Manhunt birthday party for Jonathan Crutchley

Jonathan CrutchleyThe dating and online gay community better known as Manhunt is based here in Boston and this past weekend one of the co-founders, Jonathan Crutchley, celebrated his birthday with a party at the Manhunt Mansion.

A friendly crowd spent a sunny, warm Sunday celebrating, while KISS 108 personality and DJ, Gay Jim, played music and the staff of dBar & Boston Chops poured drinks and manned the grill.

Suddenly it makes sense

suddenly it makes senseI know that my Brazilian friends are cuckoo for soccer (or football as they call it).  Suddenly the appeal of this sport makes all sort of sense to me. I may need to go check out a New England Revolution game this year.

How to look good in a speedo

handsome menLater today I’ll be heading to another pool party so I thought I’d share this video that has been making the rounds on the web. The clip gives 5 tips on how to look good in a speedo. I’m not a speedo kind of guy, but I fully expect to see many of these at the pool party later today and I’m okay with that.

Scruffy Sunday

Scruffy SundayI’d never be able to get out of bed in the morning if the first thing I saw was this guys beautiful eyes staring back at me.

Shortest horror story ever

Shortest Horror Story

I think this is a real life horror story we can all relate to.

All male review comes to Crown and Anchor

ProvincetownHeading to Provincetown for the week? Seems like a show worth checking out if you are there.  You know how much I like to champion the arts.

South End restaurant gossip

Not all gossip is good and in the case of Yakitori Zai – the Japanese barbecue restaurant that opened in June – the rumors that I’ve heard are definitely not good.  The remodeling signs that are in the windows of this newly renovated restaurant are due to the brand new ventilation system that the owner installed.Yakitori Zai South End Boston I don’t know all the details but rumor has it the issue is that Yakitori Zai’s new ventilation flumes are visible from the street. I hope there is more to the story, because the South End certainly has far more significant blights; one need only look left from Yakitori Zai to see the abandoned and crumbling Sahara Restaurant – talk about a blight to the neighborhood.South End Boston

Fortunately, I have more exciting, albeit more ambiguous gossip to share about the eagerly awaited Five Horses Tavern. My curiosity got the best of me and I walked over to the restaurant the other day. I was able to meet one of the owners – Sarah Hanson – who walked me through the property.

Five Horses South End BostonI promised Sarah I wouldn’t say anything about the work they did, but for those familiar with the Columbus Cafe space – be prepared to be pleasantly surprised. This team has done a remarkable job and the space is both much better designed and beautiful.  The neighborhood should be very excited to have this property – I know I’ll be checking them out when they open shortly.

Daddy Days in Provincetown

DaddyDays ProvincetownJust as Family Week in Ptown comes to a close, the gay dating site, DaddyHunt.com, presents the first annual Daddy Days in Provincetown.

Despite the name this new theme week seems to have quite a different vibe and will attract a different kind of Daddy.

Daddy Days in Provincetown from August 10th – 17th

Daddy Days organizers will use the Crew’s Quarters on Commercial Street as it’s base, but there are events scheduled through out the week including:

  • Sunday sing along at the Gifford House Piano Bar
  • Wednesday dinner & drinks at the Crew’s Quarters
  • Friday’s so long to Daddy Days after T-Dance at the Pied

More details about the week can be found here.

Furry Friday

gayI’m going to refer to this as a denim themed Furry Friday. You can click on the photos to enlarge them.  I’m breaking all the rules by including two guys this week but I’m thinking none of my readers will mind all that much.

BosGuy brain teaser

Each Friday morning I post a riddle or some type of brain teaser to get you to think outside the box and to exercise your brain.

I have not included an optical teaser in quite a while and thought this was rather interesting. At first glance what do you see?  There is a message that becomes apparent when you take a closer look.  Do you see it?

South End gossip: Shuffling of shops

The summer has been very quiet but many retailers in the South End have been busy.  Here is some South End gossip that has been making its rounds.

Lekker Boston

Lekker Home is moving

Lekker has plastered moving signs on their windows in their Wilkes Passage shop on Washington Street for the past few weeks.  Despite assurances that they would be announcing their new location earlier this week the shopkeepers remain quiet about the new location and too many conflicting rumors make it difficult to ascertain so you’ll have to check back on their Facebook page for details.

Viola Lovely at 1409 Washington is expected to open in the space that was formerly Reside.  This shop will be the third location for the Concord, MA based retailer that sells apparel, accessories and lifestyle designer products.

Future home of Farm & Fable

Future home of Farm & Fable

Farm & Fable is located on the corner of Shawmut Ave and Milford Street.  With any luck F&F will be opening soon.  The retailer will sell vintage cookbooks and has built space to host cooking demonstrations and classes. More details are in my June post here.

7-Eleven at Rollins Square Residents in Rollins Square received notice earlier this month that in November the 7-Eleven that opened 10 years ago will be leaving the South End digs.  While some residents may cheer their leaving, I’m left wondering how far I’ll have to walk to grab bags of ice or mixers when we run out late in the evening.  I hope another convenience store will take its place.
