Edge of the Woods, the vegetarian market on Whalley Avenue, has my respect. It’s an independent family business with multiple departments and actual principles—a hard line to walk for one year let alone 47.

Palate Intrigue
There are nine vegetarian entrees at Lalibela, the Ethiopian place on Temple Street, and it turns out you can try at least eight of them at once.
