Tea and coffee with sugar to be outlawed in Cambridge restaurants

It's a simple proposal: Restaurants cannot serve ANY sugar sweetened drink in the city of Cambridge.  Thus if you want tea or coffee with sugar, (iced or hot) forget it.  It'll be fine to serve a huge glass of migraine-inducing liquid with that horrid aspartame-aftertaste, like Diet Pepsi, but it would be illegal for Starbucks to put a splash of a flavored sugar syrup in a hot beverage.  And forget about ever buying hot chocolate in a restaurant ever again in Cambridge (unless it's poisoned with aspartame).  

(edit:  I thought this was relevant to Davis Square because many people who spend time in Davis Square occasionally travel to the next town over.)

Hi Folks-- We're looking for a third roommate, and so I'm writing to spread the word.

Three-storey building, divided into two residences: landlords have upper 1.5, downstairs tenants have bottom 1.5. Available bedroom is one of the two bedrooms at top of stairs. Super landlords.

$430/month unfurnished room. Water included. Additional gas and electric split three ways. Non-coin-op washer/dryer in basement. Available room is modest-sized, painted in last two years, one window.

Existing tenants: two males, one working professional in early 30s, the other art teacher in early 40s. Very friendly Maine-coon cat also present. GLBT friendly house. Additional pets happily discusssed.

Generally low-key household in which people are satisfied to co-exist, pursue interests, work, and pet the severely underfed, acutely under-utilized cat.

fun places to drink and see live music around fenway? (apologies for non-davis-specific recs)

[tsuki-no-bara.livejournal.com]

i know this isn't davis square specific, and i apologize, but you guys have always come through for me in the past in terms of recs, so i figured i'd try. i'm asking for a friend of mine who's coming to boston for the baseball (she's a braves fan and also apparently a red sox fan), and because she's staying in copley and going to see a couple games, she's looking for cool places to get a post-game drink and maybe see some live music in the general fenway/back bay area. and i know nothing that could help her, because i don't hang around down there.

oh, wait, eastern standard.

anyway. other cool places to drink! and/or bars with live music! help?
