What Boston’s Buzzing aBout
the burdick is inBoston chocolate hounds have a new reason to howl. Internationally renowned chocolatier L.A. Burdick has recently opened a new storefront and café in the Back Bay (220 Clarendon St., 617-303-0113). Lilting French music and glittering chandeliers greet guests at this rustic, wood-clad chocolate emporium known for its delectable wares imported from France, Switzerland and South America. Dedicated experts prepare each treat at L.A. Burdick without any added extracts or flavorings. The delicate chocolate mice and rich hot cocoa in milk, dark and white flavors are
particularly popular treats, as are the honey caramels and hand-crafted nougat. In early spring, Boston’s L.A. Burdick opens the doors to its café, undoubtedly ushering in an era of utter chocolate obsession. —Paul Adler
let’s get skin fit—eh? If you’re thumbing through the pages of Vanity Fair or GQ and you stumble upon a rave review
of Skoah (641A Tremont St., 857-350-4930), they’re talking about the South End branch
right here in Boston. The Canadian-born skin-care and spa boutique (they call it a “spatique”) has its only U.S. location
exclusively in Beantown. There you’ll find the Vancouver cult favorite skin care
line, including Skrubbin ($30), a gently exfoliating face wash and Skin Boost Serum that has Bostonians cooing. You’ll also find a staff of highly trained estheticians ready
to whip your epidermis into shape with their skin gym membership. This includes
12 facials and 10% off products ($65 per month). —Samantha House

homeward bound Looking for a souvenir that screams “Boston” without seeming
too cheesy or cheap? Class it up with Shreve, Crump & Lowe’s (440 Boylston St., 617-267-9100) Gurgling Cod pitcher,
elegantly wrapped and ready to be gifted. Benjamin David Shreve first conjured up this unique pitcher in 1964 as a model of the traditional English “glug jug.” Featuring precision detail in its fins, gills and scales, the pitcher emits a gurgling sound
when tipped to pour. This quintessential Beantown gift comes in three different sizes, ranging in price from $50
to $195, and is perfect for any friend, family member, co-worker or, most of all, yourself. —Chelsea Santilli

going native Salem, a town just a half hour’s ride from Boston, is host to one of the most breathtaking exhibitions in recent memory. Shapeshifting: Transformations in Native American Art, on display through April 29 at the Peabody Essex Museum (refer to listing, page 26), offers a glimpse at the great evolution of Native American art. The astonishingly well-preserved drum heads of a 19th century Pawnee artist can be ogled alongside a trippy, 1968 portrait by Fritz Scholder. The most jaw-dropping piece on exhibit, however, is Brian Jungen’s massive Cetology, a 50-foot long whale skeleton composed of white plastic lawn chairs. The unlikely material is meant to raise awareness about worldwide pollution by plastics. For anyone who admires astonishing art, a trip to PEM’s new Shapeshifting exhibit is well worth the ride. —Paul Adler

restaurant refreshedWhen chef Ken Oringer opened Clio (370A Commonwealth Ave., 617-536-7200) in 1997, the restaurant was quickly touted as one of the city’s finest. For the past 15 years, Clio’s reputation for incredible food amid beautiful people and intricate décor has not changed—however, the way people wish to enjoy their meal has. To accommodate the Boston socialite’s nouveau desire to do away with formal dining, Clio has revamped their interior, bar and dining menus. Now, you’ll find an extended bar, lounge-like seating and a growing specialty cocktail clientele. —Samantha House
8 Panorama Hungry i pHoto: tracy powell
The swanky seat of the Boston Brahmin has
quite a storied past. Over the years, Beacon Hill’s cobblestone streets and glitzy row houses have been host to a surprising amount of history. Those who wonder how this neighborhood got its name need wonder no longer as we delve into the annals of this affluent district.
Believe it or not, during the first half of the 17th century a single man named William Blackstone owned all of Beacon Hill. During this period, the hill was known as the Tri-mount, or Tremont, due to its three impressive peaks towering over the Boston skyline.
These hills were so high that a beacon was placed
atop one to warn local communities of approach-ing enemy danger. This is how Beacon Hill got its name. Blackstone eventu-ally sold his land to Puritan settlers, paving the way for a development boom spanning both sides of the steep climb.This boom reached a high point when, in 1795, the State House was built on a parcel of the hill bought from John Hancock. That same year a group of wealthy developers shore off each of the three peaks to build residential quarters. To this day, a monument behind the State House tes-tifies to the location of the beacon that was once situ-ated in the building’s current location. —Paul Adler
Beacon Hill
A Peek AT THe PAST
How Boston’s timeless, Old World neighborhood got its name.
Taking the Mystery out of Boston History
The Hungry i (711/2 Charles St., 617-227-3524): More than 50 years ago, the space that is now The Hungry i catered to the likes of Joan Baez and Bonnie Raitt as a coffee house called The Turk’s Head. The name was then changed to the Hungry Intellectual when they introduced food and was shortened soon after. Now you’ll find Chef Peter Ballarin serving impec-cable French delicacies nightly. Union Oyster House (41 Union St., 617-227-2750): The oldest restaurant in the U.S., this seafood house can be traced back to the early 1800s. Among a myriad of political greats, you could also find the first toothpick here.
Locke-Ober Restaurant (3 Winter Pl., 617-542-1340): Now comprised of a main dining area and a maze of intimate rooms, Locke-Ober opened as two separate spaces, Ober’s Restaurant Parisien and Frank Locke’s Wine Rooms in the 1800s. Back then, Locke’s catered strictly to men with visiting hours for “the gentler sex” two hours daily. Today, it’s a Boston landmark that welcomes all.
Parker’s Restaurant (60 School St., 800-843-6664): This iconic restaurant residing in the Omni Parker House has been around since the late 1800s. It launched the careers of emeril Lagasse, Lydia Shire and Jasper White. In addition, Ho Chi Minh served as a baker in the bakeshop from 1912–1913 and Malcolm X was a busboy in the early 1940s.
Jacob Wirth (31 Stuart St., 617-338-8586): When Jacob Wirth opened his restaurant in 1868, he served Boston celebrities staples such as pig’s knuckles, boiled bacon and herring. To-day, a loyal clientele gathers for wiener schnitzel and a lively atmosphere. —Samantha House

Post 390 With two floors and a large bar, this modern tavern is big enough to spread out in, relax and enjoy the evening. Dimly lit dark wood and a regal staircase make for a romantic setting in which to talk and get to know someone. 406 Stuart St., 617-399-0015
The Liberty Bar When folks land at The Liberty Bar it’s not just to enjoy the extensive wine and cocktail list. Nightlife enthusiasts get decked out in their finest and circle the room to mix and mingle with Boston’s elite. Everyone is here for the same reason, so there’s no need to pretend.The Liberty Hotel, 215 Charles St., 617-224-4000
Lucky’s Lounge With no sign in sight, visitors to this underground lounge become Boston insiders when they stumble upon it. Multiple trips to the bar and the crooning of a Sinatra sound-alike persuade the shyest wallflowers to make their move. 355 Congress St., 617-357-5825
Grill 23 Beautiful women and successful men fill the bar at one of Boston’s most beloved steakhouses. Don’t let the formal atmosphere fool you. Add a martini or two and you have the recipe for budding romance. 161 Berkeley St., 617-542-2255
Deuxave Even Monday nights see the bar at this high end French restau-rant packed with Boston’s finest. Guests dress to the nines and make friendly conversation over perfectly executed cocktails.371 Commonwealth Ave., 617-517-5915
Storyville This nightclub cleverly disguised as a bar lets you rediscover your youth without pesky things like three inches of grime and drunk college kids. The person dancing next to you is more likely to be a lawyer than a club rat. 90 Exeter St., 617-236-1134
Bleacher Bar There are plenty of reasons to take up real estate at this sports bar that sits directly under the bleach-ers in Fenway Park. Overlooking center field? Check. A packed bar filled with people who share your love of sports? Check. 82A Lansdowne St., 617-262-2424

beacon hillAn old world feeling awaits you in this quaint part of the city
Walking along Beacon Hill’s picturesque gas-lit streets, brick sidewalks and Federal-style row houses, it’s not uncommon to feel as though you’ve travelled
back in time. One of Boston’s most expensive and historic residential neighborhoods, The State House—with its gleam-ing gold dome—sits on the peak of the hill where the beacon for which the neighborhood was named used to reside. You’ll also find the African Meeting House, which holds the Museum of African-American History, as well as the Bull and Finch Pub, the inspiration for and exterior of the popular TV show, “Cheers.” Charles Street, located at the flat of the hill, is remi-niscent of an old-fashioned main street filled with boutique shopping, restaurants, cafes and charming hotels. Locals de-scend the hill daily to enjoy all that Charles Street has to offer, adding to the feeling of small-town charm.

NORTH ENDFabulous cuisine, shopping and history are abundant in Boston’s Little Italy
Old North Church
Italian culture reigns in the North End, Boston’s oldest and busiest neighborhood. The sugary scent of fresh can-noli rises from countless Italian bakeries, permeating the
neighborhood’s narrow cobblestone streets. The veritable buffet of dining choices will have you wishing there were more than three meals to enjoy in a day. Recently, clothing and home decor boutiques have been setting up shop here, making the North End an even more diverse and desirable destination. Don’t even try to find a parking space—it’s best to hop on the T or walk. If you’re walking The Freedom Trail, you’ll discover three important historical sites in the North End: The Paul Revere House, Copp’s Hill Burying Groundand the Old North Church. Summertime brings people into the streets to celebrate various Italian feasts with music, so-cializing and, of course, lots and lots of food.

Back BayThis famous neighborhood is truly the hub of the Hub
Exquisite architecture and world-class retailers are plentiful in Boston’s most famous neighborhood. The Victorian brick and brownstone residences that line
the streets are not only elegant, they’re widely regarded as the best-preserved examples of 19th-century urban design in the United States. Newbury and Boylston streets, where luxury shops vie for space amidst outstanding restaurants, welcome visitors and residents alike. Back Bay is also home to the iconic Prudential Tower, Trinity Church, Boston Pub-lic Library, the John Hancock Tower and two sprawling shopping malls connected by a climate-controlled bridge. You’ll also find standout salons, spas, antique shops and gal-leries throughout. Nightlife thrives in Back Bay as well. Fans of the swanky area flock to chic hotel bars, restaurants and lounges to see and be seen.

FenwaySports and entertainment take center stage in this exciting area
Just south of the Charles River lies Boston’s axis of enter-tainment, the Fenway neighborhood. What was once a marshy wetland is now a thriving center of nightlife, arts
and, of course, Fenway Park, home of the legendary Boston Red Sox. The Fenway district is often referred to as the Ken-more Square area and can easily be accessed from the T’s Green Line. Lansdowne Street, located right next to Fenway Park, is a prime attraction and boasts an impressive number of bars and dance clubs, including the famed Cask’n Flagon, Boston Beer Works, and The Bleacher Bar. If you’re looking for a calmer cul-tural scene, the Museum of Fine Arts, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and Symphony Hall offer a welcome retreat from the hubbub. And if you don’t have time to explore Fenway’s many social and cultural offerings, you can still look up and appreciate Boston’s famed CITGO sign hovering above it all.

SOUTH ENDWhere fabulous shopping, dining and nightlife intersect
From award-winning restaurants to a throng of hip bou-tiques, the South End is one of the city’s premier cultural hotspots, boasting a thriving theater scene, as well as
one of the largest gay communities in New England. Along its notably scenic streets, you can find elegant brick row houses, charming bakeries and scrupulously maintained private gar-dens. Follow Tremont Street to some of Boston’s quirkiest shops, as well as a bevy of international dining options. Excep-tional plays and musical performances can be seen at both the Boston Center for the Arts and the Calderwood Pavilion, while numerous arts events and energetic trade shows constantly overtake the Cyclorama—a 23,000 square-foot dome that first opened in 1865. With its breathtaking beauty and bohemian culture, the South End should be on any visitor’s to-do list.

For Toni Hacker, elegance is a way of life. As one half of the fashion powerhouse Hayden-Harnett, Hacker’s very existence seems to be one long path toward timeless style. The omnipresent handbags and accesso-ries of Hayden-Harnett have a touching start. “My family was into antiques and vintage items,” recalls Toni. “My grandmother would often take me aside and show me really beau-tiful and inspiring dresses. I’ve always felt a strong pull toward fashion.” After meeting boyfriend and partner Benjamin Harnett while working at a fashion house in New York City, Hacker began to envision her own line. “Ben is very traditional and I’m definitely much more of a rock and roll kind of girl.” Apparently, the combination worked, because since that fateful meeting six years ago, Hayden-Harnett’s brand has blos-somed into a cult favorite, creating collections for both Disney and Target. A bevy of celebrities, from Neve Campbell and Britney Spears to Alicia
Keys and Rachel Bilson, have also become devoted fans. Considering Hacker’s attraction to the quaint and beautiful, it’s not surprising that Boston holds a special place in her heart. “Whenever teachers would ask what I wanted to do when I grew up, I would always say ‘I’m going to be a veterinarian and live in Boston.’ I had this grand idea of living in New Eng-land in a city by the sea; a fun, creative life.” Although she visits the Hub often, we’re glad this Brooklyn-based fashion beacon has stuck to her roots. After inquiring what lays ahead for Hayden-Harnett, Hacker laughs and simply says, “Leather and metal are my jam.” —Paul Adler
