It's not often that an event, by its very existence, gives the lie to two powerful stereotypes about a place. But in a city known for neither its happy hours nor its tacos, Bella Luna's Taco Happy Hour does just that. Let's be clear. There are no five-cent beers at this happy hour, no discounted shots named after infamous sexual acts. But there are tacos. Four different kinds, all prepared on fresh corn tortillas, all......

The last helping of gefilte fish and horseradish has been consumed; three boxes of Peeps lay empty on the floor; by the time the alarm goes off tomorrow morning a battle will have been reenacted on the Lexington green – So we’re thinking about tomorrow and where we’ll be. We know that not everyone enjoys the benefits of a state holiday so some folks will actually be working as thousands travel the 26.2 from Hopkinton......

Boston seems to have all eyes focused on this weekend. Being Evacuation Day and St. Patrick’s day, along with a rare Friday when Catholics are allowed to mangez du boeuf the parties should be grand. However, Bostonist has our eyes set on the future instead. Saturday, March 25 to be exact. We’re holding a party at The Kinsale, co-sponsored by our friends at Like Life Boston. We’ve been blogging here in our tiny corner......

Because we love passing on the word about anything and everything that involves the word "free", Bostonist would like to inform you of some free burritos coming your way today. For those that don’t follow the going-ons of local eateries like Bostonist, you might not be aware that The Wrap restaurant chain, with all their sandwiches, burritos and smoothies, has gone through an identity crisis and has become “Boloco" (We heard this means "Boston Local......

Mama Bear Jen Chung made the top five. In fact, she’s number three. Bostonist recently stumbled upon our very own Katie listed on David Krug’s site as a “2006 Sleeper” for the top ten most powerful women in the blogosphere. In the spirit of High Fidelity, we really can’t get enough of these lists. The liberalcowboy (David Krug) put together one of the many lists on his site and titled it “10 Most Powerful Women......

This weekend The Baxter drops into theaters in Boston. It's one of those "now in select cities" things, and we're up. Bostonist has seen the trailers all over the place and we're actually looking forward to this movie. A comedy for anyone who's ever been dumped? check. It's from the folks at IFC and The Onion to boot. It stars Michael Showalter (Stella) and co-stars Paul Rudd (The 40-Year Old Virgin) and Michael Ian Black......

Bostonist will be hosting our second Happy Hour tonight at Middlesex in Cambridge and we'd love to see all of your smiling faces there. Things will kick off at 7p.m., so stop by, have a drink (or four), make a new friend (or two) and there is talk of some super secret door prize. You'll just have to show up to see what the hell it is. Bostonist will see you tonight... Directions: The Middlesex......

Monday morning. Back to work. Where's the weekend? It won't be Friday for another couple days. Don't worry. This week Bostonist is helping you get over the hump. Bostonist will be holding our second-ever Happy Hour Wednesday night at the Middlesex in Cambridge. Please do not misconstrue our assertions, we're not promising humping, only a way to get over-the-hump. The Middlesex Lounge will play host to the Bostonist Happy Hour on September 14, 2005 starting......

It was just seven months ago when Bostonist was released to the general public. The Gothamist network has added siblings almost as fast as pandas have been born around the country. Bostonist is holding our second-ever Happy Hour to belatedly celebrate our half birthday. This time we’re taking the show across the river. Middlesex County, and specifically the Middlesex Lounge, will play host to the Bostonist Happy Hour on September 14, 2005 at 7 p.m.......

As Bostonist walked home from a very important post-work meeting (Happy Hour), we were a little confused when we came to the Park Street T stop to find it surrounded by police cars, ambulances, and blocked off with yellow "Police Line: Do Not Cross" tape. At first, we assumed that some T skidded off the tracks or someone passed out due to the heat in one of those special unair-conditioned cars that we all love.......

One last reminder for those people who can't remember what they had for dinner last night, nevermind something like a Happy Hour announced last week. Bostonist Happy Hour Tonight 6:30pm Beantown Pub 100 Tremont Street (Very T-friendly: right near Park St. T stop) See you tonight!......

Start off the upcoming holiday weekend early on Thursday night at the first (of many, hopefully) Bostonist Happy Hour at the Beantown Pub. Put it in your Blackberry so you won't forget (or just write it on your good ol' desk calendar like the technologically savvy Bostonist). We hope to see you all there! Bostonist Happy Hour Thursday, June 30th 6:30pm Beantown Pub 100 Tremont Street (Very T-friendly: right near Park St. T stop)......

Now that summer is officially here, Bostonist has decided to celebrate with a beer. We'd like to invite you out there to join us for a few drinks at the very first Bostonist Happy Hour next week. Stop by and say hello, give us feedback/ideas, and of course inform us of the grammatical errors you've come across on the site during our first few months. We might have to call into work sick Friday if......

Okay, Bostonist has never been one to have any interest in attending a flower show...lots of flowers, lots of older people, lots of boredom. But perhaps with the recent slamming of awful weather on the city, or the boredom of watching MTV all weekend, the New England Flower Show might just be the brightening up that Bostonist needs. Starting this Sunday, March 13th at the Bayside Expo and running thru Saturday, March 19th, this annual......

Okay, all of us cubicle slaves have almost made it through another week working for "the man." Since it is Thursday, what better way to celebrate such a feat than by hitting the local taverns/restaurants for some drinks, apps, and gossip about the new guy in Marketing. Bostonist loves its Happy Hour time (and would go each day after work in financially possible), so here a few random places to try for some post-work amusements.......
