From 10am until 3pm at Boston’s […]
This Fourth of July, it’s a shame revelers in the Boston area won’t get to enjoy the traditional free Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular from the Longfellow Bridge, a prime vantage point. But that doesn’t mean the celebration will be any less dazzling, especially since this year is the event’s 35th anniversary.

If you have a thing for food (and drink) and you enjoy learning about other regions and cultures around the world, […]
Boston-area Beatles fans, especially those who admire guitarist and singer John Lennon, have something to get excited about if they’re able to make it to Newton’s recently opened Hotel Indigo (399 Grove Street, Newton, 617-969-5300, 888-ART-1969) this weekend.

It’s been a few days now, but Boston residents are still glowing in the aftermath of the Boston Celtics’ victory during the 2008 NBA Finals.
