More Hotel Bar Drinking Than You'll Probably Ever Want to Do

Watering holes in the Charles Hotel

Lucky you, staying at the Charles Hotel [One Bennett St., Harvard Sq., Cambridge. 617.864.1200. charleshotel.com]; there's a great night of drinking ahead of you, and you don't even need to leave the property. Start at Rialto [617.661.5050. rialto-restaurant.com] and treat yourself to some fried olives ($4) and a Laila made with brandy, rose cognac liqueur, a dash of bitters and fresh orange juice.

In Like a Lion...

Style for the wildebeest in you


Ah, the Savannah. Home to creepy critters that can kill you instantly and dinosaur-sized beasts that eat hipster-pancakes with a side of gazelle. Time to reduce this glorious ecosystem to the style trend it is.

"Real Ale" Comes to Somerville


It's no secret that we live in a processed world. Beer is no exception. Good or bad, additives, preservatives, special enzymes, pasteurization and filtering infiltrate our beer to improve its shelf-life.

 

What's on the opposite end of the spectrum? "Real ale," beer that's alive and evolving. High in vitamin B (from yeast), real ale is not filtered or pasteurized. It contains no artificial additives or preservatives. We're talking some old-school beer in the raw.

Paints you green

So, you've got your token vegan pal and this other friend who's a vegetarian and you're kind of like "whatever," but you don't eat wheat ... oh, and your boyfriend's a foodie. Where do you go for dinner?

Food Fight: We've Got Beef

Banjo's Roast Beef

'Round these parts, the word "roast beef" evokes late nights on Revere Beach, milling around outside Kelly's among meatheads and women as orange as you can find them this side of the Jersey Shore.

LET'S JAM WITH LAMB, BOSTON!

Lamb. Probably our favorite meat, even if we think about where it came from.

THEATER DISTRICT

Wrapping around the east and south sides of the Boston Common is the Theater District, where ornate playhouses and upscale productions aren't just for octogenarian millionaire philanthropists.

THAT '70S TREND

Tie-dye doesn’t look a day over 40

Don't look now, '80s fans, but the decade's hippie-dippie predecessor is making a comeback.

The Middle East is a great venue when it's kind of full--but it can be a mess when it's completely sold out.

 


Surfer Blood & Turbo Fruits

By ioncrash on Mon, Mar 8, 2010 5:26 pm None-too-shockingly, Jonas Stein of Turbo Fruits (formerly of Be YourOwn Pet) turns out to be a pretty chill guy. After all, the dude’s written more songs about weed than I care to list right now.

Live! From DC! It's ...

... the healthcare forum! The folks at the Sunlight Foundation are streaming it ... and cunningly including a sidebar that shows how much money each speaker has received in campaign contributions from the healthcare industry.
