I woke up convinced it was Friday, which felt kinda rude. Luckily, the day turned around because I finally made it to the cutest coffee cart. It’s right on the Neponset River Greenway, rooftop seating included. Order something indulgent, watch the pups go by and suddenly Thursday doesn’t seem so bad.

Another plan I highly recommend: Boys Like Girls, Cartel, Cute Is What We Aim For and Hit the Lights are taking over Seaport this weekend for one massive pop-punk night. Even better? You could be on the guest list for free. Win tickets.
