Eat, drink, and be preppy

by Heather Bouzan | May 05, 2008
Trust us: it's not like we need convincing to jet (or ferry) off to Nantucket for an extended springtime weekend. But the 12th annual Nantucket Wine Festival , held May 14 through 18, is the perfect excuse to do so. The event features an extensive...

CONSIDER YOURSELF warned: if you stop by Luna Boston (205 Newbury Street, Boston, 866.910.3900) to pick up these gorgeous Bellissima mirrors (just minor splurges at $24 to $26 apiece), we can't promise that you'll leave without a slightly pricier...

Grab bag

by Heather Bouzan | April 07, 2008
What's the fun in breezing through a department store in search of this season's It Bag? Sometimes we prefer the intrigue of an eBay browse, a sample sale, or the second annual "What's in a Bag?" handbag auction at the Boston Harbor...

South End sampler

by Heather Bouzan | March 10, 2008
We keep a running tally of restaurants we've still yet to try tucked in our planner. But no matter how frequently we dine out, the scribbled list keeps growing and growing. Our solution? This year's Taste of the South End , which features generous...

Rock the runway

by Heather Bouzan | March 10, 2008

Zox at Harpers Ferry

by Heather Bouzan | February 25, 2008
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29 Rock stars are often forced to make sacrifices, whether it's choosing the band over the girl, the band over the sensible haircut, or in Zox frontman Eli Miller's case, the band over Stanford Law. Yup, these are smart boys:...

Publick domain

by Heather Bouzan | February 25, 2008
We've long enjoyed sipping our way through the lengthy beer list at the Publick House (1648 Beacon Street, Brookline, 617.277.2880), so we're overjoyed at the prospect of stocking our fridge with the pub's eclectic brews. The result of years...

Dumped chumps

by Heather Bouzan | February 25, 2008
We've read plenty of stories about weepy, whiny women who've been dumped, thankyouverymuch. But guys getting kicked to the curb? Freaking hilarious. In Things I've Learned from Women Who've Dumped Me (Grand Central Publishing, 2008; $23...

A Brighton idea

by Heather Bouzan | February 25, 2008
If you ask us, throwing a few back at Southie's Boston Beer Garden, a comfortable, camaraderie-filled sports bar, is what drinking's all about. And if the formula works, why not stick with it? Now, the Brighton Beer Garden (386 Market Street,...

Lock & Key Party at Lir

by Heather Bouzan | February 06, 2008
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14 The Boston singles scene is often compared to an awkward eighth-grade dance: girls hanging on one side, boys on the other, and never the twain shall meet. But Anthem Entertainment is getting the conversations going with their second...

Luxe life

by Heather Bouzan | February 06, 2008
We're not suggesting you put off your next mani-pedi until springtime, but here's something to look forward to: MiniLuxe (792 Beacon Street, Newton Centre, 617.332.9200) will open a new Back Bay location (296 Newbury Street, Boston) in April....

Love's a ball

by Heather Bouzan | February 06, 2008
Don't expect to head home solo from the first annual Love Ball at the Beehive (541 Tremont Street, Boston, 617.423.0069). It's just not possible, thanks to help from a performance by jazz musician Ron Murphy, the trio of sumptuous courses included...

The full Monty

by Heather Bouzan | December 12, 2007
Eight hours of popcorn, Junior Mints, and John Cleese? The Monty Python geek inside us can hardly contain itself. As the city gears up for a Spamalot run from January 15 through 27, Pythonathon takes over the Brattle Theatre (40 Brattle Street, Cambridge...

Party like it's 2008

by Heather Bouzan | December 12, 2007
For some, New Year's Eve is a Champagne-fueled best night ever; for others it's a complete disappointment. And with so many events to choose from, making a plan can get tricky. Some of our favorites? Party with the high rollers at the Bringing...

A real winner

by Heather Bouzan | November 14, 2007
Hard to believe, but it's been two decades since the inaugural Boston Music Awards . Now the 20th anniversary of the awards show is set for December 1 at 7:30 p.m. at the Orpheum Theater (1 Hamilton Place, Boston, 617.679.0810), with Lori McKenna...
