...Thursday through Saturday, the New Theatre on Holyoke Street features a group that makes Kiss look like performers in a grade school Christmas play. The Tubes are synonomous with the word outrageous. Their lead singer goes under the name "Quay Lude" and song titles run along the lines of "Mondo Bondage" and "White Punks on Dope." Draw your own conclusions...
...pizzas and decent Greek food all night long Thursday through Saturday. On any other night the only place to go for munchies after 2 a.m. is Dunkin' Doughnuts (in Central Square); it is a short hitch, but at times thumbing it is putting your life on the line. Mondo's (in Haymarket Square in Boston) is well worth the trip if you have got a car. Clientele ranges from truck drivers to spiritual descendants of Oscar Wilde, denizens of the North End dressed in sunglasses. Fedoras, dark shirts and wide white ties sit elbow to elbow with shoulder length longhairs...
...their hours for the summer and close at 2 a.m. If you're really hungry and it's past 2, Dunkin Donuts (616 Mass Ave at Central Square) never closes.

There are good reasons for Paul's retirement to be doubtful. For one thing, it would tend to reduce the office of Christ's Vicar on Earth by giving it a Protestant-style, temporal term...
...blocks from Durgin Park (on Haymarket Square) is Mondo's, a sober truck stop with a great juke. Tucked inconspicuously between two blackened buildings, it's relatively simple, except for its one charmingly vulgar extravagance. On the most prominent wall hangs an immense oil painting of a nude with crimson lipstick, enormous entrees, and a torso elongated beyond the elasticity of the human anatomy. The obvious, but affable errors in the painting speak well for Mondo's as a restaurant. It gets away with a great deal because it's a truck stop and people there wear white socks...
