That’s right — I dare to bring you the same Weekend Highlight this week as I did last week, and for good reason. Thanks to generally lousy weather and unforeseen exploding manholes, May 4th’s scheduled MayFair celebration was canceled.
Those excited to attend need not worry about having to wait another entire year for the [...]
Local NBC affiliate WHDH had an interesting report on the 11pm news broadcast last night. It was an undercover investigation that confirmed what many taxi-loving commuters probably already knew — some cab drivers like to make more money than they’re due by scamming what they hope are unsuspecting riders.

Lots of people in the Hub are excited about one major thing these days — the gigantic, allegedly 21,350-square-foot flagship Apple Store currently under construction at 815 Boylston Street in the historic Back Bay area of Boston.
A February 2007 Boston Globe article speculated the massive retail location will give eager Apple connoisseurs, fanboys, [...]
Before I located — and then duly memorized — several default locations, one of my most frustrating experiences traveling around Boston was where to find free wireless Internet access.
The information is not a big secret. It just happens that many places offering free Internet access don’t publicize it very much, probably out of fear [...]
There’s no denying it or wondering about it now — the rumors about New Kids on the Block staging a tour in the near future are undeniably true.
To prove it, the group’s website nkotb.com is currently chock full of supporting extras, including a blog, image downloads, and a brand-spanking-new track called “Summertime,” the last of [...]
Advantage: Landmark hotel — in continuous operation since 1855, the longest for an American hotel — located right in the heart of downtown Boston
Disadvantage: Previous visitors often note the tiny size of the rooms and the paper-thin walls
Interesting Fact: The place where the Boston Cream Pie, the official Massachusetts State Dessert that’s actually a cake, [...]
The only thing better than booze is free booze.
If you agree with that sentiment, take note because Monday, May 12, brings a free event for those in the Boston area who appreciate a good glass of wine or sake.
From 5:30pm–7:30pm, the award-winning restaurant and lounge Pho Republique and the new local wine publication The Second [...]
This Sunday, May 4, gather the family, dress warm and casual, and head over to Harvard Square in Cambridge for its 25th annual MayFair festival, which coincides with the last day of Harvard University’s yearly, four-day Arts First celebration.
From 12pm-6pm, attendees will enjoy a diverse selection of activities, entertainment, shopping opportunities, and foodstuff, all for [...]
First there was the gas main line rupture downtown less than a week ago, and now Harvard Square in Cambridge has suffered exploding manholes.
At about 2:30am, (un)lucky residents and passersby had the opportunity to witness fire literally shooting out of a Harvard Square manhole and ten feet into the air at the intersection of Massachusetts [...]
During the wee, still-dark hours of the morning last Saturday, April 26, a flood broke out in downtown Boston when a city water main broke and subsequently caused a natural gas main to rupture after it was flooded. The unexpected deluge of water was so damaging, natural gas service was discontinued in the Financial [...]
