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...

Take me out to the Bristol

by Heather Bouzan | April 07, 2008
There's something to be said for the culinary perfection of a hot dog and a cheap beer. But while baseball food has its place in our hearts, our stomach can only take it on occasion. The rest of the time, our sophisticated palates will lead us to...

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...

Mayflower power

by Heather Bouzan | February 25, 2008
No longer will Plymouth be known solely for that boring rock, so beloved by grade-school field-trip coordinators everywhere. The historic city now has an attraction that's more our speed: the Mayflower Brewing Company . Founder and president Drew...

Vee Vee is for veggie

by Heather Bouzan | February 06, 2008

V-Day multiple choice

by Heather Bouzan | February 06, 2008
We don't know if the dudes behind the Savant Project (1625 Tremont Street, Boston, 617.566.5958) have had some problems in the romance department, but we're loving their fresh take on the predictable February 14 prix fixe. They're serving...

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...
