...Cambridge 1 is probably the best first-date restaurant in the Square, and it serves a mean thin-crust pizza to boot. It won’t break the bank despite its gourmet, fairly healthy toppings (arugula, grilled steak, black forest ham), and it has that perfect fancy-but-not-too-fancy ambiance...
Certainly the concept of mobile food-vending has long existed without the benefit of architectspeak. Mexican taco trucks have been part of the L.A. landscape for decades. And in recent years, other local food vendors have taken the humble truck concept gourmet.

Even more troubling...
...Crimson ranged from indifference to dismay. Some shop owners, such as Harvard Book Store Manager Mark C. Lamphier, said that they were unconcerned about the effect of the impending hike on their business, since the increase will be distributed uniformly across the state. Others, such as Cardullo's Gourmet Shop owner Francesca Cardullo, said that the increase was a nuisance for customers but that a 1.25 percent tax hike would have a negligible impact on sales...
