Now that Donald Trump is eyeing Massachusetts for a new casino, what would life be like with Donald Trump sightings? Pretty cool, actually. The Track Girls can cover incidents in which the wind blows back his hair and shows what's underneath that critter sitting on his head. Maybe we'll get a taste of the Trump shenanigans that Gothamist sees on a regular basis, such as when Trump defied the ghosts of SoHo to build a......

Tunng With Geoff Farina (Karate, Secret Stars) and Brown Bird Middle East Upstairs Thursday, October 25 $10 advance / $12 doors // 18+ Yes, you do, and the band sounds as smooth as a tongue, rippled with tastebuds for (super)sonic texture.

At lunch today, this Bostonist found herself with a veritable hot Man-wich, that is, sandwiched between three attractive young professional males (two front/one behind) in the deli line. This caused us to wonder: is the Leather District really "the next Soho" of Boston? Bostonist has noticed at least three major condo developments going up within as many blocks of our place of employment — in fact, Lincoln Plaza, directly across the street, is already......
