Boston gay book club discusses “Very Recent History”

Choire SichaDid you know there is a Gay Men’s Book Club that meets each month in the Back Bay at Trident Bookseller’s Cafe?  The next meet up is in two weeks on November 16th and they will be discussing Very Recent History.

The following is a partial description of the book from Amazon.com: Very Recent History by Choire Sicha is an elegant narrative that follows a handful of young men in New York City as they navigate the ruins of money and power—in search of love and connection.

If you’d like to learn more about this group or possibly attend their meet up on Monday, November 16th link here.

(HO)MOvember

Australian Olympian Simon Dunn models his ‘stache for (HO)MOvember

You may start to notice more men with some upper lip hair over the course of the next few weeks as Movember kicks off for its 9th year here in the US.  Australian Olympic bobsledder, Simon Dunn, put a twist on this annual month-long fundraiser that is used to raise awareness and money for men’s health issues, with his (HO)MOvember video which you can watch here.

Through a cruel twist of fate, I have no ability to grow more than a few wisps of facial hair so I thought the way I would participate this year was by helping to remind everyone about the event and if you live in Boston to encourage you to join the Movember Team Boston.

Halloween in Boston’s South End

BostonEven though I am not in Boston this weekend, I have been appreciating the spirit in which my neighborhood prepares for Halloween.  While pumpkins are on virtually every step a lot of neighbors take to decorating their buildings and even the street with a lot of spirit and creativity.

Here are a few pictures from Waltham Street and Union Park in the South End.BostonBoston

BosGuy brain teaser

BosGuy brain teaserEach Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, feel free to get help – share it with a friend or colleague to see if you can figure it out together.

This week’s riddle:  What do you get when you cross a black cat with a lemon?

New Greek restaurant coming to South End

George Greek Restaurant South EndAnother vacant space in the South End will soon be opening as a restaurant. One Union Park in the South End, previously occupied by Yakitori Zai and before that Joe V’s is being renovated and will open as a moderately priced Greek restaurant.

Opening just down the street from the neighborhood’s Greek Orthodox Church and in the heart of the South End – one couldn’t ask for a better location for this tiny restaurant space which has been closed since July 2013 when Yakitori Zai shuttered after being open for 13 months.

The South End has several Greek delicatessens but no restaurants and I’m sure the owners are hoping to fill that void.  At this time I’m not sure what the restaurant will be called or any other details other than a targeted opening for early next year.
