Well, now you know how to get around and where to drink. How about where to get some cheap grub? There's lots of great food in this city, it just takes some exploring to find it. Want some pizza? Try Pizzeria Regina, one of the cornerstones of the North End since 1926. Order a Formaggio Bianco pizza and ask the waitress for some extra garlic olive oil. For Sicilian-style slices, visit Pinocchio's Pizza in......

Despite what Bostonist is now calling "The Debacle" of last night, other stuff happened today. --The weather will be appropriately "dreary" on the day during which the Rolling Rally was scheduled. But at least it will be easier to vote! [Boston Globe] --Speaking of elections, many of the presidential candidates are looking for Massachusetts love. [WBZ] --The mother of Imette St. Guillen, who was murdered by a bouncer in New York City, has filed......

Shalom Auslander Reading Thursday, October 11, 7:00 pm Brookline Booksmith Free More info From far away Shalom Auslander's memoir looks delicate and sweet, with lightly outlined white images traced on a red background. The title appears in a cursive font with looping letters. Then you look at the actual words on the cover--Foreskin's Lament.

Well...that was a little scarier than it had to be, wasn't it? While Curt Schilling was completely dominating and mastering the Angels lineup, the Red Sox lineup took their sweet time getting around to dominating the game. So for a game that ended 9-1, there was an awful lot of fingernail chewing and knuckle whitening. The Sox did take the lead, insurmountable as it turned out, in the fourth, when Papi and Manny went deep......

--More cross-dressing criminals! Dr. Richard Sharpe, the dermatologist who liked to play dress-up and who shot his wife to death in 2000, is going on trial Monday for trying to hire a hit man to kill the prosecutor who sent him to jail. Sharpe thought that if he could take out Essex County prosecutor Robert Weiner, he might have a shot at an appeal. This isn't the first time crazy thoughts have floated through Sharpe's......

OK, Tedy Bruschi is not dead. Our Redux has it covered. But how on earth did this Bruschi-Is-Dead mess get started? Someone contacted Fox 25. And all hell broke loose somehow. Tom Curran at the NBC Sports blog put the rumor to rest. And then he changed his post a little bit. An astute observer in the comments noted what Curran took out: Why'd you take out the earlier reference to Fox 25 in Boston?......

Baby its cold outside. The weather has brought us temperatures that we’re not quite ready to handle. Bostonist doesn’t want to go outside and find our next meal. Sitting in our apartment we’re deciding if we’re going to venture out and sit in a toasty restaurant to dig up dinner or if take out or, better yet, delivery is in our future. Where do we turn? The internets of course. Two new services have made......

Bostonist doesn’t know anyone in the contract killing business. Perhaps we could go about it the same way a Concord man admits to pursuing a hit man to take out his wife. Yesterday the trial of Harold Stonier began, with Stonier acting as his own lawyer. He admitted that he had taken action to have his wife killed but wanted to back out of the deal.
