When the weather is

warm and the sun is out, who really wants to spend a day wandering a dark museum? Just because the indoors are off the table, however, doesn’t mean art should be. Luckily, the Boston area happens to be home to one of the most expansive and utterly beautiful col-lections of outdoor art and sculpture in the world. Cambridge’s Massachusetts Institute of Technol-ogy’s wide-ranging collection of outdoor art, which was initi-ated in 1961 with the sculpture Elmo-MIT, is a treat for students and the public alike. While the collection’s crown jewel is un-doubtedly Alexander Calder’s masterpiece La Grande Voile (Big Sail), visitors will

also find works like Michael Heizer’s awe-inspiring Guennette and Jacques Lip-chitz’s The Sacrifice III peppered through-out the breathtaking campus of this world-renowned university. Encompassing 35 painstakingly manicured acres, the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum (refer to listing, page 25) is the largest park of its kind in New England. Founded in 1950, deCordova and its comprehen-sive collection of sculptures are just a half-hour drive from Boston in the town of Lincoln. DeCordova recently unveiled two new exhibitions that incorporate outdoor works: Garry Webb: Mr. Jeans, which includes two new outdoor sculptures by Web as well as a survey of the artist’s

work; and Jedediah Caesar’s Platform 9 show, which includes fascinating sculp-tures composed of recombined refuse. Those who hope to bring some art back home with them must stop at the SoWa Open Market, an open-air bazaar filled with quirky local artisans and one-of-a-kind handmade articles in Boston’s hip South End. Taking place each Sunday from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. at 460 Harrison Ave., it features art, gourmet food trucks, inde-pendent designers, clothing, accessories, ceramics, house-wares and much more. With great food and no shortage of funky finds, the SoWa Open Market is one of the most enjoyable ways to experience art out-doors. —Paul Adler

Take iT OuTsideEnjoy a little art alfresco

This June marks the second year for the highly attended

Flash Forward Festival Boston, an extension of The Magenta Foundation’s Flash Forward An-nual Competition for Emerging Photographers in Canada. The four-day festival, taking place June 7–10, serves as a platform for exhibitions, book fairs, public art installations and programming such as Behind the Scenes with Design & Art Directors with Chris Dixon of Vanity Fair and Crowd Funding for Photojournalism. The goal is to give photographers and other interested folks the chance to chat with respected industry professionals about the business and pleasure of photography. Not only will you have the opportunity to mix and mingle, ask questions and listen to panel discussions, but you’ll be doing it all in the picturesque waterfront setting of the Fairmont Battery Wharf in the North End among beautiful photography exhibits. And how much does all of this cost? Not a single coin. Lucky you. Visit flashforwardfestival.com for more details and schedules. —Samantha House

Digging up the facts

Few know that nearly a third of this mega-sized tab came as a result of appeasing public opinion. Part of that meant installation of sound-proofed windows, air conditioning and, strangely, new mattresses for surrounding residents.

The majority of the Big Dig’s budget, however, came in the form of architectural techniques that had not yet been seen—the project was a modern engineering marvel. Being the first of its kind forced the Dig to be a guinea pig of sorts. As much as the project has shown the world what it can do, it has just as often shown the world what not to do. Ac-cidents regarding the infrastructural flaws that led to consistent leaks and the fallen ceiling panel that killed a woman have highlighted faults in commonplace approaches to design and construction.

Despite its billion-dollar budget and its struggles along the way, the Big Dig stands as a landmark in modern-day urban development. —Benjamin Lindsay

A Peek AT The PAsTTaking the Mystery out of Boston History

Boston is no stranger to revolutionary architectural undertakings—it was the first

American city to have a subway system, after all. But never before had Beantown tackled a project of such gargantuan size as the Central Artery/Tunnel Project. Otherwise known as The Big Dig, it was drawn up in the 1970s to rid the city of the elevated eyesore known as the Central Artery. The Big Dig was a com-plete re-imagining of this 7.5-mile interstate, set to rebuild it as an underground throughway, extend and tunnel the Massachusetts Turnpike to Logan Airport, and connect the banks of the Charles River by way of a 10-lane cable bridge. The Dig was Bostonians’ savior-in-waiting.

As the years ticked by, however, locals’ faith in their savior was tested and strained. The Big Dig was one of the largest urban renovations in American history, and it had a bill to match. Rounding out at $14.8 billion, it cost well beyond its 1982 estimate of $2.6 billion, which translates to $5.6 billion with today’s inflation.

DAy TrippingShort journeys from Beantown, these destinations are a great way to spend a day. By Samantha houSe

Cape ann There’s more than one “Cape” that’s easily accessible from Boston. Just 30 miles in length, Cape Ann encom-passes the towns of Gloucester, Essex, Manchester-by-the-Sea and Rockport. Many have heard of the seaside town of Gloucester (above)—it was the town in which the blockbuster film The Perfect Storm was set. It should come as no surprise that life on Cape Ann revolves around the sea, including whale watches, fishing, boat-ing, beaches and plenty of fresh seafood. Cape Ann has a small-town feel full of local pride and it’s often alluded to that residents rarely or never “cross the bridge” be-cause they have everything they would ever want right in their own backyard. The untouched beauty of Cape Ann keeps Bostonians coming back again and again.

martha’s vineyard & nantuCketMartha’s Vineyard and Nantucket are neighbors but they couldn’t be more different. Martha’s Vineyard is seven miles from the mainland and consists of six small towns. Though there are 125 miles of shoreline, you’ll rarely find visitors sunning themselves on the beach—shopping, dining and jetting around on a scooter are the popular activities. Most people also stop at The Black Dog Bakery Café and the nation’s oldest carousel. Thirty miles off the mainland, Nantucket (above) is much smaller. In warmer months, there are around 55,000 visitors to the Vineyard’s 100,000. The view on Nantucket does not include land on either side and you won’t find fast food restaurants either. Whaling is a big part of the island’s history and it shows. In the 1970s, Nantucket was declared a historic district and down-town offers more than 800 historically preserved sites.

salem The town of Salem is perhaps best known for the in-famous witch trials of 1692. The stories and hangings of the Salem Witch Trials still captivate visitors to this day and the inhabitants of the area are very happy to educate anyone who passes through. From The Sa-lem Witch Museum to Count Orlok’s Nightmare Gal-lery, Salem is not short on entertaining ways to learn about the area’s rich history. Salem’s appeal does not end there, however. The town boasts a thriving arts community and is home to the famous Peabody Es-sex Museum (above) as well as the Salem Art Festival. The town also claims the Salem Pioneer Village, the country’s first living history museum that reenacts life in the 17th century.

provinCetownLocated at the tip of beautiful Cape Cod, Province-town is a picturesque seaside locale. Even as early as the 1600s, settlers revered the area as a getaway destination. Nicknamed P-town, the quaint location began as a thriving fishing spot for decades until 1898, when the Portland Gale wiped out 150 boats, killing more than 400 people. Soon after, the town saw an influx of artists and literary minds. There was also a rapidly growing gay community forming. By the 1970s, there was a substantial number of homosexuals living in the area. Today, Provincetown is one of the most celebrated gay and lesbian visitor destinations in the country and, in 2010, the U.S. Census stated that Provincetown has the highest rate of same-sex couple residences in the country.

What Boston’s Buzzing aBout SubStantial Style

Let’s face it—sometimes guys need a little help with their style choices. Enter the chic yet informal new Bonobos

Guideshop (85 Newbury St., 877-294-7737). With a focus on bright colors, great fit and top-notch fabrics, Bonobos

has rightfully become the largest Internet-launched clothing brand in the United States. Founded in 2007 with a

wildly popular line of men’s pants, Bonobos has expanded into an internationally recognized clothier providing everything from cool blazers to smart shirts. At the

company’s new Boston brick-and-mortar shop, clients can schedule an hour-long appointment with one of Bonobos’

savvy stylists, who will guide them through a surprising array of dapper duds in a relaxed and refined environment.

Guys: no need to wrestle over your daily wardrobe. Bonobos’ has come to make life easier. —Paul Adler

boSton by bikeDo you dream of coasting down the city streets, wind in your hair, as you view the majesty of Boston on a guided tour? There’s no place better to fulfill that desire than Urban Adventours (103 Atlantic Ave., 617-670-0637). This cycling shrine opened in 2004 when Boston was rated one of the least bike-friendly cities in the U.S. Since then, founder Andrew Prescott has led the way to a bike-centric Boston. From tours throughout Boston to bike rentals (tandem to high end road bikes) to a full-service retail shop, Urban Adventours is the land of all things bike and Prescott is the ambassador. If you come equipped with your own wheels, there’s also a repair shop on site, and if you don’t, you can buy a sweet ride while you’re there. You can even pick up a hitch for your pup (up to 100 lbs.) and some nifty custom Boston cycling gear. —Samantha House

TasTy TidbiTLocated in the heart of Park Square, Avila

Modern Mediterranean (refer to listing, page 74) offers diners an array of Europe’s finest dishes and flavors, featuring the tastes of Spain, Italy,

France, Portugal and Greece. Avila’s menu is as vast and eclectic as are its lands of origin,

ensuring a perfect plate for the pickiest of eaters. The dining area itself is a quaint villa-inspired nook tucked at the edge of Boston’s Theatre

District. Warm sunshine and seascape-inspired hues splash the walls and furnishings, welcoming

all visitors to bask and enjoy. With the summer months around the corner, relaxed dining is a

must if you want to explore the Mediterranean without boarding a plane. —Benjamin Lindsay

Looking goodFor 58 years, Vidal Sassoon Salons have been turning out innovative hairstyles for the chic set. The founder and salon chain’s namesake, Vidal Sassoon, is often referred to as a hairdressing legend, known for redefining the way we wear our hair with his iconic geometric and precision cuts. The beauty guru earned his title with designs such as the pixie and the wedge bob. Though the chain has been sold a few times, the mantra has always remained: If you don’t look good, we don’t look good—and with the newest addition to the Boston branch (14 Newbury St., 617-536-5496), you can count on looking great. New creative director Cole Thompson (pictured) joins the already-stellar staff of the Newbury Street location from Liverpool, England. Cole brings his signature charisma, inspirational creativity and impeccable techniques that made him so popular in the U.K. —Samantha House

buck WiLdWith perfectly faded denims, sturdy leather boots and rugged plaid shirts, Ball and Buck (144B Newbury St., 617-262-1776) feels as if Tim Gunn decided to open a hunting lodge. American-made products dominate this Back Bay shop, where among mounted animal heads and paper targets customers can peruse Tellason jeans, Ball and Buck’s own line of extra-durable pants and more. Founder Mark Bollman hails from a long line of hunters, an upbringing that gives this no-nonsense brand a feel of honest, American authenticity. Ball and Buck also carries a wealth of grooming items, luggage and other accessories, including handmade Maxx & Unicorn wallets and Zippo lighters. Bollman originally aimed to offer indispensible items to the American male. We think he has more than succeeded. —Paul Adler

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. Both eminently posh and utterly accommodat-ing, this area has born witness to much of the city’s storied past. The State House—with its gleaming gold dome—sits on the peak of the hill where the beacon for which the district was named used to reside. In this neighborhood, visitors can also find the African Meeting House, which holds the Muse-um of African-American History, as well as the Bull and Finch Pub, the inspiration for the popular TV show, “Cheers.” Charles Street, located at the flat of the hill, is lined with boutiques, restaurants, cafes and charming hotels. Locals descend the hill daily to enjoy all that Charles Street has to offer, adding to the feeling of small-town charm.

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 Public Library, the John Hancock Tower and two sprawling shopping malls con-nected by a climate-controlled bridge. You’ll also find standout salons, spas, antique shops and galleries throughout.

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 sweet scent of fresh cannoli rises from countless Italian bakeries that permeate this neighbor-

hood’s narrow cobblestone streets, while 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 bou-tiques 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 happen to be strolling The Freedom Trail, you’ll discover three of the North End’s most important historical sites: The Paul Revere House, Copp’s Hill Burying Ground and the Old North Church. Summertime brings people into the streets to celebrate various Italian feasts with music, socializing and, of course, sensational food.

To call S. EpaTha MErkErSon onE of the most recognizable faces in show business would be to sell this celebrated actress short. Considering her role of Anita Van Buren on nearly 400 episodes of “Law and Order,” for which she became the longest running African-American character in the history of television, as well as parts in movies ranging from T2 to Steven Spielberg’s upcoming Lincoln, this dedi-cated actress has truly altered American culture. Merkerson was raised in Detroit, where she eventually attended Wayne State University. “It was my sister who first got me interested in performance,” says Merkerson. “She was a dancer in high school and the first time I saw her on stage I thought that was something I really wanted to do. In college I was actually a dance major but after my friend invited me to attend acting classes and I eventually changed my major to performance.” This was a fortuitous decision for Merkerson, who soon moved to New York City and realized her dream of performing on Broadway, earning a Tony Award nomination after

appearing in August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-wining play, The Piano Lesson. After 17 years on the hit show “Law and Order,” Merkerson turned in her badge for the director’s chair. She became executive producer and co-director of a new documentary, The Con-tradictions of Fair Hope, which follows one of the last African-American benevolent societies still in existence. “They were organizations cre-ated after emancipation as a means for newly freed slave communities to bury their dead,” says Merkerson of the society. The winner of a Golden Globe, Obie Award, numerous Emmy and Screen Actor’s Guild awards, as well as four NAACP Image Awards, Merkerson seems to relish her new role, mus-ing, “I like being behind the camera. I think I am sort of an alpha person anyway; so being in charge is good for me.” —Paul Adler

S. Epatha MErkErSonWith an impressive resume and a fleet of roles on the horizon, this “Law & Order” alum is just getting started.
