Chris Evans makes his directorial debut with this Manhattan romance, which struggles to stay afloat on the considerable charm of its stars — Evans and Alice Eve — but is sunk by too much schmaltz (even for the Lower East Side).

Returning her dropped cellphone, he offers to help her get home. A series of misadventures follows, with the duo swapping life stories in bits and pieces. She’s got a husband who doesn’t know Continue reading >>>

A thoughtful historical journey across time and space into the Bostonian imagination, as the city's 400th birthday approaches, would begin for me with impressionistic visits to four places where architecture and landscape perfectly intersect: 17th century Boston Common fronting on Beacon Hill Downtown; 18th century Harvard Yard in Cambridge (the Old Yard around Massachusetts Hall, not the adjoining New Yard); the19th century Boston Public Garden in the Back Bay; and the 20th century Christian Science Plaza, also in the Back Bay.

Summer’s coming to a close, which means cars full of college students will pour into the city and unload hordes of freshman, colorful T-maps clutched in their hands. They’ll mispronounce “Faneuil Hall” and joke about where to “pahk the cah on Hahvahd Yahd,” believing that phrase makes them a true Bostonian. But no Boston native really says that, so where did it come from? On the day that students are literally—albeit very, very briefly—parking on Harvard Yard to move into their dorm rooms, The Boston Globe dove down the dropped-“r” rabbit hole. According to the Globe, Continue reading >>>
