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...

Just Shoe It

by Heather Bouzan | March 10, 2008
From our strappy sandals to our sky-high stilettos, Nordstrom splurges to Filene's Basement finds, we love all of our footwear equally. Luckily, there are others just like us. For proof, visit Shoetube.tv , a newly launched online video channel and...

A Brighton idea

by Heather Bouzan | February 25, 2008

by Heather Bouzan | February 06, 2008
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17 You've gawked at your favorite players from behind the glass, but off-the-ice face time with the Boston Bruins can be hard to come by. The boys are willing change that, however, to benefit the Boston Bruins and Travis Roy Foundations...

Factory work(out)

by Heather Bouzan | February 06, 2008
If working out were as much fun as a night on the town, we'd be tugging on our Lululemon stretch pants and sweating it out nightly. And that's the atmosphere that Andy Haynes is working to create at his newly-opened Cardio Factory (26 New Street...

À la Moda

by Heather Bouzan | January 08, 2008
Who knew North End residents were devoted to more than just plates of spaghetti and the city's best slice of pizza? Turns out, there's a market for meditation, too, as Alessandra Miele and Alicia Orr discovered when they opened North End Yoga...

Good sports

by Heather Bouzan | December 12, 2007
You named your dog after your favorite player: acceptable show of loyalty. You wore the same boxers every game for an entire season: mildly obsessed. (It was a winning season, after all.) You erected a seven-foot shrine to the star quarterback in your...

Hot Obsession: Matsuzaka Mania

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Once upon a time, sushi was an event. You planned an outing and you coveted the unagi. You ordered quality sake at only a few select Asian establishments. Then the Red Sox signed a certain pitcher and our city took on a more Eastern flair. Now Japanese...

Hot Workout: Power Plate

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Remember those thick, vibrating bands that old-time boxers used to wrap around their waists in hopes of jiggling off a few pounds? The Power Plate , a cutting-edge piece of exercise equipment gracing the floor at the new Equinox (131 Dartmouth Street...

Virtually Hot: Wii Sports

by eldean | August 08, 2007
We don't consider ourselves natural athletes. In fact, the most exercise we generally get is sprinting down the streets to hit the Saks sale before it ends. And we're as unimpressed by video games as we are by gym rats. Given such sentiments,...

Hot Replacement: Joshua Tree

by eldean | August 08, 2007
In a hard-partying college town like Allston, it's no wonder that Tonic (1316 Comm Ave, Allston, 617.566.6699) evolved into more of a clubby nightspot than the neighborhood bar and restaurant it was originally intended to be. Now, management has shut...
