Raw Food folks?

I just went raw (YAY!) and I'm frustrated by the lack of raw food options for both restaurants and stores in the area. I can't afford to take the train out to Beverly every time I want to eat out! And I'm wondering if anyone else knows of secret/independent restaurants and stores in the area that wouldn't be obvious that they have a good selection, or just one or two really good things, for a raw diet?

I know that the fresh made juices at Blue Shirt are raw (some of them anyway), and that's been useful and fun. And I just found raw nori (not roasted/toasted) at the Asian market in Union Square. (The Asian market in Porter didn't have it, surprisingly, and the Asian market in Central went out of business.) And I know about the Harvest Coop, Whole Foods, and Cambridge Naturals.

Anyone else raw here? Any other suggestions?

Years ago I'd fantasized about some raw place that shipped a couple of day's worth of meals weekly. But that's just not my style. I try to live simply, and shipping fancy food from several states away isn't so simple :-)

And as I said in my original post, the raw group in my area isn't really in my area, it's about 10 miles away or something. Which is about an hour or more bike ride or more on the bus/train. And Meet-up doesn't have a group yet for Boston, I checked. I'm thinking I might have to organize one, but meeting space is always a problem. (Why aren't there community centers that can host community meetings like this?)

Oh, and speaking of miso soup... I make a mean Raw Carrot Apple Ginger Miso soup!
