Be on the lookout for a bull roaming the streets of Boston
When it comes to wildlife, Boston has it all! Mean turkeys, swimming coyotes, bald eagles, bunnies, chickens, and now a bull. Yes, a bull. Earlier this week, a bull escaped from a home in Roslindale and is on the loose. Evidently, the resident had no idea that you’re not allowed to keep farm animals, other than chickens, in the city limits. Hmmmm, we can’t imagine why. Maybe for exactly this reason, now there’s a bull roaming the streets of the city.

Best of Boston Winners South Boston 2024
Boston Magazine just announced its Best of Boston Winners! Here are the winners from the South Boston/Seaport neighborhood! Congratulations! Southie cleaned up!. With about as many Italian restaurants in Boston as there are pasta types, sometimes it takes a big personality and bold flavor to break through all the noise. Food-TV star Karen Akunowicz is doing just that at Bar Volpe. The restaurant and pastificio is bursting with the colorful flair and attention to detail that the James Beard Award–winning chef is known for (case in point: a fun take on a caviar course that includes ricotta gnocchi with dollops of caviar, chives, and plenty of lemon butter). Regulars know not to skip the snacks — a.k.a. stuzzichini — such as fried ’nduja-and-mortadella-stuffed olives and fritti misti with a spicy Calabrian-pepper spread. 170 W. Broadway, Boston, MA 02127, barvolpe.com.
