Everyone has those days every once in a while. No matter the problem, whether it be relationships, your job, your friends, school, or even that coffee you spilled down the front of your shirt the second you stepped out of your door, we’ve all been in a place where we just want to give up right then right there.
However, I encourage you to instead take a breath, take a break, grab a bite, and figure things out from there. And what better way to do that than devour your favorite guilty pleasures to make all your troubles go away, even if only for a few bites. Through the ups and the downs, our favorite indulgences have our backs. Here I present a few options for you to eat your feelings all over Boston.
