Restaurants

{“data”:[{“type”:”text”,”data”:{“text”:”Night markets are generally dedicated to more leisurely strolling, shopping, and eating rather than the more businesslike day markets. Typically open\\-air, and something of a cultural experience that has taken place for generations in most Asian cities, they are events where people come together to browse, socialize, and unwind, drawing locals relieved to be off from work. They’re entertainment venues pulsating with life; there’s plenty to see and do, and dinner’s always cooking.\n\n”}},{“type”:”html”,”data”:{“text”:” More

{“data”:[{“type”:”text”,”data”:{“text”:”The Boston Ballet’s annual performance of “The Nutcracker” continues to prove it’s the granddaddy of holiday entertainment events in the city, but the countless hours and seemingly endless days of practice on and off the stage that the show’s dancers endure often go overlooked.

Stephen Holding Returns to Lot F Gallery With New Graffuturism Artworks
BDCWire

{“data”:[{“type”:”text”,”data”:{“text”:”The way you observe Stephen Holding’s ultra precise compositions is a little different than how you would another artist’s painted canvas. In fact it’s not so much observing as it is interacting. Holding’s large, mixed\\-media works, made of concise layers of fluid, lucid brushwork, hang suspended in the air, and mix with the environment’s light, offering a shape\\-shifting illusion when looked at from different perspectives, and in turn inviting the viewer to get lost within the abstract imagery.\n”}},{“type”:”html”,”data”:{“text”:” More
