What Boston’s Buzzing aBout
You’ll Shoot Your EYE out Thanks to all-day marathons on cable TV, the 1983 movie A
Christmas Story is as much a fixture of the holiday season as Christmas trees and mistletoe. Author Jean Shepherd’s story
of young Ralphie Parker’s quest for an official Red Ryder® Carbine-Action 200-shot Range Model Air Rifle is beloved by all
generations, so it’s no surprise that it made a successful transition to the stage. Directed by John Rando, A Christmas Story, The
Musical was nominated for three Tony Awards (Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score) following its 2012 run on Broadway, and now it’s making a stop at Boston’s Wang Theatre
November 20–December 8. Expect to see the same shenanigans you’ve come to expect—pole-licking, dog-chasing and
one very sexy leg lamp—along with original songs by Benj Pasek and Justin
Paul. Find out more at citicenter.org/redryder. —Erica Jackson Curran

Change how You See YourSelf Up for an afternoon exploring the mysteries of human biology? As soon as you step inside the Hall of Human Life at the Museum of Science (refer to listing, page 18), opening November 16, you’re invited to take a journey inside your own body and experience a multisensory, hands-on exhibition revolutionizing the way we engage with and understand our health and bodies. You’ll face far-reaching questions and take on experiments to learn how food, organisms, physical forces, time and communities change us biologically, how we change them and how those changes shape the future of our species. Through digital media and personal interaction, you become part of the story, and your experiences and answers will help evolve the exhibition. What you find may change the way you look at yourself and others. Additional information is at mos.org. —Samantha DiMauro

Browse Boston
Back Bay: Newbury Street, with its charm-ing brownstones and tree-lined walkways, is the heart of Boston’s shopping scene—and with good reason. The street is home to a mix of high-end clothiers, favorite chain stores, funky boutiques, salons, galleries and restau-rants. And just a few blocks away, you’ll find two of the city’s best malls: Copley Place and the Shops at Prudential Center.Don’t miss: Lunch on the patio at Stephanie’s on Newbury, handmade treasures at the Society of Arts and Crafts and sweets at Robin’s Candy.
charles street: After you take your ubiquitous photo of Acorn Street on Beacon Hill, enjoy a stroll down Charles Street, the neighborhood’s commercial artery. It’s easy to imagine yourself living above one of the shops on this community-oriented street, which is known for its Brahmin boutiques and intimate eateries. Don’t miss: Gifts at Black Ink, boots at Helen’s Leather and cocktails at jail-turned-bar Clink.
North eNd: Synonymous with Italian pas-ta, pastries and pizza, the North End is also an excellent place to shop. There are clothing boutiques sprinkled among the restaurants of Hanover Street, plus a number of specialty food shops tucked away on side streets. Allow yourself to wander and discover the hidden gems of this neighborhood.Don’t miss: Custom denim at in-jean-ius, loose-leaf tea at Polcari’s and gelato at Caffe Pompei.
Whether you’re label-obsesseD or a staunch locavore, boston’s retail scene offers a bevy of browsing opportunities. Get to know the city’s distinct neighbor-hoods before striking out on your own shopping adventure.
FaNeuil hall Marketplace: More than 75 shops and specialty pushcarts are centered in this historic marketplace, a must on any visitor’s to-do list. Stock up on Boston-themed souve-nirs, watch the street performers and save room for lunch, because the extensive food court has everything from cupcakes to chowder.Don’t miss: Custom artwork at Best Gift Idea Ever, commemorative ornaments at Christmas in Boston and macaroons from Kilvert & Forbes.
south eNd: Slightly off the beaten path, the South End has a more local vibe than some of Boston’s other shopping districts and is worth a visit for its unique specialty shops and award-winning restaurants.

caMBridge: Harvard Square has been the center of Cambridge activity since the 17th century, and it’s still a bustling shopping desti-nation today. Thanks to its high student popu-lation, the area has a slightly more bohemian feel than Boston, and you’ll find everything from a shop that sells only hemp products (The Hempest) to the only brick-and-mortar Curious George store in the world.Don’t miss: Harvard gear at The Coop, vintage goodies at the Garment District and coffee from Crema.

beacon hillAn old-world feeling awaits you in this quaint part of the city
Strolling along Beacon Hill’s picturesque gas-lit streets, brick sidewalks and Federal-style row houses, it’s not un-common to feel as though you’ve travelled back in time.
Both eminently posh and utterly accommodating, this area has borne 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 Museum 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 charm-ing hotels. Locals descend the hill daily to enjoy all that Charles Street has to offer, adding to the feeling of small-town charm.

Back BayThis famous neighborhood is truly the hub of the Hub
Exquisite architecture and world-class retailers are plen-tiful in Boston’s most well-known neighborhood. The Victorian brick and brownstone residences that line the
streets are not only beautiful, 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 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. Nightlife thrives in Back Bay as well, where chic hotel bars, world-class restaurants and swanky lounges abound.

When you’re walking down Newbury Street, consider this: About 150 years ago, you would
have been underwater. The popular shopping street and the surrounding Back Bay was comprised of tidal flats along the Charles River until the early 1800s. Using soil brought in from nearby communities, the filling of 450 acres in the Back Bay started in 1857, with an average depth of 20 feet. The land was filled to Clarendon Street by 1860, to Exeter Street by 1870 and was completed in 1882. Once on solid ground, Newbury Street started taking shape, borrowing its name from the victory of the Puritans in the 1643 Battle of Newbury in England. The street’s first building was Emmanuel Church at 15 Newbury, which still boasts a thriving congregation to this day. (Visitors of all faiths are welcome to the 10 a.m. Sunday service.) The street and the surrounding area took cues from European design, and the tony brownstones and wide boule-vards were originally home to Boston’s elite. By the latter part of the century, the street was one of the most sought-after addresses in the city thanks to the buildings’ large size and modern amenities, including indoor plumbing and coal-burning furnaces. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology also called Newbury Street home from 1865–1916 before moving across the river to Cambridge. The first commercial business opened on Newbury in 1905, and over the years more and more shops, salons, galleries and other establishments moved in, adding large glass windows to show off their wares. Slowly but surely, the street became known as a major retail destination, and today, many refer to it as the “Rodeo Drive of the East.” For a peek at the present, stroll down Newbury Street over the next few weeks and see its shops in their holiday finery. The Newbury Street League hosts the annual Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony on Tuesday, November 19 at 5:30 p.m. at CafeTeria (279-A Newbury St.). —Erica Jackson Curran

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 busi-est neighborhood. The sweet scent of fresh cannoli rises from countless Italian bakeries that populate this district’s narrow
cobblestone streets, while the veritable buffet of dining choices will have you wishing there were more than three meals to en-joy 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 park-ing 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. Summer-time brings people into the streets to celebrate various Italian feasts with music, socializing and, of course, sensational food.

Boston accent
Rhett PRice was touRing texas with a country band when he had his ah-ha moment. During a sound check, he started playing Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” on his violin. The drummer and bassist joined in, and when they stopped playing, the audience went wild. “Everyone freaked out because it was some-thing they’d never seen before,” the 24-year-old says. “After that, it was all I could think about. I couldn’t get it out of my head.” He bought a one-way ticket to Boston, and two weeks later, he was playing Macklemore and Michael Jackson around the Hub’s parks and T stations. Not long after that, a video of him playing Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble” went viral on YouTube, garnering well over a million views and calls from national media. Price had originally moved to Boston three years earlier to attend Berklee, yet he quickly fell on hard times. Unable to afford the high costs of tuition and city living, he spent several months sleeping on friends’ couches and in Berklee practice rooms. During the day, he tried to make money by playing around the city. “I would get up every morning and go out to the Common and play by myself,” he says. “There was one day I was like, ‘Wow, I have $2 to my name. If I don’t go out and play today, I won’t eat.’” That’s when he decided to move back to Texas, where he saved up money tour-
ing with the aforementioned country outfit. Upon his return to Boston, Price started playing regularly with his friend and fellow violinist Josh Knowles. As winter set in, they headed underground. “I worked really hard the whole time we were busking,” Price says. “I was like, this is not what I want to do with my life.” He used the money to invest in business cards and flyers. He also posted dozens of videos on YouTube. But everything changed when a filmmaker friend created a video of the duo playing the Swift song. Price started getting calls to perform gigs all
over Boston, and he stopped busking. Instead, he spent his free time putting together a band in which his violin is the lead singer. While you probably won’t see Price playing his violin the next time you’re waiting for the T, he now regularly performs in venues through-out the city. Focused on writing original songs, planning a tour and taking lessons from a New England Conservatory teacher, Price feels con-fident about his future. “I’m not too worried,” he says. “I think as long as I keep going with my intuition, I’ll be OK.” —Erica Jackson Curran
