Doug Palardy@Night: Motley man
DOUG PALARDY recently downgraded from three shops to just one (the South End’s Motley), but he hasn’t lost any steam: his vintage T-shirts, sneakers, and housewares are for sale on an e-commerce site launching this month. Though he splits his time between Boston and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Palardy prefers to spend his nights in this city, hopping from one lively scene to the next.
@ 6:15 p.m.: I close the store at 7, so I’m still hanging around until then.
@ 7:30 p.m.: For a really fun night, I’ll meet people at Sister Sorel for a drink before running the few blocks home to change.
@ 9:45 p.m.: I’ll meet some folks for a quick bite to eat. My favorite place to eat, still, is Joe V’s. It’s quick, easy, and affordable.
@ midnight: Every few weeks I find myself over at Jacque’s in Bay Village. I’ll go with friends and sit at the bar. It’s a bit of a novelty these days with all the bachelorette parties, but it would break my heart if that bar ever closed. It’s the cheapest place you can drink in the South End. You get a huge plastic cup of wine for $3.
@ 2 a.m.: If it’s a Saturday night, I love going to Paradise on Mass Ave in Cambridge. It’s the only gay bar in all of Boston where when I walk in, I feel like I’m not in New England anymore. It’s just low-down and dirty fun. I’ll totally close that place. It’s a riot.
