Earlier today Boston’s much celebrated chef, Ken Oringer, and his team announced that his signature restaurant, Clio, which first opened 19 years ago in the Eliot Hotel in the Back Bay will close on New Year’s Eve. Make your reservations today before the restaurant closes permanently in approximately seven weeks.
“Clio has seen so much success and I feel beyond blessed to have been able to grow and evolve alongside my flagship,” said Oringer.
According to the release issued, the restaurant will “reemerge as a new Japanese concept where Oringer and Chef Tony Messina from Uni will continue to showcase the best of today’s innovative dining culture,” in 2016 – although no date has been provided as yet.
Earlier this week I shared a post about Movember (or to be more precise (HO)MOvember, which is an annual month-long fundraiser dedicated to raising awareness and money for men’s health issues. I saw this video posted on Accidental Bear and thought it would also be good to share.
Testicular cancer is most common in men between the ages of 15-30 years. This video of seven men performing a routine self-exam shows how easy it can be. When detected early, testicular cancer is extremely curable. I hope that this funny – and very safe for work – video will remind people to perform a self-exam.
Last March I wrote about a small Herb Ritts exhibit opening at the MFA. The exhibit which spans two rooms includes some of the photos included in the MFA’s 1996 retrospective “Herb Ritts: WORK”, which remains one of the museum’s most popular exhibitions to date. If you’ve not had a chance to stop by and see the exhibit at the MFA Boston, I’d suggest you hurry since it closes on Sunday, November 8, 2015.
EaterBoston last week mentioned that a new Italian restaurant will open in the Ink Block’s Sepia Building in the spring of 2016 at 360 Harrison Avenue, adding another Italian dining option to the neighborhood.
According to the article, Bar Mezzana will seat approximately 130 and have a 40-seat outdoor patio. The team behind the forthcoming restaurant includes the married couple Colin Lynch and Heather Kennaway Lynch and Jefferson Macklin, who according to EaterBoston, “have put in lots of time within Barbara Lynch’s empire“; great pedigree for a Boston restaurant team.
Follow news about Bar Mezzana on their Facebook page, here.
This is great news for residents of the Ink Block and the neighborhood. With additional residents moving into SoWa and more development expected, it is important to have businesses that remain open later at night to avoid creating blocks that go dark after business hours like we currently see in some of the larger residential buildings in SoWa (e.g. Rollins Square and Wilkes Passage).
This summer I posted a similar video 100 years of men’s swimsuits in 3 minutes, which I thought was pretty cool. If you liked that video then I bet you’ll find this also pretty cool to watch.
Each Wednesday morning I post a photograph that gives me pause. I’ll get you started with a possible caption that hopefully inspires you to share a few of your own in the comments section below.
Stay still and maybe nobody will notice
For those who cannot get enough of Provincetown, Men’s Weekend which starts this Friday is a good enough excuse to justify a drive down for a visit. The weekend starts with a 70’s themed disco party at Purgatory and includes an underwear party and leather party also hosted at Purgatory on Saturday and Sunday.
