• Posted Oprah's Crew Visits for the Weekend to Bostonist
  Before the book clubs, car giveaways, and Bob Greene, Bostonist didn't really mind Oprah and her show. Then Ms. Winfrey began her path to spiritual bliss and started her magazine, and now she is a guru of anything having to do with females. So, she’s now pairing up with her own set of “gurus” and is hosting the O You! event this Saturday at the Boston Convention Center. For a measely(!) $95 resgistration fee, you...
• Posted Finnish Fashion to Join Cambridge to Bostonist
  The Finnish patterns of Marimekko first caught our eye while shopping in Crate and Barrel years back and we’ve been hooked ever since on its trippy patterns and bold colors.

In order to enter one of the participating museums for free, you must download...
• Posted Do-Gooders Rewarded with Caffeinated Jolt Today to Bostonist
  The MBTA has teamed up with Dunkin Donuts today to launch part of their Courtesy Counts campaign, which will reward nice transit users with a $2 Dunkin Donuts gift certificate on the T, buses, and commuter rails. If you give up your seat to an expectant mother or help a clueless tourist figure out the Red Line, you might be a lucky winner. Unfortunately, only 25 MBTA employees are closely watching for niceness, with a...
