Katie Johnston Chase compares the South End's so-hip-it-hurts Beehive with staid, boring chain-y Cheesecake Factory at the Cambridgeside Galleria and concludes she'd rather go with the cheesecake:

... I'm all for supporting local businesses over chains, and I'm all for checking out new places, especially when they have live music, but these hot spots can be a major pain. I'm not sure when I'll have the energy to go back to the buzzing Beehive, but I'm already thinking about making another trip to the Factory.
