I went to Boston for a conference recently and I got a chance to sample a few restaurants.
 
Number one is My Thai Vegan Cafe and Bubble Tea Bistro.  I ate there three times in four days!  I wish I could eat there every day forever.  It's in Chinatown at the corner of Washington and Beach Streets.  It's on the second floor; you have to walk up an ugly stairwell, but once you get upstairs it's a very nice, large restaurant space.  A Yelp reviewer accurately described the service as "inattentive" but it's not really bad and they whip up their wonderful food really quickly; so it all evens out.  I tried red curry with veggie-shrimp, pad Thai, stir fried rice noodles (Chinese style), "Choo Chee Fisherman," temple soup, and a mango/coconut bubble tea.  It was all delicious, though my favorites were the red curry and pad Thai.  The temple soup was really interesting: coconut milk, sweet potato, butternut squash and peanuts.  It was very rich and sweet and I couldn't help thinking it would make a delightful breakfast on a cold morning.  I'd like to try to recreate it.  Here's the menu to make you drool: http://www.bostonveg.org/restaurants/MyThaiCafeMenu.pdf  If you get the chance, go there!  ;)b

Right downstairs from My Thai is Pho Pasteur, a Vietnamese restaurant.  It's far from vegetarian, but it does have some vegetarian dishes.  I got Lemongrass Tofu.  It was good, not great, though I found the tofu itself to be far tastier than the stuff I buy at the store.  The place was a madhouse on Saturday night, but the staff was totally on top of things and found a place for 6 of us to sit without too long of a wait.

On Sunday, I had to find a place for lunch near the new conference center.  Some Yelp reviewers mentioned that Flour Bakery labels the vegan items on their menu; so I decided to give them a try (Farnsworth location).  They did have a few bakery items that were vegan, though I didn't try any of them.  I had their only vegan sandwich: grilled tofu.  It was pretty good.  The tofu itself was kind of boring, but there were also grilled zucchini, red peppers and onions with a kalamata olive spread that made it pretty tasty.  The thing about this place was that the young staff was friendly and efficient but it was insanely busy at 11:30 on Sunday morning.  And, apparently, it's the place to take your kids. About 90% of the tables had at least one child under 4 and one table had half a dozen of them.  It certainly was not a serene dining experience.  ::)

I tried to go to Wheeler's Ice Cream, but neither of the phone numbers I had found on the web was in service and, when I got there, they were closed (why would a place that sells sandwiches not open until 1:00 PM?).  They owe me $1.70 for the wasted T ride.  >:(

Last but certainly not least is Espresso Royale on Newbury Street.  I couldn't get there until my last day and had suffered through a number of minimalist breakfasts (e.g. a banana) before my meetings.  The two young people working there were very nice and the woman was able to point out three or four pastries that were vegan.  I got a cranberry scone with orange glaze, which was quite good, and a truly wonderful cup of English Breakfast tea (raw sugar and soy milk are on the fixins bar).  And I got a bagel with sun dried tomato tofu spread for the road.  A nice finish to my trip.  ;)b
