney and sambar, not to mention completely vegan."

"Restaurants Indian Somerville. “Vegetarian Fusion” is the name of the game at this North Indian/South Indian/Indo-Chinese spot in Union Square. The menu is packed with meat-free, spice-rich dishes including dosas, rice dishes, curries, parathas, utthapams, bhajjis, and naan."

"Peters Park is a fitting destination for both children and adults. Visitors can have fun playing baseball, basketball or tennis in the designated courts while children can enjoy themselves in the Tot Lot!. The gardens are wonderful for walking about and are lined with flowers."

There are added seasonal attractions, both animal ones and special activities for kids during the summer, plus a chance to mimic the furry inhabitants – climb bamboo poles next to the red panda enclosure or go on an adventure through a grass maze while pretending to be a deer. There’s also an impressive 10,000 square foot playground, with designs inspired by the zoo’s animals, and – restrictions permitting – amusement rides and the chance to watch the animals being fed, as well as special experiences to get closer to some of them"

Start at the Meeting House where you can grab a protest handbill from one of the “colonists “and hear the story of the fateful night of December 16, 1773. You’ll be given a “Mohawk” disguise and join the Sons of Liberty marching to Griffin’s Wharf to board a ship and dump tea beside the patriots, protesting the unfair British tax on tea for the colonies."
