Meet the Mayor: The Haven
Welcome to "Meet the Mayor," a segment in which we interview local Foursquare Mayors in
their natural habitats.
The Haven
Matt Lee
So what makes the Haven such an, um, haven?
Well,
it's a really nice bar in Jamaica Plain. It's definitely less of a JP
bar, and by that I mean it's not full of dogs. I don't like bars that
are full of animals.
Puppies are cute, though.
Yeah,
dogs are fine. I don't hate dogs, but I don't want to go to a bar and
have a dog sniffing my leg while I'm trying to drink. I get that maybe
that's not a popular opinion in Jamaica Plain - but leave the dogs at
home.
Is haggis worth the hype?
I don't know. I'm a vegetarian. They make it here. I'm told it's very good. It's like a sheep's stomach full of oates and meat.
Your thoughts on dumpster diving?
It's
not for me. I feel like freeganism often takes things away from the
homeless, and that's not necessarily cool. There's a difference between a
homeless guy going into the trash can at Whole Foods and a college kid
who has an iPhone taking stuff out of the trash can. It's like, don't
buy the iPhone. Get some groceries.
What if you've got a hard on for an iPhone?
Seek medical attention.
