fries1) ORDER FRIED FOOD AT REDBONES TO HELP FUEL THE BIODIESEL REVOLUTION
Once you’ve arrived at this Davis Square beer-and-barbecue mecca (redbones.com), sidle up to the bar, spin the beer wheel to select your brew, and order some fries, or “onion strings,” or the redoubtable catfingers. Then pat yourself on the back, secure in the knowledge that the fryer oil in which they’re cooked will soon be donated to Brighton’s Green Grease Monkey, which will convert it to biodegradable, low-emission biodiesel fuel. Seldom has saving the planet been so delectably artery-clogging. (Take the T if you must, but biking there is better, given the joint’s long-standing support for MassBike and the New England Mountain Bike Association. And parking’s no problem — Redbones has its own bike valet.)

    I meet world-renowned undersea photojournalist Brian Skerry at Legal Seafoods, across from the New England Aquarium, where he's the explorer in residence. He orders a chicken Caesar salad.
  •   REVISITING THE GREATEST HARVARD-YALE GAME  |  November 18, 2009
    It takes some doing to make Harvard look like an underdog in anything. But Harvard Beats Yale, 29-29 — Kevin Rafferty's 2008 movie (out now on DVD) and new book (released this past month) about the famous football rivalry — does just that.

  •   REVIEW: PIRATE RADIO  |  November 16, 2009
    A rusty, red-painted trawler bobs in the waves of the North Atlantic. Inside is a claustrophobic warren of rooms: tiny, brine-smelling bunks, a well-stocked bar, and, crucially, a broadcast booth, its shelves crammed with the latest 45s and LPs, its turntables manned in shifts by a motley squad of hirsute rogues.
