Hey Boston fediverse!
I'm looking for places to eat outdoors in Boston, with coverage if there is rain. Any suggestions?
Searching is proving difficult, especially for finding info on if there is coverage outdoors.
Update: I asked before, and got great recommendations, but I'm finding the covered outdoors part difficult to confirm.

it alternately sucks in and then releases the segments, so they appear as divots in a rubbery surface

After two weeks of deliberation, today the esteemed Laurelhurst Community Council generously agreed to let sick and severely injured airlifted children live instead of die from unnecessarily delayed care in an unnecessary ambulance ride a mile away from Seattle Childrenโs.
I spend enough time going to the hardware store to buy random objects that I have thought about whether it would save money to just buy the store instead.
also then I could install a shop cat.
