Description of Grasshopper from Zagat's 2002 Restaurant Guide:

"As filling for the soul as for the stomach", this Asian storefront in Allston attracts both vegetarians and dilettantes with its "impressive variety of completely vegetarian dishes" -- "tofu as mouthwatering as a steak", "surprisingly good faux meat ("you'd never know it wasn't the real thing)", and "hearty" noodle dishes, ... it's a "rare breed" that provides a "refreshing" change of pace.

Zagat's ranks their food "very good to excellent", and out of 900 restaurants surveyed, Grasshopper ranks #25 in their "Top Bangs for the Buck" list!

Boston Vegetarian Society, P. O. Box 38-1071, Cambridge, MA 02238-1071

Location:
Grasshopper (an all vegan restaurant)
One North Beacon Street, Union Square, Allston, MA

Cost: $15 per person includes tax & service

Directions: The intersection where Grasshopper is located (the intersection of Cambridge St., Brighton Ave, and North Beacon St.) is called "Union Square" in Allston. The Jackson Mann School is on one side, Grasshopper is on the opposite side, and Twin Donuts is on another side.

The closest subway stop is Allston St. (Green Line B car - Commonwealth Ave. line). Get off there, take a right on Allston St. (assuming you were facing outbound). Follow Allston St. to where it ends at Brighton Ave. Turn left (at Burger King) and walk 50 yards or so to Union Sq. Grasshopper is on the opposide side of the square.

The #66 bus goes From Dudley Station via Harvard St. in Brookline to Union Square, and from there to Harvard Square. The #66 is definitely the fastest way to get there from Harvard Square. Buses run every 20 minutes or less, except on Sundays (and holidays?) when the bus runs every 20 - 35 minutes.

The #57 bus goes from Kenmore Station to Watertown Square, and passes through Union Square.

The #64 Bus (Oak Square -- University Park or Kendall Sq. via Central Square) also goes through Union Square.

BY CAR --

Free street parking.
From Kenmore Square in Boston, stay right at the fork and get onto Commonwealth Avenue. Continue on Comm. Ave. and when it bends to the left (trolley tracks will bend to the left) you go *straight* onto Brighton Ave. Continue several blocks into Union Square. You will see Twin Donuts ahead.
Grasshopper is on the right side of the intersection.

From Storrow Drive, turn onto Cambridge Street (opposite the River Street Bridge) and follow it straight into Union Square. (Cambridge St. becomes North Beacon St. in Union Square.) Grasshopper is on your right.

From Mass Pike, take Exit 18 toward Allston/Brighton.
Get on Cambridge St. and follow it straight into Union Square. (Cambridge St. becomes North Beacon St. in Union Square.) Grasshopper is on your right.

Food Not Bombs

Food Not Bombs shares free vegetarian food with hungry people and protests war and poverty throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Food Not Bombs is organizing for an end to the occupations of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine.

We also support actions against the globalization of the economy, restrictions to the movements of people and the destruction of the earth.

Food Not Bombs is an all volunteer organization dedicated to nonviolence.

Food Not Bombs has no formal leaders and strives to include everyone in its decision making process.

Each group recovers food that would otherwise be thrown out and makes fresh hot vegetarian meals that are served in city parks to anyone without restriction.

The groups also serve free vegetarian meals at protests and other events.

Food Not Bombs works in coalition with groups like Earth First!, The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee, Anarchist Black Cross, the IWW, Homes Not Jails, Anti Racist Action, In Defense of Animals, the Free Radio Movement and other organizations on the cutting edge of positive social change and resistance to the new global austerity program.

We hope you will join us in taking direct action towards creating a world free from domination, coercion and violence.

Food is a right, not a privilege.
