All over the world, St. Patrick’s Day has become an excellent excuse for many to stumble around town, testing their body’s limit for alcohol consumption. However, as many New York residents can probably tell you, a lack of planning for a weekend of heavy imbibing on a mass scale could lead to all sorts of [...]
Today is Valentine’s Day, and your thoughts may well be turning to love, whether you’re in the warm flush of new love, the comfort of a long-term relationship, or free, single and out on the prowl. More than anything else, love has provided the fuel for some great songs, either in celebration or in mourning. [...]
Valentine’s Day is quickly coming up, and if you haven’t made plans already, it’s about time to start!

We’ve got some love-centric free/ticketed events listed below, all of which feature food [...]
BOOTIE NYE 2012 SATURDAY DECEMBER 31 MEZZANINE NYE 2011: 9pm – 3am San Francisco, CA The Mezzanine is a club/venue that’s not too big, and not too small. It’s just the right size to be as accommodating as it is intimate–which is especially key for a night out on the town such as New Year’s [...]

The outcome of this collaboration was [...]

Smuin Ballet‘s Christmas program truly has a little something for everyone. The performance is divided into two acts: “The Classical Christmas” and “The Cool Christmas,” both of which incorporate holiday themes from around the world. As the names of the acts imply, the show alternates from traditional ballet to cool contemporary dance, keeping the audience [...]
There’s no question that everyone celebrates the holiday season differently. Some gather with family as often as possible; others have White Elephant parties with eggnog and mulled wine; some watch Christmas movies from Thanksgiving to New Years. Personally, I started listening to Christmas songs a month ago. But if you’re looking for something less traditional, [...]
All of New England is giddy for the arrival of the holiday season, especially this year since the nor’easter that hit the day before Halloween coated much of the region in an early snow.
