Happy Father's Day! For those of you who have dads, are dads, or know dads, this one's for you, from all of us at the Gothamist network. It was a week of bizarre, embarassing headlines at DCist. The trial of the local administrative law judge who sued his cleaners for $54 million over a pair of missing pants left everyone shaking their heads. Then the capital city was nearly brought to its knees, twice, by... more ›

Before Bostonist could make it to one of the hundreds of Dunkin’ Donuts locations to try their Caramel Creme and Mocha Almond latte flavors (just released for the holidays), we heard about a contest: Free coffee for life - could it be true? Dunkin’ Donuts is asking patrons to tell their story about the great lengths to which they’ve gone for a cup of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. With a location within arms' reach* anywhere in the city, Dunkin’ Donuts is exceedingly convenient, but Bostonist has to admit that sugar and cream with a little bit of coffee tastes just as good no matter where we buy it. Entries in the contest must be received by next Monday (November 28) to qualify. If you’ve descended Mt. Washington, Mt. Everest, or Mt. Kilimanjaro just to grab a cup o’ arabica, Bostonist is sure you’ve got a leg up on this contest. John Glenn can’t claim a return trip to Earth for this contest, though: it isn’t open to Ohio residents. more ›

Of course, true fans will do what it takes to see their team, but what do you do when you just want some of that good old-fashioned, American baseball goodness without all the hassle? Bostonist goes to a minor league game. We are lucky to have two nearby Sox farm teams, the class AAA Pawtucket Red Sox (also known as the PawSox) and the class A Lowell Spinners (also known as "who? where?"). Each is about an hour away and offers distinct charms. more ›
