Our gambling efforts tend to be sub-par, but we love hitting up the casinos for the glitz, the glamour, and, of course, the über-posh nightlife. Foxwoods's long-anticipated new MGM Grand (39 Norwich-Westerly Road, Mashantucket, Connecticut, 866.MGM...

Eat, drink, and be preppy

by Heather Bouzan | May 05, 2008
Trust us: it's not like we need convincing to jet (or ferry) off to Nantucket for an extended springtime weekend. But the 12th annual Nantucket Wine Festival , held May 14 through 18, is the perfect excuse to do so. The event features an extensive...

If it ain't Oak ...

by Heather Bouzan | April 07, 2008
You gotta love a wunderkind. Just 20 years old, Keara Sexton is already running her own retail shop in Back Bay. Oak (31 Gloucester Street, Boston), which stands for "one of a kind," is committed to supporting local and international artisans...

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...

A Brighton idea

by Heather Bouzan | February 25, 2008
If you ask us, throwing a few back at Southie's Boston Beer Garden, a comfortable, camaraderie-filled sports bar, is what drinking's all about. And if the formula works, why not stick with it? Now, the Brighton Beer Garden (386 Market Street,...

Lock & Key Party at Lir

by Heather Bouzan | February 06, 2008
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14 The Boston singles scene is often compared to an awkward eighth-grade dance: girls hanging on one side, boys on the other, and never the twain shall meet. But Anthem Entertainment is getting the conversations going with their second...

Vee Vee is for veggie

by Heather Bouzan | February 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...

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...

Champagne wishes

by Heather Bouzan | February 06, 2008
As if we needed another reason to swarm the Liberty Hotel (215 Charles Street, Boston, 617.224.4000): Veuve Clicquot has opened La Grande Dame Bar on the hotspot's second-floor rotunda. The first of its kind in the US - others exist in Macao, China...

Booze-it-yourself

by Heather Bouzan | January 28, 2008
We've always enjoyed experimenting with cocktail-making from the comfort of our home bar, but we often lack ingredients diverse enough for any real innovation. So lately we've been playing mixologist with the private table-bar service offered...

Bowled over

by Heather Bouzan | January 28, 2008
Scorpion bowls are so sophomore year - but we have to admit they're a great way to get a party started. For a more grown-up take, we love the oversized Buddha Bowls ($450) being served at Mantra (52 Temple Place, Boston, 617.542.8111). The drinks...
