Great that will be a good addition to center street in my opinion.
 
Man, if that isn't indicative of JP's gentrification, I don't know what is...
 
Good news. I like the other one, so more can't be a bad thing. Probably Kendall and Davis are in the works as well...
 
Similar to what you'd find in new york city, south station now has a convenience kiosk. (Sorry I don't have professional cameras but at least I post pics lol)

My heart be still! More more more! If only we could get fresh bakeries like the Berlin U-Bahn. =P

Great find.

Baguette Charlemagne
PAUL celebrates 120 years of tradition and excellence in the art of baking bread with the creation of the Charlemagne baguette. This baguette is made with durum wheat giving it a distinctive taste and appearance. The thin crust and dense center make it perfect for those looking for quality and flavor.

Uh, on my commute I just want a 1 Euro Apfelschnecke or Bretzel... not a ridiculously pricey fruit tart or chocolate torte.

Oh Le Crobag! For a place with such an unappetizing name (when pronounced in American), it has saved me from starvation on many occasions. Boston could definitely use a few of those.

Oh for fucks sake. Give it a break. None of these establishments you have posted are in train stations. My original post about this was about bakeries in train stations and on subway platforms.
 
Just saw that the former Citizens Bank right in the center of Harvard Square (former location of the Tasty) is becoming... wait for it... a CVS. This would make three CVS locations in a two block span. Anyone know if one or both of the other locations are shuttering?
 
Speaking of CVS, is the one in South Station the absolute worst use of retail space in the city?

With the views looking out over Dewey Sq and the inside of the station, that space would be the ideal spot for a high-end restaurant, no? Unless it was impossible to put a kitchen in the space.

Please tell me they're closing at least the one on JFK if they're taking up another (?!?) space. It's looking pretty shabby.
