Harvard's sex magazine, H Bomb, is … uh … coming soon, and the staff threw a naked party in New York, according to the Crimson. And they had quite a turnout:

The MBTA released the wrath of Charlie on the system for real today. December 4 marked the release of the long-promised plastic cards embedded with a chip to allow you to tap and go, rather than feed, wait, retreat with the paper CharlieTicket. They've got boxes full of zero-value CharlieCards to distribute, reportedly about a million before the end of the year, and are starting the effort with a full on blitz in T stations all week. T employees will be handing out the cards to riders at all the T stops and a small selection of bus hubs over the next week. We're still trying to figure out where the T will be sending the CharlieTruck. We grabbed a card underground this morning and dropped $5 on it. The process took 47 seconds – and that's with verification the funds transferred to the card. Just as fast as holding up four fingers and passing a five under the glass at a token booth. Oh, and just in case you thought it was all good news – one of CharlieVendingMachines was being serviced. Hopefully they'll be in better repair than the escalators on the T.

Trilogy, the construction project in the Fenway that's seemed to take forever, is slowly wrapping up the construction phase. The small road connecting Kilmarnock Rd to Brookline Ave (the small intersection with Fullerton St. near the Art Store) was paved and opened about a month ago. The construction chain link was also removed. The Trilogy project is finally progressing on the road to a functioning building. West Elm, Ikea with more color and a higher...

While perusing this week's issue of the Boston Phoenix we came across an ad for Old School Prom on the back page. It featured a young woman in yellow strapless prom dress, updo, and attitude-full look holding a massive mirror with the words "Now who's the fairest of them all?" written on it (as if to appeal to all the 'ugly duckings' out there who want to set the record straight). The details were...

There is something intriguing about snooping around your neighborhood to see what is going in the vacated spots that once housed a locally owned business. In February, many were surprised when arriving at Zathmary’s in Coolidge Corner for some matzah ball soup and the doors were locked, bread in front of the door, with no sign of life inside. The place was gone forever without a last chance to hit up the great salad bar. A few months later and around the corner, the Chinatown Seafood Restaurant was shut down abruptly and it was announced that Finale would be taking over the storefront. Sure, the constant reminder of their desserts won’t help on the walk to the gym, but the Strawberry Shortcake is damn good there.

Last month, fundraising for the Boston Museum Project reached the $4 million mark, a milestone for them, but still just a fraction of the $70 million projected total cost. The goal of the Boston Museum Project (BMP) is to construct a new museum showcasing Boston’s past, present, and future on parcel 12 of the soon-to-be created Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway.

When it comes to things that Bostonist loves, cheap and delicious food is high on the list. Enter Chacarero, that venerable institution of Downtown Crossing, serving nothing but delicious Chilean sandwiches. Unfortunately, as the biting air and crowding gloom of winter descend upon us, the prospect of standing in line for half an hour is daunting enough to make us pack a lunch from home. But the meat sandwich gods smiled on Bostonist today: We were walking along Province Street when we saw a storefront under renovation with a sign bearing the three little words every Bostonian wants to hear, "Coming Soon - Chacarero." A hurried inquiry to a busy-looking man inside (whom we later determined to be the co-owner, Juan Hurtado) indicated that the place will open for business on Monday. And there are actual tables inside. And chairs. And, most importantly, room to stand on line. Now no amount of cold can keep us from our beloved sandwich.

Everyone in Boston has seemingly fallen in love with the tabloid. The Herald—classic tabloid, The (Weekly) Dig—stapled, redesigned tabloid, The Metro—free tabloid, The Phoenix—booted the fold tabloid. The Boston Globe goes tabloid today with the launch of their new six times weekly (Mon-Sat) feature "Sidekick." Unlike the recent redesign over at the Phoenix, the Boston Globe will still fold twice, horizontal and vertical rise will be creased. James Reed will be editing Sidekick, which...

Last night, as Bostonist and Mrs. Bostonist were enjoying an episode of "Law & Order: SVU" (we totally knew the dad's boss was the rapist!), we saw for the first time a hint of the David E. Kelley-created terrors that await us later in the month. Yes, just as we were fully immersed in the enjoyment of the perfect legal drama, a commercial break brought us crashing back to reality, as we learned that July 28 will see the debut of "The Law Firm," Kelley's Apprentice-esque foray into reality TV.
