See New England Festival
The weather is warm and the outdoors is calling your name. But, maybe a trip to the tropics just isn’t in the stars (or your wallet) this year. Luckily there are many a joyful diversion right here in New England, just a tank of gas away. And even if you grew up in this area, […]
Soak up Summer with the Beacon Hill Shopping Stroll
With the summer weather peeking its head around the corner, Bostonians are eager to shed their jackets and bask in the urban sunshine. But if you’re not one of the lucky few who zoom off to a cottage on the Vineyard, the evenings are wide open for some summer fun. On the evening of Thursday, June […]
Free Earthfest Concert this Saturday!
Free is a word everyone seems to seek out these days. And Radio 92.9 (formerly WBOS) has been kind enough to provide the good people of Boston with this free concert going on 16 years now.
Sponsored by Whole Foods Market (a personal favorite of mine – their free sample selection is phenomenal), the concert being held this Saturday May 30th, focuses on all things green with a special emphasis on community involvement.
Crash Courses in Wine From The Second Glass
Not sure about the difference between a Pinot and Prosecco? Or a Merlot and a Muscat? Then maybe you need a little guidance from The Second Glass. This Boston-based print and online wine magazine offers a hip, unpretentious approach to wine, demystifying the world of wine and helping beer-loving Bostonians learn more about different wine regions, styles of wine, and pairing options. They also offer a weekly email called the Wine of the Weekend. (Full disclosure: I’m friends with the marketing director, but I’d be blogging about this either way. Trust me, it’s that cool.)
Bay State Bike Week
Remember how you spent all winter sighing as you looked outside your window at the snow piling up outside? And then, how you made that vow to make the most of every beautiful and sunny day that may come your way when spring finally arrived, just praying that the day would one day actually arrive? Well, it is here. The weather is beautiful and if you are making up excuses to stay closed up inside, Bay State Bike Week is here to get your but

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo
Tuesday may not be the most forgiving day of the week to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but if you want to be authentic May 5th is the day to get your drink on. While the date was originally meant to commemorate the Mexican Army’s defeat over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, […]
J. Geils Band Returns to the House of Blues
There are many reasons to be proud of the music and musicians that have originated from Boston. Perhaps one of the best home-grown guilty pleasures is the J. Geils Band. Personally, “Centerfold” and “Freeze Frame” were two personal favorites of the just-been-born (what’s-a-music-video?) MTV era. When the tunes come on the “we play everything” radio station, I still crank it up and roll down the windows in the car. For others, the J. Geils of the 70’s is the true Boston grit rock. Either way, the boys still rock.
