PlantPub Opens 2nd Location in Boston

Have you heard about Plantpub?  Plantpub is redefining the pub experience in America and offers a 100% plant based menu featuring classic American favorites and local New England ales and craftbeers.  This is a major accomplishment in the vegan and plant based restaurant scene.  Plantpub opened in the Fall of 2021 and they’re now opening a new 8,000 sq ft location this spring which will be situated across the street from Boston’s Fenway Park.  


It’s hard to believe that classic comfort and sports bar favorites can be 100% plant based but Plantpub is making this happen.  The menu features items such as 

Loaded Nachos





Pulled Pork Sandwich






Buffalo Wings






Chicken Caesar Salad





Fried Chicken Sandwich






                      An Array of pizzas (Wild Mushroom Truffle & Margherita)







The menu offers gluten free, soy free and nut free versions which great for people with nut allergies ; ) and sensitivity to gluten.  Guys, you don’t know how excited I am to hear about Plantpub! Look at how amazing this vegan food looks.  You know sometimes vegetarians and vegans get a bad wrap from out meat eater friends.  People often turn up their noses and say comments like “ewww… vegan? I want real meat and real cheese.” Or “I could never give up eating meat!”  Plantpub is proof that plant based or vegan food can be as delicious as the non-vegan versions.


Plantpub was founded by celebrity Chef, Mary Dumont & craft beer entrepreneur, Pat McAuley who went plant based for personal health and also for the planet.  Their mission is to make plant based food “fun for  all.”’  They clearly are accomplishing just that with the opening of their 2nd location.  That was a brilliant idea to open across from famed stadium, Fenway Park. The new space will be able to seat up to 300 people. 

It’s been a while since I visited Boston but I can promise that I’ll be touching down again very soon (yes, just to visit Plantpub) hahahha!!  I can only wish that Plantpub founders (later on down the line) think about opening a location in Times Square. As a Yelp Elite member, I will make a review for the Boston location. I know it will be good! Cheers to you Plant Pub!!!!


The newest Plantpub location can be accessed at:


61 Brookline Ave
Boston, MA 02215

The other location is in Cambridge, MA

675 W Kendall St
Cambridge, MA 02142

The FDA has moved to finally ban Red Dye No. 3 from use in food and drugs in America.  Red Dye No. 3 was first determined to be a cancer causing color additive almost 30 years ago.  Studies conducted using labs rats found that they became inflicted with the disease after consuming large amounts of Red dye No. 3.  Thirty years ago, the FDA officially banned Red Dye No. 3 from use in cosmetics but left the door open for it to be used as a color additive in food and prescription drugs.  By January 2027, the FDA has ordered that Red Dye No 3 must be removed from all food in the USA and by 2028--from all drugs.

A protester from the organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), disrupted a speech being given by Pharrell Williams at a Biopic Premiere in Toronto.  She rushed the stage with a white sign in her hand that read:  Pharrell: Stop Supporting Killing Animals for Fashion.  Pharrell was in Toronto to support his LEGO biopic entitled, Piece by Piece.   The protester directed a number of statements towards Pharrell and the audience concerning his role as men's creative director at Louis Vuitton.   "Your Louis Vuitton collection … Pharrell’s collection is made from their blood,” the protester shouted to the audience. “Pharrell stop torturing animals!
