I have noticed prices creeping up, but that was a jump for sure. For people on tight budgets each month it must be really tough to get all the food in under budget now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very left leaning, very liberal, ton of cool nightlife bars restaurants and just overall living. Very awesome area. Easy access to downtown via the Red Line too. you really can't go wrong. Harvard Sq right down the street too. Just excellent stuff. You're definitely in the right area for coastal front stuff too. Just far enough away from the water where you will see several more inches of snow compared to the immediate coast in a lot of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up some wings at a really popular spot and they were $15 for a 10 piece. They were like $7.99 pre covid. 2 bacon burgers and a large fry was $40 at five guys last week.

Five guys is like at least 80 bucks for the six of us. That’s 6 little burgers and a small fry to split. It’s insane. All fast food is through the roof now. Another reason to mostly avoid it.

Piecasso is the name here in Stowe and the place absolutely prints money. You’re right though, the pie is good so people pay it. And big, they say large pizza, it’s like a manhole cover in a box. Personally I’ve always wanted a Dominoes or something… see those large pies with toppings for like $7.99 and I’d be down with that instead of $25+ with tax whenever the wife or I want pizza.

Ha it snuck up on us how it is too with fast food. We don’t get it maybe once every 6 months when traveling or something… driving to CT we stopped at Mc D’s and every meal is like $10. I ended up going to Subway where you can at least still get a foot long for under $10 and feel slightly better about eating it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
