What Boston’s Buzzing aBout
Scent-SationalIf you haven’t yet discovered New York-based, obsession-
worthy beauty brand Kiehl’s Since 1851 (112 Newbury St., 617-247-1777), it may be time to stop by a store
and hop on the bandwagon. This celebrity favorite is known for everything from moisturizer to lip balm, and
now they’re throwing something new into the mix. Coined Aromatic Blends, this scented body collection
is made up of simple, natural ingredients that take your senses on a trip around the globe. Fragrances including orange flower and lychee are inspired by
trips to Morocco and China, while the vanilla and cedarwood combination takes its cues from Uganda
and the southern U.S. Each is available as a body cleanser, body lotion and fragrance. Bonus! Two lucky Panorama readers can win a full Aromatic Blends set, valued at $125. To enter, like Panorama on Facebook and tell us why you love Boston. —Samantha House

on the cool cuSp CUSP, the contemporary clothing and accessories boutique from big name department store Neiman Marcus, launched its free-standing shops in 2006 and has amassed a total of six nationwide. While we’ve been sitting here waiting for them to open one in our fair city, they were busy scheming. The hip brand recently consolidated its efforts and opened a concept called a shop-in-shop, which is basically a CUSP boutique inside Neiman Marcus (5 Copley Place, 617-536-3660). The cute boutique offers items from more affordable and—dare we say—trendier designers such as Alice + Olivia, DVF, Rag & Bone, Vince, Theory, Alexander Wang and Phillip Lim. Add it to the list of places to find cool gear in Boston. Can you say shopping spree? —Samantha House

AsiAn sensAtion There’s a new kid on the block when it comes to
top-notch Asian fusion. Empire Asian Restaurant and Lounge (One Marina Park Drive, 617-295-0001) boasts
not only some of the best sushi in town, but also sports some seriously expansive digs. Roughly 14,000 square
feet of elegant seating areas, beautiful traditional artwork and a breathtaking bar await all who enter
this waterfront gem. Established by Big Night Entertainment Group, the minds behind the beloved
Red Lantern, Empire offers an astounding array of quality pan-Asian cuisine and superb mixed drinks. Pot
stickers, sushi, dumplings and even pad thai are all on the menu at this glitzy new culinary outpost in the up-
and-coming Innovation District. —Paul Adler
Dive inThe Colonnade Hotel (120 Huntington Ave., 617-424-7000) provides a luxurious city escape with accommodations to match—including arguably the best rooftop pool in Boston. The aptly named “The Roof Top Pool” is open during warm months and is complete with a panoramic view of Boston’s Back Bay. Guests lounge poolside 11 stories high with the convenience of a food cabana, which serves light fare as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Access for non-hotel guests is limited to Monday through Friday and comes with a price tag of $50 per person for a full day and $25 per person from 3 p.m. until close. —Miho Sato

HArbor HotspotWhen most think of an alley, it conjures visions of a dark and seedy recess. We have an alley that just might change your mind. Enter The Alley Bar at Rowes Wharf (Rowes Wharf, Atlantic Ave., 617-748-1857). This quaint watering hole overlooks Boston’s scenic waterfront and makes for a great spot to enjoy a reviving summer cocktail. Sip on inspired mixed drinks such as The Alley Cat, made with vodka, mint, Serrano simple syrup and fresh lime and garnished with cilantro, or the Scary Thoughts, with rum, Orgeat almond, lime juice and a blueberry syrup float. After a round or two of fun concoctions, dive into delicious treats such as salty corn tortillas with tomato salsa or smoked salmon bruschetta and marinated wild mushrooms. —Jagnoor Walha

With locations in both Boston and Cam-bridge, Charles River Canoe and Kayak (617-965-5110, paddleboston.com) is the area’s finest and most affordable way to break a sweat while hitting the waves. Originally founded in Newton, this rental and instruc-tion outlet has been catering to water-eager Bostonians since 1973, offering a five-star paddling menu, complete with kayak, canoe, paddleboat and paddleboard rental options, as well as group rates, guided tours, races and lessons. Sometimes it’s best to let the wind do the work. Community Boating, Inc. (21 David Mugar Way, 617-523-1038) is the place to raise mast and set sail. Since 1946, CBI has been known for its junior program, which pro-vides youth with classes in sailing, windsurf-ing and kayaking, as well as special events and field trips to other Boston-area waterfronts. If you’re not in the mood to don a bathing suit, explore Boston’s historic waterfront by land and by sea on a ride with Super Duck

tours (refer to listing, page 59). On these enjoyable and informative rides you can see the city in style before safely plunging into Boston Harbor, an area other Duck Tours are unable to explore. With top-of-the-line vehicles and an accommodating staff, these tours are certainly super. Or stay dry while hitting the seas in style. Sunset cruises with Cruise Boston (refer to listing, page 52) and Charles Riverboat Company (refer to listing, page 52) mix cock-tails and skylines for an endlessly memorable night. Both also offer sightseeing tours on Boston Harbor and the Charles River and are host to the official tour of the Boston Society of Architects, highlighting the Hub’s finest feats in architectural design. Looking to leave the city behind? Boston’s Best Cruises (617-770-0040, bostonsbestcruises.com) offers all this and more. Catch a ride with them at the New England Aquarium and have a day whale watching or visiting the Boston Harbor Islands.

Take a break from bosTon’s endless bustle this summer and make way for paradise. A hop, skip and jump past the Freedom Trail, Newbury Street and Faneuil Hall lies a world of endless sunshine and roll-ing waves. We may not be known for it, but Greater Boston has nearly 20 urban saltwa-ter beaches, and they’re some of the finest stretches of sand New England has to offer. Below is Panorama’s exclusive rundown of the area’s four must-see seashores. nantasket beach (213 Nantasket Ave., Hull) has been booming as a saltwater oasis for more than a century. Stretching an impres-sive 1.3 miles, this 26-acre beach of fine, gray sand is best at low tide, when beach-goers can trek towards the horizon for a mid-Atlantic swim. Though its boardwalk is not what it was in its heyday, there are still countless options for food and drink. Plus, the Paragon Carousel is a quaint highlight of yesteryear, sparking memories of Nantasket’s rich amusement park history. South Boston adds a number of top-notch beaches to Beantown’s repertoire, but none quite as fine as standout Carson beach (Babe Ruth Road and William J. Day Blvd.,
Revere Beach
South Boston). Carson is known for being pleasantly uncrowded, exceptionally clean and dog-friendly. Great for swimming, picnicking, biking and fishing, this seaside gem is a mini-vacation waiting to happen. revere beach (Revere Beach Blvd., Re-vere) is perhaps the area’s best-known beach and a hotspot for locals. Founded in 1886, Revere is the nation’s first public beach and is universally hailed for its two-mile stretch of sand and sun. Unique flair comes in the form of Victorian-style pavilions that dot the beach. Though there are a number of noteworthy restaurants in the area, Kelly’s Roast Beef—creator of the original roast beef sandwich—is a bastion of delicious, history-making dishes. Rounding out our list of favorite saltwater destinations is Constitution beach (799 Bennington St., East Boston). This quaint, crescent-shaped gem is located right off the Blue Line at Orient Heights. Due to its location in a bay, Constitution’s waves are always placid, perfect for those who just want to wade in the water and grab some seaside color. Stay for the afternoon and watch as ma-jestic aircrafts from the nearby Logan Airport soar overhead. —Benjamin Lindsay

Dollars screens at this eclectic theater.Cambridge’s Kendall Square Cinema (355 Binney
St., 617-499-1995) is our final pick for catching indie flicks in the Hub. Built in 1995, this much-beloved the-ater has won its fair share of awards over the years. While Kendall shows mostly contemporary films, you can still catch a huge amount of foreign and indepen-dent works at this modern multiplex. —Paul Adler
When the heat is overwhelming and a heavy dose of air conditioning is on the menu, why
not seek shelter from the sun with some truly great films? Boston happens to be a veritable Eden of art house cinema, boasting some absolutely unique the-aters screening more than their fair share of all-time greats and classic movie masterpieces.
One of our favorites is the Coolidge Corner Theatre (290 Harvard St., 617-734-2501) in the nearby town of Brookline. Here, film buffs can find an awe-inspiring array of top-notch midnight movies, includ-ing From Dusk Till Dawn, Night of the Creeps and ultimate fan-favorite, The Room, just over the next few weeks. Coolidge Corner also shows numerous foreign, indie, art house and classic movies in its clean and comfortable digs.
The next stop on any filmic tour of the Hub should be The Brattle Theatre (40 Brattle St., 617-876-6837), found just over the river in Cam-bridge. The Brattle displays the very finest in silent, mid-century and classic movies and musicals, with a whole lot of funky finds thrown in.

The hub’s waTerfronT neighbor-hood, which includes the Fort Point area as well as a portion of South Boston, has recently been dubbed “The Innovation District.” Just a short stroll through the surprising streets of this up-and-coming area proves this to be an extremely apt title. The Innovation District’s newest attraction is undoubtedly the boston Tea Party ships & Museum (refer to listing, page 52), now open on the Congress Street Bridge. Here, visitors of all ages can trace the tumultuous history of our nation through re-creations of the 18th century vessels Beaver and Eleanor along with some eye-popping high-tech touches. Meanwhile, the nearby boston Children’s Museum (refer to listing, page 24) offers activities, education and entertain-ment for Beantown’s youngest visitors. Boston’s famed institute of Contempo-rary art (refer to listing, page 24) is yet anoth-er of the Innovation District’s world-renowned attractions. The city’s first new art museum in over a century, the ICA’s futuristic structure houses a wealth of installations, paintings, photographs and sculptures from some of the biggest names in contemporary art. If you feel a bit famished, there is no rea-son to leave the area. In fact, one of Boston’s very best restaurants is located right in Fort Point. sportello (refer to listing, page 73), James Beard Award-winning chef Barbara Lynch’s take on a classic diner, serves inspired Italian cuisine in its chic, sun-drenched dining room. Its lunchtime take-out, which includes homey “lunch boxes” and amazing sandwiches, happens to be one of the best meals in Boston. The fort Point arts Community (300 Summer St., 617-423-4299) offers an eclectic

and interesting way to round out any visit to the area. Always showcasing a wealth of talented area artists as well as number of unique pieces for sale, the FPAC currently exhibits a fascinat-ing three-woman show titled Fallen Cave Paintings: Mouhou, Touria and Zahra, through August 30. Whether you are looking for world-class art or just a little R and R, The Innovation District is a one-stop shop. —Paul Adler

Tea for Two…Thousand
a contest was held inviting Bostonians to guess the teapot’s capacity. Boston’s Sealer of Weights and Measures agreed to yield the official number.
More than 10,000 spectators looked on as eight boys and a man, who had concealed themselves in the pot beforehand, emerged from the massive kettle just as the measuring commenced. In the end, about 13,000 estimates were submitted and, just after 1 p.m. that day, it was declared that the pot’s capacity was 227 gallons, two quarts, one pint and three gills. Each of the eight winners took home about five pounds of tea.
Visitors can still find the kettle near Government Center, outside a (surprise, surprise) Starbucks Cof-fee. The teapot has been outfitted with a device that allows it to emit steam year-round, one more detail which will make this outsize kettle a strange sight for decades to come. —Paul Adler
A PEEk AT ThE PASTTaking the Mystery out of Boston History
Perhaps one of Boston’s weirdest wonders, a gigantic teapot hangs at the corner of Court and
Tremont streets in Boston’s Government Center. This massive teakettle was erected as a sign by the now-defunct Oriental Tea Company to draw in pass-ersby. Today, the supersized pot is still quite successful in this task, as it continually catches the eye of tourists and locals alike.
hicks & Badger, a company famous for building large boilers, originally manufactured the teapot in 1873. This expertise allowed them to produce one of the largest kettles in the country. The strange sign was originally placed on the south side of Scollay Square, and has been in numerous other locations over the years as different buildings came and went.
Not long after the kettle debuted, an extremely successful publicity stunt turned it into a perennial tourist attraction. On the first day of January 1875,

beacon hillAn old world feeling awaits you in this quaint part of the city
Walking along Beacon Hill’s picturesque gas-lit streets, brick sidewalks and Federal-style row houses, it’s not uncommon to feel as though you’ve travelled back
in time. Both eminently posh and utterly accommodating, this area has born 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.

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 busiest neighborhood. The sweet scent of fresh cannoli rises from countless Italian bakeries that permeate this neighbor-
hood’s narrow cobblestone streets, while the veritable buffet of dining choices will have you wishing there were more than three meals to enjoy in a day. Recently, clothing and home decor bou-tiques have been setting up shop here, making the North End an even more diverse and desirable destination. Don’t even try to find a parking 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. Summertime brings people into the streets to celebrate various Italian feasts with music, socializing and, of course, sensational food.

Boston accent
It’s not only vIsItors who love duck tours. In fact, nearly every Bostonian has enjoyed a ride or two themselves. At the heart of this venerable Boston institution, you’ll find a man named Dennis Kraez. Through his position at Super Duck Tours and Upper Deck Trolley Tours, Kraez has helped turn the Hub into a world-class tourist destination that is as accommodating as it is enticing. Kraez is a born and bred Boston boy who worked in the automotive industry before branching out with Mystic Marine Fuels, a business that would become one of the largest fuel operators on the East Coast. When the Big Dig ended, Kraez packed up his fuel business and began work on his next great venture: Boston tourism. He was soon a part of Super Tours, operators of both Super Duck Tours and Upper Deck Trol-ley Tours. “We operate brand-new, foam-lined, unsinkable vehicles ca-pable of going into the harbor, which affords a much better view than just the Charles River,” remarks Kraez.
Super Tour’s motto is “Excite. Entertain. Educate.” and the company manages to supply all three in ample proportions. “We believe that that value is unsurpassed here in Boston both by the quality of our trolleys’ visibility as well as the availability, beauty and uniqueness of Boston Harbor and the many historic sites.” And the company is certainly here to stay, as Super Tours has recently signed a 40-year lease with the Port Authority on 81 acres of land in Charlestown. “When you sign a 40-year lease, you plan on growing your roots here for the foreseeable future,” says Kraez. “We see how Boston has progressed and we continue to invest both resources and dollars into the local economy because we believe it will continue to remain both strong and vibrant.” —Paul Adler
