Ugh. I hate Monday's...but I LOVE me a good hot dog. If you don't really know what you're doing for lunch today, or perhaps you need a little pick me up snack...I suggest going to Speed's Hot Dogs. AMAZING! If you don't believe me, read their reviews on Yelp.

"Seriously amazing 8oz hot dogs in a massive roll, with all the custom fixin's. The BBQ sauce, chilli, and relish are all custom made in-house. Well, in-truck perhaps is more correct."

The Boston Dragon Boat Festival takes place annually on the banks of the Charles River in Boston and Cambridge. Starting in 1979, Boston Dragon Boat Festival, the first and oldest such festival in North America, has grown from a small neighborhood event commemorating the death in 200 B.C. of the beloved Chinese poet-patriot Qu Yuan to the largest Asian-American cultural event in New England, drawing more than 20,000 participants and spectators.

Each year, 30-40 teams from the US and Canada compete over a 500-meter course in an energetic race to the finish line. The teams practice in the spring to prepare for the June races, paddling in sleek, colorful 39-foot-Hong Kong-style dragon boats. Along with dragon boat races, the festival also presents performances from various Asian cultures, Asian food, and arts and crafts representing traditions of this ancient Chinese celebration.
