As someone who primarily celebrates Hanukkah, I’ve always been fascinated with the traditions around Christmas, Kwanzaa, and other winter time festivals One which has particularly perplexed me is the tradition of Wassailing. I’ve thought about it since I was in elementary school chorus, but never quite knew what it was. Fortunately, my friends at Champlain […]
Though I have been hanging out at Cambridgeside since it was known as the Galleria and Lechmere was more than just a stop on the recently-expanded green line, I had never considered it a place to go to eat. Recently, however, that has changed with the opening of CanalSide Food & Drink at CambridgeSide. Anchored
In the olden days, Valentine’s Day was traditionally a time for men to make amends for past infractions of the love code by plying their paramours with roadside flowers and drug store candy.

Boston is famous for its historical landmark buildings, many of which have been open for centuries and have not changed in quite some time. And while it can be fun to get lost in yester-year, they are also as a place for updating and making productive changes. The Lenox Hotel has been peering over Back
While Chanukah is officially “late” this year (starting on December 25), the folks at The Charles Hotel are already getting into the spirit with the return of the Maccabee Bar pop-up at Noir. Through New Years Day, the street-level bar and nosherie will get totally lit (with safety-conscious digital candles, of course) and offering sufganiyot (basically
