Hot without help: DIY Crafts

by webteam | July 28, 2008
Who knew we were on to something during our seventh-grade obsession with decoupage? A perfect complement to the ever-persistent green movement, crafting and doing-it-yourself have transcended the hippies and the blue-hairs and become desirable, marketable...

Hot Swim: One-piece bathing suits

by webteam | July 28, 2008
Remember Mom’s old adage about how it’s hot (okay, maybe our mothers didn’t use the word “hot”) to leave something to the imagination? Well, about 99 percent of us threw that out the window and dressed up as a sexy witch last year for Halloween. But this...

Hot but not: Raw food

by webteam | July 28, 2008
If we stumbled upon the concept in JP or Cambridge, maybe. But a crunchy (literally) raw-food restaurant smack in the middle of the North End? Yeah, we couldn’t wrap our heads around it, either. We couldn’t imagine trading steamy helpings of spaghetti...

Hot feet: Leokadia

The South End is rife with eclectic eateries; now its shopping scene is burgeoning, too, with the recent opening of Leokadia (667 Tremont Street, Boston, 617.247.SHOE). Jessica Lynn, who formerly worked at Beacon Hill boutique Moxie, offers sole-searching...

Hot zip code: 02134

by webteam | July 28, 2008
After the last time you were in Allston, when you thought you were going to a party but ended up at a fraternity rager, you swore you’d never go back. But Allston’s matured, so it’s time to give it another chance. The last year has brought some trendy...

Hot complaint: Kenmore Square construction

by webteam | July 28, 2008
Still bitching about the Big Dig? That’s so 2007. This year’s trendy construction complaint is the Kenmore Square bus terminal, an endeavor that makes the building of Rome seem like a weekend gig. Originally slated for completion in 2004, the $23 million...

Hot gadgets: The new Apple store

by webteam | July 28, 2008
Steve Jobs has officially taken over the world. His brand’s cult-like following came out in droves when the big Apple came to Boston this spring with the launch of an ultra-chic glass-façade flagship store (815 Boylston Street, Boston, 617.385.9400)....

Hot ride: The T

by webteam | July 28, 2008
With gas prices still surging over $4 a gallon with no sign of stopping, we’re getting miiiighty sick of carpooling with Todd from accounting and his greasy takeout breakfasts. We never thought we’d say it, but the ol’ MBTA is looking pretty damn good...

Hot food, hold the allergic reaction: Gluten-free dining

by webteam | July 28, 2008
We’re not exactly sure where this new trend came from, but we dig gluten-free dining . What the heck is gluten, you ask? It’s a protein that’s found in most pastas, breads, sauces, and processed foods, and it makes dining out close to impossible for the...

Hot rumor: Solar-powered iPhone

by webteam | July 24, 2008
Word on the Web is that Apple employees have filed a patent for technology that could allow solar cells to be inserted beneath a touch screen. The proposal, filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in late April, suggests that a touch-sensitive...

Hot, no kidding: Dunkin’ Donuts

by webteam | July 24, 2008
So maybe their spokesperson is annoying as hell. And sometimes so are their jingles (though sometimes they’re also hysterical. “Alarm clock catastrophe” still gets stuck in our heads). But there’s no denying that America really does run on Dunkin’. Dunkin...

Hot plates: Multi-sized portions

by webteam | July 24, 2008
Small plates are so last year. (Case in point: the deluge of tapas joints currently invading the suburbs.) Now restaurateurs are mixing things up with a hodgepodge of many-sized plates that allow us to truly interact with our meals — tasting, sharing...

Hot at home: ghd stylers

by webteam | July 24, 2008
Normally we love talking about whatever crush we have at the moment. But to be honest, we’re a little embarrassed about our current love affair. That’s because it’s with a hairstyling device. But not just any device — oh no. The new limited-edition ghd...

Hot sports fan havens: McGreevy’s and Johnnie’s on the Side

by webteam | July 24, 2008
Good riddance, Foggy Goggle; you’ve inspired far too many poor, booze-soaked choices in bedroom companions. Anthem, we miss your fried Twinkie — but our thighs are finally starting to recover. What’s become of these two local standbys? Both have morphed...
