What Boston’s Buzzing aBout

The TudorBest known for wedding and beheading a few

unfortunate ladies, Henry VIII was also the subject of William Shakespeare’s final

history play—the one that ultimately led to the demise of London’s historic

Globe Theatre thanks to an errant cannonball. The always-innovative Actors’ Shakespeare Project takes

on the volatile king and his court with performances through January

5 at the Modern Theatre at Suffolk University (525 Washington St.). The

rarely produced play is bound to be a treat for Shakespeare fans and history

buffs alike. Tickets are $28–50 and can be found at actorsshakespeareproject.

Ice, Ice, BaBy Unless you’re a hockey player or a figure skater, chances are you don’t spend a lot of time on the ice rink—unless it happens to be wintertime in the Hub. Outdoor rinks are now open throughout Boston and Cambridge. Our favorites include the Frog Pond (above), by far the most recognizable of Boston’s outdoor skating rinks (617-635-2120). This quaint sheet of ice on Boston Common is a treasured holiday tradition for many families. Over in Cambridge, you’ll find rinks at the Charles Hotel (617-864-1200) and Kendall Square, just off the Red Line (617-492-0941). And new to Boston this year, the Boston Harbor Hotel (617-439-7000) is home to an intimate rink under the grand rotunda with breathtaking—and no doubt breezy—views of the water. All rinks are open daily, though hours and prices vary. Call for more information. —Jake Murray

A Bond EvEning Ring in the new year in swanky style with Synergy Events’ Timeless: A Bond Evening at the Colonnade Hotel (120 Huntington Ave.). The annual affair has become known as one of Boston’s most exclusive New Year’s Eve parties, complete with a red carpet, a raucous dance floor, live entertainment and free-flowing drinks. This year’s theme is everyone’s favorite undercover agent, 007, and attendees are encouraged to dress accordingly—think Bond girl, villain or sexy spy. Five finalists in the event’s Bond Girl Contest, which has been ongoing since December 1, will attend the party along with Miss Massachusetts USA 2014, the official party host. A portion of the ticket sales benefits the nonprofit Home for Little Wanderers. The party starts at 8:30 p.m. on December 31. Find out more about the event and purchase tickets at synergynye.com. —Erica Jackson Curran

going PostAl The first time you visit Chef Steve “Nookie” Postal’s new Cambridge restaurant Commonwealth, you might think you’ve stumbled into an upscale foodie market. And you’d be right. The shelves are stocked with locally sourced produce, dairy products and baked goods, not only giving diners a glimpse of what they’re about to eat, but also inviting them to stock up on ingredients to create their own culinary magic at home. With its strong farm-to-table focus and rustic aesthetic, Commonwealth is a refreshing addition to tech-centric Kendall Square. Likewise, the menu is decidedly unfussy. For dinner, choose from a straightforward list of entrees such as Vermont quail, local hake and Pineland Farms beef shortrib. Sides like Brussels sprouts, duck fat fries and sugar pumpkin are served à la carte in shareable portions. Commonwealth is open for lunch, dinner and browsing daily, and it offers validated parking in the Kendall Square Garage just downstairs ($1 for three hours). Stop by 11 Broad Canal Way and check out the day’s menu at commonwealthcambridge.com. —Erica Jackson Curran

CrAzy for CoCo Boston is now home to one of the biggest—and most unique—Chanel

stores in the country. Modeled after Coco Chanel’s Paris apartment, the 10,000-square-foot, two-story space at 6 Newbury St. is a far cry from

its (much smaller) former location across the street in the Taj Hotel. The posh new boutique features a series of rooms where shoppers browse

the House’s iconic handbags, jewelry and accessories. Upstairs, you’ll find ready-to-wear and shoes along with luxe fitting rooms and a suite.

Displayed throughout the boutique are striking works of art from artists Antoine Poncet, Jean-Michel Othoniel, Mark Swanson and Liza Lou, many

of which reference art in Chanel’s Rue Cambon apartment. The store is open Monday–Saturday from 10 a.m.–6 p.m. and Sunday from noon–5 p.m.

Holiday SpiritSThe Hawthorne’s Flip Royal

City Bar’s Starry Night

At The Hawthorne (500 Commonwealth Ave., 617-532-9150), mixologists have con-cocted the Flip Royal (above left), a sophisti-cated interpretation of eggnog made with egg, salted rooibos tea syrup, King’s Ginger liqueur and angostura bitters topped with shaved cinnamon and nutmeg. Lucca (226 Hanover St., 617-742-9200; 116 Huntington Ave., 617-247-2400), a con-temporary Italian restaurant with locations in the Back Bay and North End, is serving a Mole Manhattan made with Bulleit rye, Godiva liqueur and Bittermens Xocolatl Mole bitters. Be sure to take advantage of the Back Bay spot’s dollar snack menu at the bar week-days until 7 p.m. City Bar’s Waterfront location (425 Sum-mer St., 617-443-0888) has created a dessert-nightcap hybrid with the Starry Night (above right), made of Patron XO Café, vanilla vodka and a salted caramel rim. Eastern Standard’s (528 Common-wealth Ave. 617-532-9100) cocktail menu boasts a section specifically for cold-weather drinks, including a classic Hot Buttered Rum. For something new, try the Apple Butter Toddy, a blend of Vida mezcal, house-made apple butter bitters, winter spice and salt.

The new kid on the cocktail bar block, Highball Lounge (90 Tremont St., 617-772-0202) serves lead bartender Shaher Misif ’s winter ginger Julep. It’s made from Woodford Reserve bourbon, hot mint tea and ginger cordial. Newly opened in the North End, ward 8 (90 N. Washington St., 857-350-4412) offers a classic Rye Flip, a smooth eggnog-esque blend of rye whiskey, cream, egg and sugar. Finch at the Boxer (107 Merrimac St., 617-778-2900) has the Ebenezer, a Scroogerific drink with gin, Aperol, smoked bitters and clove syrup. And for a sweeter sip, its white winter has Stoli Vanil, Godiva chocolate liqueur, steamed whole milk and a cinnamon stick. In the mood for something a little more innocent? Head to the Revere Hotel (200 Stuart St., 617-482-1800) every Friday through December 27 for a special Hot Chocolate Pop-up Shop. The events fea-ture fun twists on hot chocolate from some of Boston’s best chefs, such as Brian Poe’s Black Lava Salted Caramel with maple candied pecans and cinnamon whipped cream.

beacon hillAn old-world feeling awaits you in this quaint part of the city

Strolling along Beacon Hill’s picturesque gas-lit streets, brick sidewalks and Federal-style row houses, it’s not un-common to feel as though you’ve travelled back in time.

Both eminently posh and utterly accommodating, this area has borne witness to much of the city’s storied past. The State House—with its gleaming gold dome—sits on the peak of the hill where the beacon for which the district was named used to reside. In this neighborhood, visitors can also find the African Meeting House, which holds the Museum of African-American History, as well as the Bull and Finch Pub, the inspiration for the popular TV show, “Cheers.” Charles Street, located at the flat of the hill, is lined with boutiques, restaurants, cafes and charm-ing hotels. Locals descend the hill daily to enjoy all that Charles Street has to offer, adding to the feeling of small-town charm.

neighborhoods

Back BayThis famous neighborhood is truly the hub of the Hub

Exquisite architecture and world-class retailers are plen-tiful in Boston’s most well-known neighborhood. The Victorian brick and brownstone residences that line the

streets are not only beautiful, they’re widely regarded as the best-preserved examples of 19th-century urban design in the United States.

As the days get colder and darker, there’s no better time to indulge in afternoon tea. Luckily,

Back Bay has three spots where you can enjoy a proper cuppa that would make the Queen proud. The Courtyard Restaurant at the Boston Public Library (230 Dartmouth St., 617-859-2282, thecateredaffair.com, pictured) hosts afternoon tea on Wednesday–Friday from 2–4 p.m. Sip classic teas such as Earl Grey, Chamomile, Lemon Herbal and Matcha along with Japanese Sencha, White Wedding Tea and Dragon Pearl Jasmine. With your tea, try scones with fruit marmalade and Devonshire cream or cucumber tea sandwiches. Have a sweet tooth? Reach for petit fours like glazed lemon poppyseed cake, chocolate sinclairs and French macarons. The Taj Hotel (15 Arlington St., 617-536-5700, tajhotels.com) holds a formal afternoon tea every weekend in its luxe French Room. Sit underneath glass chandeliers as a harpist strums soothing notes and order a cup of Shanghai Rose or Floral Jasmine Green—or a champagne cocktail, if that’s more your mood. Pair your beverage with finger sandwiches and canapés, scones, pastries and petit fours. Reserva-tions are recommended. L’Espalier (774 Boylston St., 617-262-3023, lespalier.com) holds a Fantasy Tea Party on weekends featuring teas including L’Espalier Anniversary Blend, Gloucester Street Blend, Gunpowder Green and Boylston Breakfast Blend.

NORTH ENDFabulous cuisine, shopping and history are abundant in Boston’s Little Italy

Old North Church

Italian culture reigns in the North End, Boston’s oldest and busi-est neighborhood. The sweet scent of fresh cannoli rises from countless Italian bakeries that populate this district’s narrow

cobblestone streets, while the veritable buffet of dining choices will have you wishing there were more than three meals to en-joy in a day. Recently, clothing and home decor boutiques have been setting up shop here, making the North End an even more diverse and desirable destination. Don’t even try to find a park-ing space—it’s best to hop on the T or walk. If you happen to be strolling The Freedom Trail, you’ll discover three of the North End’s most important historical sites: The Paul Revere House, Copp’s Hill Burying Ground and the Old North Church. Summer-time brings people into the streets to celebrate various Italian feasts with music, socializing and, of course, sensational food.

Boston accent

Some people have trouble figuring out what they want to be when they grow up. For Peter Ballarin, that was never an issue. “I was in awe of people who didn’t know what they wanted to do. I always said, ‘Well, I’m probably going to open a restaurant.’ I always had an affection for it.” Coming from a long line of Venetian bakers—seven generations, to be exact— Ballarin grew up in the kitchen and had no intention of leaving. He opened Hungry i on Beacon Hill in 1978, and he’s been living his dream ever since. “You have to admire this indus-try to perform in it,” he notes. “It is very difficult and time-consuming and it’s stressful, but that’s part of the allure as well.…Every night when you start to open, you have this tension around 5 o’clock because you don’t know what’s really going to happen. It keeps you on your toes.” The Hungry i’s menu reflects Ballarin’s French training with dishes such as frog legs Provençal and loin of lamb Latrec with pan-seared shallots, merlot and Stilton cheese. Though Ballarin updates the menu season-ally, certain dishes—such as the venison au poivre noir and walnut pie—have anchored it

for decades due to customer demand. Having been on Charles Street for 35 years, Ballarin has watched many businesses come and go, yet he says the vibe of the neigh-borhood has stayed surprisingly consistent. “Charles Street is a little unchangeable,” he muses. “It keeps me going in that it’s time-less.…Particularly this time of year, it’s very Dickensian. You have the streetlamps, and the old buildings. If the cars weren’t here, you’d be back in time.” The restaurant itself, housed in a two-story 19th century brownstone, is

timeless. “It’s very old world. We have linen and china and silverware. We have all original art. I’ve been here so long that I don’t see it the same way as other people do. When people create new restaurants today, they tend to be sleeker. To me they all look the same, and I find that sad.…This is unique. It’s small, intimate and charming. You really feel that you’re entering someone’s home.” —Erica Jackson Curran
