Not always the quickest but Bacco’s for a real sandwich that doesn’t use AI generated chicken like sweetgreen has

Bacco's is a solid choice.

Couple other ideas for you

- Walk a block down Clarendon to Greystone, technically the south end but so close to back bay and delicious
- Flour or Tatte are both solid for sandwiches and salads but you should order ahead
- Naya and Life Alive are 2 of the more tolerable slop bowl places. Much fresher ingredients than SG/Cava/Dig/Chipotle
- Parish cafe - technically a sitdown spot but you can get to go
- Greco on Newbury is a chain but does have good gyros

Besides Bacco. It’s all slop bowls- Greco, Dig, Cava, sweetgreen. Keep it on rotation.

However, there is a farmers market on Tuesday, and stand that serves delicious chicken pita wraps, a little pricing for what it is like $14. But that’s the going rate for lunch these days


And Ofcourse Billy’s Sub Shop. But that’s a bit of a hike.

I had walked into a best collateral store and sold a few unused electronic items. I had to give my drivers license and finger prints. Now, I feel very vulnerable that I had to share a lot of personal information. Does anyone see any risks disposing old items in this manner and sharing their personal info? It would be good if anyone can share their own experience. It would help alleviate my anxiety.

Having seen some of the wild stuff in the past couple years does anyone have a good pointer for a basic “medic” course? Help slow/stop the “oh sh*t” for the real folks to get there?

Is it me or are the salaries low because everyone wants to live in Denver?
