Girls Night Out at Vinalia

by Heather Bouzan, 04-07-2008

THURSDAY, APRIL 10 & 17 We admit that our favorite nights out tend to involve chatting up cute (and, ideally, eligible) boys. But every once in a while we crave a little QT with our female friends. Luckily for us, every Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m.,...

Take me out to the Bristol

Take me out to the Bristol

by Heather Bouzan, 04-07-2008

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...

South End sampler

by Heather Bouzan, 03-10-2008

We keep a running tally of restaurants we've still yet to try tucked in our planner. But no matter how frequently we dine out, the scribbled list keeps growing and growing. Our solution? This year's Taste of the South End , which features generous...

Blunch 'n' munch

by Heather Bouzan, 03-10-2008

by Heather Bouzan, 02-25-2008

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29 Cambridge Common (1667 Mass Ave, Cambridge, 617.547.1228) is celebrating its 12th birthday (though technically the beer bar is only three, seeing as it's a leap-year baby: its opening day was February 29, 1996). Questions of age...

Publick domain

by Heather Bouzan, 02-25-2008

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...

Heaven & Hell at Vox Populi

by Heather Bouzan, 02-06-2008

Vee Vee is for veggie

by Heather Bouzan, 02-06-2008

It's one of those restaurant-biz dreams that'd be cliché if it wasn't so heartwarming: a husband and wife who've worked in the industry for years finally save up, find the perfect spot, and open their own place. For Dan and Kristen Valachovic...
Frightful weather, delightful deals

Frightful weather, delightful deals

by Heather Bouzan, 01-08-2008

When the snow starts falling, our inclination is to hole up at home in our fuzziest pair of PJs. But local restaurants are tempting us to forgo hibernation with deals that are worth a minor case of frostbite. Pigalle (75 Charles Street South, Boston,...

Banq on it

by Heather Bouzan, 11-30-2007

We've had our eye on the transformation of Washington Street's Penny Savings Bank for months. Now it's almost complete, with the highly-anticipated, aptly-named Banq (1317 Washington Street, Boston, 617.451.0077) opening this month. Co-owners...

Josh Childs@Night: Child's Play

by Erin Byers Murray, 11-19-2007
