The sky was pearl blue with white marble swirls. It was sunny in Boston with a hint of an early spring if not for the slicing, icy winds. It was February, 2007. I was walking through Back Bay, down Princeton St. I had been shooting pictures that day throughout photo-friendly Boston with my 35mm SLR.

At the base of the Prudential Building I discovered a bronze nude, about 10 to 12 ...

Stone walls. Friendly and professional wait staff. Romantic lighting. Classic Italian Cuisine. Extensive Wine List.

Sound good?

Then don't hesitate to visit Davide's Ristorante in the North End of Boston. Famous for its Italian Cusine, this area of Boston boasts many fine dining establishments, both casual and fancy, but Davide is truly something special.

If you want to plan a special occasion at Davide they will be ...

My father nudged me on the shoulder, stirring me awake with a brusque, marine-like command to wake up.

"Wake up! Let's go. Up and at 'em!" he barked.

With barely-awake, squinted eyes I peered through the passenger window of our '85 Buick Regal, noting the dark red brick of Stratton Hall - my freshman home at Tufts University.

"I like brick...," I thought to myself, unable to muster a more ...

Don't know where to take your significant other this summer?  If you like funky martinis, lively music, good food and a fantastic view, then look no further than The Odyssey.  The catch?  You need to have decent sea legs. 

Set sail on an Odyssey Cruise and you will be treated to a night of elegant romance.  Watch the sun set as it dips behind the buildings of Boston, sip a cocktail ...

Conveniently located between two of Boston’s prime shopping venues, at Copley Place and the Prudential Center, Gourmeli’s at the Marriott Boston Copley Place is an upscale family restaurant at the Terrace Lounge courtyard one floor above street level.

We return often, as much for the ambience and friendly service as the excellent food. The restaurant’s famous buffets are offered daily and on special holidays throughout the year.

One of the best things about Boston is that it is both relatively small and very well layed out.  Tagged "the walking city," this is indeed a city that can easily be walked, especially the areas around Fanheil Hall, Beacon and Newberry Streets, and the North End.  But supposing you want to get from one area to the other without walking, supposing it's raining and unlovely for walking, supposing all ...

Boston's cultural and social contributions are wide ranging and numerous, and although not a usual tourist destination, the Boston's Holocaust memorial is well worth the visit to anyone interested in history or art.  It is heart-wrenching, one of the more emotionally charged memorials I've seen (and I've been to D. C. several times, walked the National Mall).  So this is not the ideal "date" place to visit, but it is memorable ...

94 years strong, the Franklin Park Zoo offers something new each time I visit.  Located in Boston's historic Franklin Park, the 72-acre attraction entertains the child in everyone. 

Greeted by the towering black iron gates, once inside this majestic park your curiosity of what lies within beckons your call.  For the smallest of visitors the park acclimates the tots by introducing them slowly to the animals by offering a farm petting zoo. 

Be sure to fuel your ...

I've always been a girly girl. You know us, we wore the shiny patent leather shoes and refused to get them or our clothes dirty. Then as we got older, we started scouring Cosmo for fashion and make-up tips, and we had a thing for mirrors, shiny lip gloss, and combs (those big, fat one's with the long handle that we'd stick in our Gloria Vanderbilt jeans back pocket). Who ...

Off the cuff fun - found in the most unusual and unsuspecting places ~

While attending a weekend conference focused on Women, Action and the Media located within MIT Stata Center in Cambridge, I found a site not likely to be listed on any tourist map.  

Begin your journey by parking in the always ...
