The fuel pumps were a little slow, but not to the point where I felt like pulling my hair out. In the end, this was the perfect place to stop to fuel up and after picking up a quick snack, I hit the road once more.

Rick's Place is a small convenience shop that sells good coffee and an array of bakery and other…read moreconvenience store-type foods like pre-packaged sandwiches, yogurt, bananas, juice, chips, granola bars, etc. It is located inside the 1 Ashburton Place state office building, so if you don't have a state employee ID card, you'll need to pass through the metal detector to get in. Most of what Rick's Place sells can be purchased in the much larger Ashburton Cafe cafeteria one floor below, but it saves you a few minutes and a flight of stairs. Plus, Rick's Place stays open later, which can be a figurative lifesaver for those days when you need a late-afternoon snack or you're so absorbed in your work that you completely miss lunch.

The Mass Turnpike travel plazas are basically a cookie cutter type of set up with the only…read morenoticeable difference being the size of their parking lots. The one in Natick does have ample parking and is quite maneuverable. What I like about the travel plazas --- They have Papa Gino's pizza. I once read that the pizza one eats while growing up imprints on you regarding pizza type preferences. Papa Gino's is what I grew up on when it came to pizza. We didn't get take out pizza much as kids but when we did, it was always Papa Gino's. We hadn't had Papa Gino's in years so I seized the opportunity to get a slice while at the travel plaza. So...I ordered 2 slices (one for each of us). My husband and I can both say the pizza is as good as we remembered it to be. Sometimes chain pizza joints tinker with their recipe so we were pleased to see that Papa Gino's adheres to the old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". For us, it was a real treat to have a slice. The rest of the travel plaza was clean, including the bathrooms, which we appreciated. Next time we use the Turnpike, we will make it a point to stop in a travel plaza yet again, if only for the pizza.

These service plazas are really starting to tick me off…read more I'd like to give it a higher rating, because it's clearly named after my good friend from Yelp Buffalo: Naitik. Unfortunately, I can't, because the gas is more expensive than 98.4% of the other Boston area alternatives, and the workers here are none-too-friendly, either. The food choices here are crappy fast food, cold french fries, expensive, and so on. However just for the sheer convenience of having this right off the highway on the way into Beantown, I'll give it a 2 rather than a Juan. But it's really Nat somewhere I'd stop on purpose.

We picked up some sandwiches from the wide selection in the case, and found them to be very full and fresh (we avoided the Dunkin' inside because diets). There was also a hot case with fried foods, which were tempting (but, again, diets). The pumps had long lines (very good prices for gas) and the store was full, some waiting for coffee and doughnuts, others on the other side of the store buying lottery tickets, newspapers and food. If we do this route again, this was the half-way point, and would stop next time.

Located across the street from Stork Laundry, EVS is a tiny little mom-and-pop shop that offers…read moretypical convenience store goodies + lotto as well as key services and Richie's Italian Ice. My boyfriend and I stumbled across here on our way home from a late lunch at Salsa's. During our walk, we saw several people holding cups piled high with colorful ice scoops and made a beeline for EVS after seeing a poster for ITALIAN ICE in the doorway - an absolutely fantastic idea! I highly suggest stopping in during a hot day for a cup of Richie's Italian Ice (still sold out of Richie's Classic Italian Slush store in Everett, MA). It is only $1.75 for a small, which is just enough to be refreshing, especially after a full belly of mexican fare. They offer several flavors: lemon, mango, watermelon, blue raspberry, and cotton candy. My boyfriend got lemon and I got mango. Both were delicious, but lemon was definitely the star. It tasted extremely lemony and a little tart with a perfect frozen consistency, whereas the mango was a little too sweet and started to melt halfway home (it is currently in my freezer). The Asian couple (who I assume own the store) are very friendly (you may just be greeted with a "Happy Friday!"). You can see the owner easily, as his office area is conveniently located behind the counter in the back corner - ha! As we continued our walk home, I noticed Andrew Square Convenience (right down the street from my apartment!) also offers Richie's Italian Ice. I've never actually been inside, but I'd head to EVS just to see the sweet owners once again. It is much more pleasant being greeted with a smile compared to the snarky looks I receive at some local convenience stores (yes, Tedeschi, that is mostly referring to you) - worth the extra walk!
