Gritty, cold and caffeinated

In East Boston

“I guess no true Bostonian would trust a place that was sunny and pleasant all the time. But a gritty, perpetually cold and gloomy neighborhood? Throw in a couple of Dunkin’ Donuts locations, and I’m right at home.”

― Rick Riordan, in The Sword of Summer
