Eat, Shop, Go

The first weekend of fall is officially here, and along with cooler weather, warmer sweaters, and the return of the pumpkin spice latte, Boston has a ton going on this weekend.  

Rhythm ’n Wraps

Originally a Cambridge-based food truck, Rhythm ’n Wraps opened a brick-and-mortar spot near West Campus in 2018. It now serves affordable plant-based pizza, sandwiches, wraps, salads, and entrées—including chili bowls and tacos. Try the crispy-fried tofu wrap, topped with kimchi, hoisin, pears, scallions, and toasted peanuts, or the ol’ school wrap, with smoked apple–sage vegan sausage, BBQ ranch dressing, and caramelized onions.

Rhythm ’n Wraps, 1096 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, is open from 11 am to 9 pm, Tuesday through Thursday, with extended hours Friday and Saturday and limited hours on Sunday; closed Mondays. Find more information here. 

Reformation
