In the February issue of the
Friedman Sprout, the Friedman School's graduate student publication, M.E. Malone
describes the innovative Panera Cares cafe in Boston:
Walk into the 1-month-old Panera Cares community café in Center Plaza across from Boston City Hall and look around. Notice anything different? There are great scents, a line at the counter, laptop-tapping at a nearby table, pleasantries exchanged about the weather – all the usual sights and sounds of a weekday morning caffeine rush.
But unlike the Panera cafés you may have visited before, this one doesn’t have prices listed next to the items on the menu board. Instead, there are suggested contributions. And, if you choose, you don’t have to pay anything at all for your meal.
The Sprout also includes a review of the New England Journal of Medicine's list of
weight loss myths, ways to
keep active in Boston, and more.
