I've really enjoyed sandwiches from Vinal General Store near Union Square in Somerville. They're on the pricier side (the ciabatta can put you above $15, but on their country loaf, sandwiches are more like $10-11.

If you're making a short move (like from one apartment to another in the same city), you can also look into reusable moving supplies. We did this for a move and it was 1) incredibly convenient 2) didn't require taping up and breaking down 1 million fucking boxes 3) stacked BEAUTIFULLY in the moving van 4) were CLEAN and I wasn't paranoid we were bringing home bugs or mold.

I used to be TERRIBLE at this, but I started a habit that has helped me to this day. If I've been in a room and I'm leaving it with no immediate intention to do something important, can I put something out of place away? For example, right now there is a bag of cookies that I was eating for breakfast on the coffee table. The next time I go into the kitchen, I can take that bag of cookies in. At the end of the day, I usually walk through the apartment and kind of do a quick pick up: clothing, remotes put away, dishes that have escaped the kitchen put in the sink, any trash put in a trash can, etc. It does go a long way to making it easier to get started on your deep cleaning if you're not decluttering just to be able to clean.

The easy answer is to set your intention for the coat (commuting to work and general wear, snow sports, working outside), set a budget and look for some decent coats and try them on in-person. There typically aren’t temperature ratings because temperature is extremely personal. I usually don’t wear a winter coat until it’s well below freezing.

For a climate that is below freezing for multiple days or weeks on end, but not an extremely harsh climate, I’d go for a shell and liner type coat. This is typically a water-resistant outer coat with little or no insulation and a fleece jacket that zips inside. The lowest I’d be willing to go to insure that you still get good use out of it is Columbia. Other brands that will be useful for many years are Obermeyer, Patagonia, or nearly any brand carried by REI. Ski/snowboard equipment like Burton is decent and Lands End or LLBean in the US is also a decent bet. REI and Patagonia have used marketplaces online if you know your size and what you want. I personally would not go to a secondhand store unless it was high end consignment or very well taken care of.

Avoid Canada Goose or luxury brands that don’t specialize in outerwear.

I feel like Boston and surrounding areas have great walkability islands connected by driving.
