On January 23–25 at the Taste of Chocolate Festival, enjoy special chocolate treats—from appetizers and desserts to cocktails—at several restaurants throughout the square, or simply show up at Deguglielmo Plaza in front of 25 Brattle St. on January 24 from 1–2 p.m. to sample chocolate goodies from some of the area’s finest purveyors. If you prefer your cuisine on the savory side, then return to that same spot for the seventh annual Some Like it Hot Chili Cook- off on January 31 from 1–2:30 p.m., where free samples from some of Harvard Square’s hottest (no pun intended) eateries are available. Diners can then cast their votes for their favorites while listening to live musical entertainment. For more information, visit harvardsquare.com. WHAT BOSTON’S BUZZING ABOUT CHOWING DOWN FOR A CAUSE 1.19.15 Head to the North End and feast on some of Boston’s best Italian food while supporting a good cause at the 10th annual CityFeast on January 25 starting at 6 p.m. Begun in 2005 by restaurateur Carla Agrippino Gomes, CityFeast brings together some of the North End’s finest restaurants to raise money for the Joslin Diabetes Center’s High Hopes Fund.

Three years after that seminal moment, a photo essay on his home town in Kansas was scheduled to be published, yet it never saw print. Lucky for us, those pictures are now on view at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts (refer to listing, page 19) as part of the exhibit Gordon Parks: Back to Fort Scott. Appropriately enough, this rare look at the pre-Civil Rights movement life of African Americans can be seen as part of the MFA’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration on January 19, which offers art lovers free admission and special performances and displays throughout the day. A VOICE FROM HISTORY Perhaps one of the most significant singers you’ve never heard of, Roland Hayes (1887–1977) was the first internationally renowned African American singer, performing before European royalty years before ground- breaking artists like Paul Robeson and Marian Anderson found fame. Hayes, a son of slaves, settled in the Boston area after becoming the first African American soloist to perform with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Playwright Daniel Beaty and actor/singer Elijah Rock (pictured) bring Hayes’ story to life live on stage in Breath & Imagination (refer to listing, page 16) at the Paramount Center beginning January 27. In this award-winning show, an older Hayes reflects on his struggles and successes as he contemplates closing the music school he opened on the Georgia plantation where his mother was once a slave. FROM THE BIG APPLE TO BEANTOWN When a beloved, acclaimed restaurant closes, its shoes can be hard to fill. Such is the case with the late, lamented French eatery Radius, which shuttered its Financial District space at 10 High St. in 2013. What better way to re-christen the address than by opening a brand-new location for a renowned franchise that already has a rabid following? Such is the case with New York transplant Serafina Boston (serafinaboston.com). Offering light Italian fare and its signature thin-crust pizzas, Serafina has grown from its first location, opened in 1995, to more than 20 outposts in New York, Philadelphia and worldwide. The Hub version not only boasts crispy pies featuring homemade tomato sauce, but also plenty of freshly made pasta and seafood dishes, all served in a Tuscan- inspired atmosphere. —Scott Roberto TOP: GORDON PARKS, HUSBAND AND WIFE, SUNDAY MORNING, DETROIT, MICHIGAN, 1950; MIDDLE PHOTO: MICHAEL LAMONT BOSTONGUIDE.COM 7 HIGH 5 BOSTON DINERS Grab breakfast, lunch and more at these bastions of classic American cuisine SOUTH STREET DINER (178 Kneeland St., 617-350- 0028, southstreetdiner.com): Looking for great grub—from tuna melts to omelets to French toast— in the wee hours of the morning?

    The original source for data in this spreadsheet is a 2002 study for MassDEP by Draper/Lennon, Inc. titled Identification, Characterization, and Mapping of Food Waste and Food Waste Generators in Massachusetts . The final report from this study is available online at: http://www.mass.gov/dep/about/priorities/foodwast.doc. The data was updated in summer 2011 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 office. This study identified large generators of food waste in Massachusetts, such as food processors, wholesalers, grocery stores, institutions, and large restaurants. It calculated estimated food waste generation, shown in tons per year (TPY) in column G, and mapped generator locations to facilitate planning of programs and facilities for capturing source separated organic materials for composting or other diversion. Note that waste generation estimates are not available for food and beverage manufacturers/processors and distributors due to the variability in these sectors. In some other cases, generation estimates are not available for other facilities when data needed to estimate generation is missing for that location. Facility Category Codes in column F marked TYPE show generator groupings in the report as follows: Type Category Description Food and Beverage F Manufacturers/Processors W Wholesale Distributors IH Institutions -Healthcare Facilities IS Institutions -Independent Schools IC Institutions -Colleges/Universities IP Institutions -Correctional Facilities C Resorts and Conference Facilities G Supermarkets and Grocery Stores R Restaurants Most of the columns in the spreadsheet are self‐explanatory. Columns H, I J, and K provide GIS mapping coordinates to assist in locating food waste generators. The Massachusetts State Plane coordinates found in the X_Coord and Y_Coord fields (Columns J and K) were derived by address‐ matching via Navteq Postal Villages.
