What we had:<\/strong> The opening day of Mei Mei drew us out to this spot. Our lunch was "Beef & Cheese Dumplings," "Porky Mac & Cheese," "Supah Spicy Magic Brownies," and "Crimson Berry Iced Tea." <\/p>\n

Hours and dates:<\/strong> So far, some Tuesday through Friday lunch and dinner slots are filled here. <\/p>\n

Tips:<\/strong> If you crave shade on a summer afternoon, the open space east of the building where the truck parks is a nice strip of shady grass that everyone seems to use for sitting and walking between streets.<\/p>\n

And, if you are visiting the Museum of Fine Arts<\/a>, a visit to a food truck might be just the break you need in a long day of viewing treasures.<\/p>\n

Where to Eat:<\/strong> There are benches up towards the museum, grassy lawns for picnic style dining, stone seating on Forsyth Street and a few tables in front of a Northeastern building on the corner. <\/p>\n

Where to eat inside:<\/strong> We'll leave this one to you. Let us know if you have a good idea for a place to dine inside in the winter. <\/p>\n

Restrooms:<\/strong> You could check in the Northeastern campus buildings where the public is allowed. If you're a member of the Museum of Fine Arts, you can use your free admission to access their facilities. If you know of a spot or two, add them to the Universal Hub Wicked Good Guide to Boston Restrooms<\/a> so the rest of us can find them. <\/p>\n
