Tip of the ‘iceberg’: Are we approaching salad overload?
Here’s a short list of things you can do as you wait in line during the lunch rush at By Chloe, the new vegan restaurant in the Seaport (and yes, there will be a line):
Play a game and give yourself one point for each person wearing leggings, SoulCycle gear, or a Canada Goose jacket — double points if they’re wearing all three. Admire the restaurant’s design and wonder if you can find that same tile pattern for your kitchen. And, as you get your kale caesar bowl and settle in to eat, try to shake off the creeping feeling of deja vu.
Perhaps you and your waistline have noticed, but it’s now easier than ever to find healthy lunch options in Boston.
The concept is called fast-casual, and more than two dozen of these places have been launched in recent months in and around Boston, each offering stylish, quick meal service, and locally sourced variations on a theme. (Think grain + protein + kale served in a bowl at about a $10 price point.) Wander along Boylston Street, and it can seem a bit like salad row.
