Michael Schlow (yes, that Michael Schlow) is none too happy with how long the streets along Boylston are blocked off. In two tweets tonight, he writes:
Boston Marathon Monday, you'd think we'd showcase the beauty here instead of all the barricades ... looks like martial law has been imposed.
So utterly stupid. ... no valet allowed, barricades everywhere, streets are empty ... the marathon isn't for 2 days!!!

Ben and Jerry's and b.good face off, angrily no doubt, on Dunster Street between 4 and 6 p.m. Both'll have truck on the street giving out samples - ice cream for Ben and Jerry and milkshakes (milkshakes? That's what she said). And they'll be collecting donations for the Boston Back on My Feet, a homeless support group. Whichever company's truck collects the most donations will then claim Boston ice-cream-truck supremacy.

So Anthony Bourdain's Boston show is coming up on the Travel Channel soon, and they've put up a clip of him knocking back a few with a couple of boyos "here in Southie," at the Savin Hill Yacht Club. Which is in, um, Dorchester.

These days, Marc Levy can afford to buy a sandwich or two at Diesel. But he recalls his unemployment days when he'd spent hours there slowly munching on a bag of its day-old bagels - or furtively consuming the granola he'd stored in his backpack:

The Boston Licensing Board yesterday issued a one-week license suspension for Brothers Liquors, 616 Shawmut Ave., following a hearing in which Boston and Northeastern police detectives described the ease with which underage Northeastern students were purchasing liquor there - by having it delivered.
The board also issued an additional one-week license suspension, but suspended that for six months - meaning it will only go into effect if the store gets into additional trouble during that period.

Java Jo's across from the Forest Hills T stop is being transmogrified into an outlet for the Needham-based Fazenda Coffee Roasters, which promises "small batch-roasted coffee with a sandwich and pastry menu."
Ed. lame note: If they called it Tazenda, they could attract fans of Azimov's Foundation series, although that might not be a large enough market on which to base a business.

THURSDAY UPDATE: The Licensing Board voted to let the two restaurants re-open. However, it set Roast Beast's closing time at 7 p.m. - owners had asked for midnight.
The Boston Licensing Board ordered Roast Beast on Comm. Ave. and the Millennium Restaurant and Grill on Washington Street to shut today because they don't have licenses to serve food.

Chef Todd English says he hopes to re-open his fire-damaged Olives restaurant by July - but without the wood-fired ovens the place has used since it opened 21 years ago.
English told the Boston Licensing Board that after two fires - the last a grease fire last May - he realized he had to go with a new ventilation system - and gas-fired ovens.
English was before the board to explain why Olives has been shut - and its liquor license unused - for nearly a year. The board decides Thursday whether to grant English more time to repair Olives or strip him of the liquor license.

The Finance Foodie reports on the 40th-anniversary dinner at Grendel's Den in Harvard Square, which included a speech by longtime eater and constitutional law scholar Laurence Tribe:
To be honest, I kind of tuned out as the Prof waxed poetic because the spinach pie that I had as my main course was massive and delicious -- and required much concentration to eat!
