It's official: the Boston food industry crowd is in love with Craigie on Main, the newly expanded venture of Cambridge chef Tony Maws (formerly of Craigie Street Bistro). On a recent visit to the new space, this Bostonist spotted employees from Green Street, Eastern Standard, Dante and Drink bellying up to the bar. Here, wunderkind Tom Schlesinger-Guidelli, recently of Eastern Standard himself, was mixing up rye cocktails and housemade vermouths to rival any served at these other temples of mixology. more ›

When Bostonist arrived at the Hendrick's-sponsored Beantown Bartender Battle last night, we found a table piled with gleaming cocktail shakers, cans of Barritt's ginger beer, copious bottles of gin, Pimm's No. 1, and our favorite saints, Germain and Elizabeth. And that was the tip of the iceberg. more ›

Highland Kitchen is a little off the beaten path—it’s situated somewhere in the no man’s land between Davis Square, Porter Square, and Union Square. But with a laid-back vibe, delicious Bayou-influenced food, and a fantastic cocktail menu, it’s well worth the trek. And if you don’t want to hoof it, never fear: There’s parking in the back, if you’re lucky enough to snag a spot. Bostonist went on a recent Saturday night to check out the new restaurant, owned by former Green Street Grill chef Mark Romano. more ›

Today most of the MBTA system will be running on a Saturday schedule anticipating lighter rider-ship on the Martin Luther King holiday.

A tip to the blog Charlie on the MBTA indicates that the T’s Trip Planning website is having... more ›

You can take the T to Green Street, but you can’t take your car. Well, you can take your car to the Green Street Station on the Orange Line. There’s on street parking not too far by, but please, please, don’t put your car inside the Green Street Station. After cracking down on 123 Party! and their dancing “antics” on Boylston Street the police moved down to Jamaica Plain to stop more dangerous art before... more ›

Sitting outside on a grassy patch next to flip-flop and business suit clad Bostonians seems like a recipe for snippets of wonderment. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. As the weather turns from Spring to Winter to Summer (it’s New England, right?) we’ve got our ears open and hope you do, too. When you hear something, say something.
