Model behavior
Modeling since age 10 and running a fashion-consulting and public-relations business since she was in college, Polina Raygorodskaya is nothing if not ambitious. The Newton resident and owner of Polina Fashion produces fashion shows and handles PR for a number of up-and-coming businesses, including photographer David Alsdorf. These days, she does more producing than modeling, though she still embraces the jet-set life and travels weekly. But when she’s home, she likes to keep things low-key, palling around with friends over good beers and a game of pool.
@ 6:15 p.m.: I like to get together with an intimate group of friends, so we may start out near my house in Newton for a little pregame sangria at Legal Sea Foods. They have one of the best sangrias I’ve ever tasted.
@ 7:30 p.m.: I may head over to Kinsale for dinner and a few beers. They have an incredible beer list, so all you have to do is tell them what you’re in the mood for and they’ll pick it out for you.
@ 9:45 p.m.: From there, we might run over to the Foundation Lounge for a drink. We stop there a lot.
@ midnight: I really like going to Felt; I like the fact that there are four different floors and that they each have a different atmosphere. I love to play pool, actually, so you can play pool or if you want to dance, you can go to the dance club on the top floor. It has everything.
@ 2 a.m.: When I’ve had a good night, I don’t want to go home right away, so I’ll stop by Apollo in Chinatown. They’re open late so we can sit down for some sushi and sober up a little.
