Whether you’re going stir-crazy with cabin fever, just severely low on beer, or hungry for a half-price burger, there are plenty of available options open to you during Winter Storm Juno. The MBTA might not be running, but if you’re willing to hoof it for a Cubano sandwich at Dave’s Fresh Pasta or a pint at the newly remodeled Bukowski Tavern in Cambridge, they’re ready and waiting for you.
