If you’ve ever been to a Cambridge or Boston area poetry reading, you’ve probably heard Charles Coe deliver one of his truths in his deep baritone voice. That voice resounds through Roberto Mighty’s short film, “Charles Coe: Man of Letters.”

A citizens’ group called Cambridge City Growers is launching an initiative to provide locally grown organic produce at no cost. The first public planting, which will include seeds for spinach, kale, arugula, tomatoes and beans, is scheduled for Saturday.

For takeout to make a sunny lockdown more enjoyable, travel from a coffee and scone at Simon’s to Mexican food at Rudy’s Cafe; delight in some Indian straight from Nirvana; and since summer weather demands seafood, buy sole and monkfish from The Fishmonger and a Whole Foods crabcake.

You may not want to wear these masks to prevent the spread of coronavirus – the cheapest is $200, and one is made of cedar bark – but the exhibits in Mobilia Gallery’s online “Ornamentation in the Age of Corona” succeed in its goal: bringing some joy during a difficult time.

Feed yourself well while in lockdown with fresh spring rolls, Middle Eastern food from Cafe Barada, some wood-fired thin crust from Flatbread Pizza, a gourmet meal from Season to Go and dessert ordered from Tia Mica’s Sugar Love.

Get an irresistible breakfast at Sarah’s Market & Cafe or savories that travel well from the Little Crepe Cafe, gourmet tastes of Asia from Yume Ga Arukara or Himalayan Kitchen, or celebrate the reopening of Gran Gusto with some fine dining at home, shaved truffle and all.

With the Covid-19 shutdown dragging on, more meal options will at least keep your taste buds lively. The Montrose Spa is still making perfection in sandwich form, The Druid has your comfort food, Redbones has reopened in Davis Square and Baraka Cafe and Cho Cho’s offer international flair.
