The first stop on the three-hour walking and tasting tour was Maria’s Pastry Shop, five minutes from the Haymarket station on the T’s green line. The skepticism I had for the tour and the North End lasted all of 15 minutes. It faded when Topor herself intoned “there’s no such thing...

...dance, music and painting, sattvik (vegetarian) food, accommodation, ayurvedic massage, and so on. In between coconut groves and rice paddies, cafes and eateries catering to foreigners have sprung up. An Austrian Caf? loudly announces itself with an orange-and-blue sign; not very far away is a Subway sandwich shop. But the locals are largely unaware of their city's status among the international yoga jet-set. Many do not even recognize famous teachers' names. The visitor, in fact, may be better off asking directions from a foreigner - at least when they're trying to find a famous yoga teacher...
