Stuff at Night Hot 100 2007

by Tamara Wieder | August 15, 2007
BOSTON’S IN the midst of a heat wave the likes of which it’s never seen. But this kind of warmth doesn’t respond to even the most heavy-duty air conditioners. And why would we want it to? It’s our fine city’s most innovative restaurateurs, fashionistas...

Hot Group Dynamic: Bang Camaro

by eldean | August 08, 2007
We were that little kid who never played well with others, and to this day, group projects make us cringe. But in the case of Bang Camaro , the bad-ass band out of Boston, it's all or nothing. The band's 20 - count 'em, 20 - lead singers belting...

Hot Seat: Bar Dining

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Tired of drawn-out dinners tucked away in stuffy restaurant corners, during which the only person you see is your harried server as she drops your appetizer on your table and heads back to the kitchen? So, apparently, are a lot of people, because these...

Hot Buzz: Small-Batch Vodka

by eldean | August 08, 2007
This ain't your grandfather's bathtub gin. Hell, it's not even gin. We've come a long way from moonshine, baby, and small-batch vodkas are excellent proof (wink wink). Distilled in small quantities to ensure premium quality, these are...

Hot Relocation: Emporio Armani

by eldean | August 08, 2007
We're suckers for centralized shopping, and the merits of an indoor experience - as opposed to tramping through rain, sleet, and snow with an armful of oversize bags - aren't lost on us. That's why we couldn't help but get a little giddy...

Hot Grape Gurus: Young Wine Stewards

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Call them sommeliers, call them wine stewards, but don't call them stuffy. There's a new breed of winos in town, and they're making the art of vino hip, fun, and accessible. It used to be intimidating to order a bottle of wine at dinner; a...

Hot Call: Apple iPhone

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Forget the status bags and pricey scarves: the iPhone has proven itself the most covet-worthy accessory of the season. With its bad-ass phone features, widescreen iPod with browse-able album covers, über-advanced Web browser, impressive photo skills,...

Hot Transformation: Landsdowne Street

by eldean | August 08, 2007
No longer a haven for the glittery club kids who spill into the streets in the wee hours of the morning, Lansdowne Street is changing its tune. (Because, frankly, those club kids aren't raving the night away quite like they used to.) First on the...

Hot Label: Wines at Bin 26

by eldean | August 08, 2007
We've sampled heavily from the lengthy wine list at Beacon Hill's Bin 26 Enoteca (26 Charles Street, Boston, 617.723.5939). And though we've discovered a few new favorites, it's the restaurant's flair, flavors, and charm that we've...

Hot Find: Lee Authentics

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Most of us have more denim than we know what to do with. Yet in a product category that seems completely oversaturated, new denim lines are continually being launched (including Victoria Beckham's latest). With hundreds of brands to choose from, the...

Hot Sweat: Mind/Body Workouts

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Life is hectic. Staying in shape shouldn't be. So isn't it nice that relaxing your mind and working your booty can go hand in hand? A trendsetter in the genre that hit mainstream gyms a few years back, Exhale Mind Body Spa (28 Arlington Street...

Hot Overnight: Liberty Hotel

by eldean | August 08, 2007
We try to avoid overnights in the big house whenever possible, but when the doors open at the Liberty Hotel (215 Charles Street, Boston, 617.224.4000), we'll be lining up for the chance to spend an evening there. The property, the former home of the...

Hot Heads: Hats, Hats, and More Hats

by eldean | August 08, 2007
"Put a lid on it" takes on a whole new meaning this season. Whether or not you consider yourself a hat person, with so many shapes and colors to choose from, you're sure to find a style that will cover your pretty little noggin' to your...

Hot Feet: Shockingly Bright Shoes

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Accessories turn Technicolor this fall, with bright colors adding brilliance and fun to even the simplest of looks. Pick up yellow Prada kitten heels ($450) at Barneys New York (Copley Place, 100 Huntington Avenue, Boston, 617.385.3300), and Christian...

Hot Color: Shades of Gray

by eldean | August 08, 2007
The color gray can be gloomy and depressing, making you look boring and drab. But a cool, neutral gray with sleek lines - well, that's what we call a closet must-have. Designers are painting the runways in Europe and here at home with shades of gray...
