How, exactly, do you party like it’s 2009? One option is by hitting up Studio Rouge , where the disco-dancing, sequins-wearing days of Studio 54 meet the sultry, corset¬donning ladies of Moulin Rouge at Vinalia (101 Arch Street, Boston, 617.737.1777)... Read More »

Sunday, January 4: Glasvegas

by Liza Weisstuch | December 11, 2008

As rational and comforting as the five stages of grief identified by Elizabeth Kübler-Ross may be, when it strikes, rationalization goes out the window. We’ve known songs, books, and movies that strive to capture the anguish and despair, but few have... Read More »

Through Sunday, December 21: Urban Nutcracker

by Liza Weisstuch | December 11, 2008

Sleigh bells ring, but we’re not listening. Not to sound too bah-humbug, but the whole laughing-all-the-way/chestnuts-roasting/mommy-kissing-Santa-Claus thing can get a little wearisome year after year. That’s why we’re always grateful to Tony Williams... Read More »

Outtake: Take the Cannoli
