Being bright red, it was easy to spot this little glove sitting abandoned among the leaves. This is the first lost glove spotted on my walks this season.
It looked new, so I moved it to a more visible location on a nearby fence hoping it might be reunited with its mate.

What's open in Boston on Thanksgiving, 2013? What's closed?

With or without a Boston area college graduation in your family, you'll likely need to coordinate your dining and travel plans around the spring 2014 commencement ceremonies. We're running this very early because so many readers have been making their way to last year's post.
And, it helps vistors to Boston understand why hotel rooms are so expensive and restaurant reservations so scarce on some dates in May. The experts who guide Boston visitors over on Trip Advisor are already answering questions about spring visits to the city.
Reservations at area restaurants will be harder to find May 9th through 11th with Mother's Day and six commencements, and scarce May 16th through 19th when twelve schools, including BU and BC, will hold ceremonies. Harvard commencement is May 29th and MIT June 6th – each of these schools is large enough to have an impact on its own. Harvard can also interfere with traffic as they move busloads of people from one place to another around event time.
To help you plan your dining options in May and early June, here are the dates of the major commencement ceremonies for your 2014 calendar.
If you know of a college or university graduation date that we missed, send us a comment.
Thanks to everyone who supports us by beginning their Amazon shopping from here. It doesn't cost you anymore but when you click on an Amazon link like this one, they put a few coins in our tip cup.
The perfect gift for a graduate!

Most places have special menus and sometimes set seatings for major holidays. Many will require a deposit or credit card number to place a reservation.
We publish these holiday reservation reminders early so that our readers can get a head start and grab a reservation at a worthy spot. We'll keep adding updates as more places announce their intention to open and menus.
What Boston Area Restaurants Are Open on Thanksgiving?
Hotel restaurants are normally open on all holidays. In Boston, this means some excellent choices including:
More recommendations after this word on supporting BostonZest when you shop at Amazon. Here's a link to some of the best deals they have today. Once this link takes you to Amazon, we'll be credited for any shopping you do during this session.
Master Lists of Boston Restaurants Open for Thanksgiving.
The reservation site Open Table is maintaining a list of restaurants with Thanksgiving menus. Listings include a price and information on offerings beyond traditional holiday fare. Remember, there are many more restaurants open that day. Put a time and number of guests into the system to see exactly what is available.
Here are a few that we can recommend from the long Open Table list.
La Voile on Newbury Street always plans a special meal for the neighbors who love this small French charmer.
If you have been a fan of Upstairs on the Square, this will be their last Thanksgiving because they are closing. It might be a fun choice for a final fling.
Bistro du Midi always serves a wonderful meal and if you want lighter fare their Café will be open at 11 AM.
Open Table even includes some places outside the city if you are meeting up with family and friends who live in the suburbs. And, they can help you find a place to enjoy the holiday meal if you'll be away for the long weekend.
Sel de la Terre has always had a wonderful holiday menu and the Natick location would be good for meeting people from that part of the area. We certainly miss their Boston locations.
Eastern Standard in Kenmore Square will be open all day starting with breakfast and will serve Thanksgiving dinner from 1-8 PM
L'Espalier in the Back Bay will showcase the harvest from Chef McClelland's Apple Street Farm and will offer a three course prix fixe menu or for a special holiday treat a degustation menu.
Over on the Boston Chowhound Board the hounds came up with Durgin Park as the perfect solution for a group of trainees who found themselves in Boston over the holiday. (Bad Website warning: the Durgin Park site has cheesy music and you have to click events to get to the holiday offering.)
