Was this photo taken recently or 100 years ago? We really can't tell, and that is one of the reasons why we think gnarayan is so gosh-darn talented. The light and shadow play is just fantastic, and how did he manage to get access to this scene anyway? So good.......

Full disclosure: sushiesque writes for Bostonist, and while we try to make PotD impartial, we just couldn't pass up this supercool shot taken at the new Roadhouse restaurant in Brookline. Oh, and check out our preview of the joint if you missed it.......

Back in the day, saying “I go to Harvard” was enough to impress the masses, but in the internet age, having a big brain or a big wallet apparently isn’t enough. You also have to definitively prove that you possess genitalia, as exemplified by the exploits of Lena Chen and now Matthew DiPasquale and Diamond, Harvard's new "porn" “magazine.” Bostonist is going to try really, really hard not to string together any words that......

Today is a beautiful day for a picnic by the river. Doesn't this photo give the feeling like you're already sitting on the Esplanade? There's so much variety in the flora, and the woman seems so serene. She doesn't care if someone is taking her picture that might end up on Bostonist. Nice job, shoothead. Write us, woman in white!......
