2013 Boston Pride
Boston Pride wrapped up this past weekend and I’m exhausted. After an ominous start to the second weekend of Pride, the sun came out and Saturday and Sunday turned out to be spectacular. For those who were nice enough to pose for a photograph, thank you. Here is my video of Pride Week here in Boston including events hosted by The Boston Pride Committee, AIDS Action Committee, The Theater Offensive, and The Welcoming Committee.
NYC hunk
Do you remember this handsome hunk?
While trolling the internet and cheering on the Red Sox (I too can multi-task) I stumbled upon this photo of this bare chested piece of eye candy.
I immediately recognized him as the object of my affection from a post last month where he was wearing a grey wife beater in this post.
Handsome and a killer body? Please tell me he’s never tasted ice cream.
Pride Block Party in Back Bay
Just in case you have not danced enough, The Boston Pride Committee will host another block party – this time in the Back Bay. Of all the events that Boston Pride has hosted over the years, this event more than any others has grown and become an unofficial closing event in my mind for the week long celebration.
Each year this block party seems to get bigger and better.The party is on St. James Street, runs from 12pm – 8pm and has a $10 suggested donation with proceeds going to benefit Boston Pride Week.
Any questions about his event, email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
Restaurant review: Boston Chops
Last weekend Boston Chops opened for brunch. The menu includes a half dozen traditional breakfast items, a section of grilled steaks and sandwiches as well as raw bar and a selection of salads.
The menu also has a number of cocktails including a bloody Mary selection that allows patrons to choose how spicy they like their drinks (served rare, medium or well done). I started with a Charred Shishito Bloody Mary served with a wedge of lemon, pepper jack cheese and a charred Shishito pepper ($10). My request to have it made “Medium” provided just enough kick for me.
While I was tempted to try Boston Chops burger it was too early and so I opted for one of the healthier items on the menu, the kale omelet with mushroom and cheddar and a side of potatoes. While the omelet didn’t appear to have any mushrooms, it was both filling and delicious and really helped balance the spicy cocktail I continued to sip through out breakfast.
Boston Chops Kale Omelette $13
My dining partner in crime, Sergio, opted to try Boston Chops French Toast which came served with a mixed berry compote that the menu refers to as a ‘seasonal marmalade’ and a generous serving of Rhum Anglaise that is unbelievably rich and sinfully delicious. The marmalade was so good I put a spoonful on my side of toast and had to refrain from taking extra spoonfuls when Sergio was not looking.
Boston Chops French Toast $12
If ordering a full plate of French Toast seems too decadent (it really isn’t though) but you want something sweet, check out the sides like Chops house made donuts in chocolate sauce or Pecan sticky buns $7 each.
Boston Chops is open for brunch Saturday and Sunday from 10am – 3pm. While reservations may not be necessary these first few weekends it is still a safe bet. I thoroughly enjoyed my food and will be returning again and again.
Boston Chops is located at 1375 Washington Street in Boston’s South End.
Karmin at Boston Pride today
Back in early April I wrote that Karmin would be headlining Boston Pride’s Festival on Saturday, June 8th. The duo, who recently moved from Boston where they met at Berkeley School of Music to pursue what has turned out to be a successful career as pop musicians, will most likely play their 2012 hit Hello.
You can see up close how handsome Nick Noonan (one half of Karmin) is if you head down to Government Center later today, following the conclusion of the Boston Pride parade.
Chandler Street Block Party tomorrow
Following Boston’s Pride parade tomorrow, the annual Chandler Street Block Party will open. This is not an official Boston Pride event and competes with the Pride Festival in Government Center that includes Berkeley Music duo Karmin.
Hopefully the annual Street Dance & Block Party will have resolved the issues they had last year with excessive lines and not enough cold beverages. Proceeds from this event go to benefit The AIDS Action Committee. The outdoor dance party runs from 1:30pm – 7pm and has a $15 cover.

Debbie Gibson wishes Boston Happy Pride
Debbie Gibson created a quick video to voice her support and wish everyone in Boston a happy Pride. Ms. Gibson may be somewhat of a mystery to some of my readers, but I’ll always have a soft spot in my hear for this woman who played the good girl to her pop music rival, bad girl, Tiffany (who I also secretly loved in high school).
Kathy Griffin wishes Boston Happy Pride
Funny looking lady Kathy Griffin and a favorite of the gay community wishes everyone in Boston a happy Pride. I love Kathy Griffin and hope she comes back to Boston soon, but til then check out her quick video courtesy of Boston Pride.
Flashback Friday
Boston Area Gay and Lesbian Youth (BAGLY) officially forms in 1980 making it the first youth run organization in Boston. BAGLY continues today as the second oldest continuously running youth organization in the country. Talk about Boston Strong. I can’t imagine the courage these teenagers must have had to be out and proud in the early 1980s.
Furry Friday
I thought I’d get all artsy on you and feature a black and white picture this week. So do you like my idea of art 0r as we say it here in Boston, “ahhhht“.

Hal Sparks wishes Boston Happy Pride
Hal Sparks, comedian and actor, is perhaps best known in the gay community as Michael Novotny. The idealistic gay man and best friend to Brian Kinney in Showtimes’ series Queer As Folk (2000 – 2005). This straight ally and all around funny-man has also sent wishes for a Happy Pride to everyone in Boston in this homemade video.
