What Boston’s Buzzing aBout IcIng on the cupcake

Sisters, bakers and “DC Cupcakes” superstars Katherine Kallinis and

Sophie LaMontagne have brought their sweet skills to Boston in the form of

Georgetown Cupcakes (83 Newbury St., 617-927-2250). You may have to wait

in a line as thick as their signature frosting to get to these famous treats,

but each bite proves the wait worthwhile. This cupcakery’s glass storefront offers shoppers a peek at the magic. Inside, a

Warhol-inspired cupcake mural breathes vibrant life into a space where the mouthwatering product serves as the main source of color.

And the best part? The items on Georgetown’s menu are baked fresh and rotate daily. First-time patrons will soon become regulars thanks to flavors like

honey banana, chocolate coconut and pumpkin spice. —Benjamin Lindsay

RunneR’s hIgh Marathoners are sprinting to Beantown’s newest athletic outfitter, New Balance Boston (583 Boylston St., 617-266-1583). Here, fit specialists welcome all walks of life with open arms, registering individual biomechanics to provide a shoe with the ultimate custom fit. Sporting a coal gray interior with futuristic neon accents, New Balance Boston now carries the 1080, a cushion-based shoe that feels amazingly light and offers ample support. Take your favorite for a test drive at the store’s running club meet-ups, which are offered twice weekly. Going vintage? Check out the 990, a summertime specialty supported by dual density collar technology that offers supreme comfort with its mid-sole pillow. This stylish shoe, as well as a multitude of athletic apparel, awaits runners in need of some top-notch kicks. —Kiana Sarabia Strayhorn

A Full Deck Boasting all-American fare, Back Deck (2 West St., 617-670-

0320) is a welcome newcomer to Boston’s summer dining scene. Founded by Beantown restaurateur Bradley Fredericks of Fajitas & ’Ritas, Back Deck is brimming with his trademark knack for mastering classic culinary genres. This time, it’s the

smoky tastes of the New England cookout. The space may evoke memories of patio parties with dad at the grill, but Chef Paul Sussman’s first-rate menu rises above standard block-party fare. Cooked over three unique charcoal grills,

these flame-licked dishes are exquisitely catered to your inner carnivore. For those whose eyes are bigger than their

stomachs, the mixed grill platter features sensible portions of several Deck delights. Two skewers of chicken and lamb, duck sausage, grilled portobello mushroom with tomato and salty cracked new potatoes are sure to satisfy. —Benjamin Lindsay

To InFInITy AnD BeyonDJosiah McElheny: Some Pictures of the Infinite, a new retrospective at the Institute of Contemporary Art (refer to listing, page 24), takes a wider view of time and space than most people can even imagine. That’s because this Boston-born, Brooklyn-based artist uses a heavy dose of science to formulate his sculptures, prints and installations. Primarily trained as a glass blower, McElheny uses reflective surfaces to great effect in such dazzling works as Czech Modernism Mirrored and Reflected Infinitely. But in grander-scaled pieces like Island Universe (pictured above), the artist collaborated with astrophysicist David Weinberg to create five glittering, chandelier-like models of not only our universe, but potential alternate universes as well, all generated by computer. This small glimpse of a vast “multiverse” impresses not just with its striking beauty, but also with its awe-inspiring theoretical implications. —Scott Roberto

A DelIcIous ReADLooking for a summer read while basking on the beaches of Boston and beyond? Charlotte au Chocolat: Memories of a Restaurant Girlhood (Riverhead Books; ISBN: 978-1-59448-815-3; $25.95) is the charming real-life story of Charlotte Silver, daughter of famed restaurateur Deborah Hughes of Upstairs on the Square (refer to listing, page 38). The story takes you on an enchanting journey through the inner workings of the eclectic Harvard Square eatery as seen through a child’s eyes. Over extravagant dinners including Shirley Temples and candied violets for dessert, Charlotte keeps company with a rotating cast of eccentrics. This delightfully decadent tale is funny, touching and ripe for summer reading. —Samantha House

ub Uber Cool

When does the word uber mean convenient and classy? When you’re talking about the newest craze to hit the streets of Boston. Uber (m.uber.com) is a car service that you can access through a free app on your smartphone. No more standing on the street with arms flailing trying to nab the only cab in sight—with Uber, you just touch an app to access the nearest car and send it your way using your phone’s GPS. Finish your cocktail at the bar while watching your sleek ride approach on a handy interactive map. The wait time is typically six minutes or less and you can call your driver with a touch of your screen. And the best part? It’s only a few dollars more than a cab

with tip included. They’re even throwing in a $10 off code (uberpano) for Panorama readers! —Samantha

Art in motionAn international roster of former Artists-in-Residence of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (refer to listing, page 25) is represented in Magic Moments: The Screen and the Eye, a summer-long presentation of nine projections screened in succession at the new Renzo Piano-designed wing of the venerable Fenway institution. With works ranging from documentaries to abstract visual poetry—and tackling such diverse themes as war, the environment and history—the show acts as a virtual reunion for the museum’s 20-year-old Artist-in-Residence program. Upcoming viewings include Mistelpartition (July 11–16), a melding of landscape and music by Sui-Mei Tse, and Henrik Håkansson’s The 12th of Never (Extract from the Void) (July 18–23), which documents the artist’s attempt to communicate with insects. Visitors can even purchase a “Magic Pass” at the front desk so they can keep coming back to see multiple films for the price of a single admission. —Scott Roberto

CoCk-tAilsNo need to guzzle endless martinis to suppress the guilt of leaving Fido indoors while you enjoy the picturesque scenery of Boston’s Waterfront. Instead, guzzle endless martinis with your pooch by your side at Tamo (One Seaport Lane, 617-385-4315). This chic eatery and watering hole attached to The Seaport Hotel hosts a weekly (every summer Wednesday from 5:30–7:30 p.m.) pet lovers’ night on the terrace cutely coined Canines & Cocktails. Guests can enjoy dog-themed cocktails, homemade dog treats and loads of water, as well as plenty of other pooch-loving friends to play with. —Samantha House

Tea and Boston have shared a long and sordid history. Now that things have worked themselves

out, we can all sit down for a nice warm cup of the delicious brew. Below is Panorama’s list of the best places to treat yourself while you’re in town.

The newly opened Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum (Congress Street Bridge, 855-TEA-1773) houses the oh-so-elegant Abigail’s Tea Room, which supplies visitors with a selection of teas, pastries and nibbles along with a beautiful waterside view.

Harvard Square’s Upstairs on the Square (refer to listing, page 38) offers a mid-afternoon indulgence with an array of sandwiches, savories and dainty treats in a vibrant, eclectic setting.

The Bristol Lounge (200 Boylston St., 617-351-2037) at The Four Seasons Hotel serves a Royal Tea which includes more than 15 teas, house-made pastries, lemon curd, Devonshire cream and a glass of Kir Royal.

On Saturdays and Sundays, L’Espalier (774 Boylston St., 617-262-3023) makes tea time fun with its Fantasy Tea Party, including the Three Blind Mice option, which comes with a cheese tasting, and The

The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum

10 Panorama

The daTe is december 16, 1773. Suffolk County citizens sit shoulder to shoul-der in the pews of a local church, but this makeshift congregation is not here to pray. They’ve met to reignite faith in themselves, in their neighbors and in their country. No longer will they stand for the taxing abuses of King George III. There, plans are drawn to invade Griffin’s Wharf, where 340 crates and 92,000 pounds of the mother country’s tea will soon be fed to the Atlantic. Though universally recognized as one of the most significant events leading up to the American Revolution, the Boston Tea Party has lacked a hometown tribute since August 2001, when the original museum burst into flames after being struck by lightning. After raising funds to rebuild, the new Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum that stands today is immersive, tech-savvy and utterly astounding. The tour of the new structure, led by colo-nial costume-clad guides, begins in a replica of the meetinghouse church, where historical context is shared and excitement is kindled. Anchored outside are re-creations of the 18th century vessels Beaver and Eleanor. All are in-vited to venture onto the poop deck and dump tea overboard. With the satisfying splash of

each crate, a chorus of jubilant “huzzahs” fill the air. But, of course, every action has a con-sequence, as tour-goers learn inside. Entering the museum’s double doors, visitors are greeted by an incredibly intricate set, complete with floating rowboats, dried seaweed and aging dock posts. It is here that computer wizardry takes over as a hushed quarrel between two colonial women—one loyalist, one patriot, both hologram—plays out on stage. Like these virtual colonists, the rest of the museum dazzles by utilizing modern-day capabilities, making for an incredibly entertaining and surprising experience. Ultimately, the new Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum fully exhibits our responsi-bility as 21st century Americans to remember our roots, enlivening 18th century strife by masterfully manipulating our present-day virtues. —Benjamin Lindsay

The SmooT

American National Standards Institute and President of the International Organization for Standardization.

Today, pedestrians walking across the bridge can view the painted marking indicating its length in Smoots. Each semester, incoming members of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity repaint these markings so that people will be able to follow the Smoots for years to come.

These markings are so well-loved that during bridge renovations in the 1980s, the Cambridge Police Department requested that the paintings be main-tained, as they were commonly used to identify the location of accidents along the bridge. The renovators decided to honor the Smoot by scoring the concrete surface of the sidewalk on the bridge at five-foot, seven-inch intervals, instead of the usual six feet.

The greatest irony of the Smoot, however, is that it seems to be inaccurate! The resulting measurement of 364.4 Smoots yields a bridge length of roughly 620 meters, while numerous sources insist that the bridge is approximately 660 meters. Then again, you can’t blame the fraternity boys for a little error—after all, carrying a person for thousands of feet is no easy task. —Paul Adler

A PEEk AT ThE PASTTaking the Mystery out of Boston History

In the fall of 1958, the world’s weirdest unit of mea-surement was born when a gang of MIT frat boys

used Oliver R. Smoot to measure the length of the harvard Bridge. This unique prank gave birth to the unit called a Smoot.

One Smoot is equal to roughly five feet and seven inches, which was Oliver’s height at the time of the prank. In October of 1958, his frat brothers made Oliver lie down on the harvard Bridge, which connects Boston to Cambridge along Massachusetts Avenue, and then marked his length with paint.

The fraternity brothers asked the young MIT student to get up and lie down again so many times that they eventually had to carry Oliver to each new position. The brothers found that the bridge’s length was exactly 364.4 Smoots (plus or minus “one ear”), which measures out to roughly 620 meters.

Oliver Smoot, who is the cousin of Nobel Prize-winner George Smoot, graduated from MIT in 1962 and eventually became a lawyer and later Chairman of the

Boston’s wackiest way to measure up.

Lucky’s LoungeWith no sign in sight, this local Boston hangout is somewhat difficult to find. Head to the Fort Point Channel for mac and cheese, award-winning burgers and tomato soup. On Sundays, a Frank Sinatra sound alike croons to rabid fans. 355 Congress St., 617-357-5825

Jacob WirthThis pub has more to offer than authenic German cuisine. On Friday nights, you’ll find local legend Mel playing the piano while guests sing along from songbooks. You’ll make fast friends belting out classic Bos-ton tunes such as “The MTA Song.” 31 Stuart St., 617-338-8586

PANORAMA’s GUIDE TO

Charlie’s KitchenThis out-of-the-way eatery offers classic Americana in a diner-like setting with the added bonus of a beer garden in the back. The food is exactly what you would expect—a delicious assortment of burgers, fries, onion rings and more. The prices are more than reasonable with a cocktail list that keeps it simple by charging one price for all drinks—just 6 dollars gets you a top-shelf mar-tini or a no-name gin and tonic. 10 Eliot St., Cambridge, 617-492-9646

Boston Burger Co.Located in Davis Square, this burger shrine serves culinary gems such as The Kitchen Sink (with fried eggs and bacon) and The King (peanut-butter, bacon and fried bananas), all for less than ten bucks a pop. 37 Davis Square, Somerville, 617-440-7361

PigalleThis off-the-beaten-path restaurant offers French delicacies painstaking-ly prepared by James Beard Award-winning chef Marc Orfally.

Roast BeastProudly run by BU students, this nod to Dr. Seuss has become a cult favorite with Bostonians, who travel far and wide to get a taste of signature sandwiches loaded with extras and surprising sauces such as the famous thermonuclear sauce. 1080 Commonwealth Ave., Allston, 617-877-8690

beacon hillAn old world feeling awaits you in this quaint part of the city

Walking along Beacon Hill’s picturesque gas-lit streets, brick sidewalks and Federal-style row houses, it’s not uncommon to feel as though you’ve travelled

back in time. Both eminently posh and utterly accommodat-ing, this area has born witness to much of the city’s storied past. The State House—with its gleaming gold dome—sits on the peak of the hill where the beacon for which the district was named used to reside. In this neighborhood, visitors can also find the African Meeting House, which holds the Muse-um of African-American History, as well as the Bull and Finch Pub, the inspiration for the popular TV show, “Cheers.” Charles Street, located at the flat of the hill, is lined with boutiques, restaurants, cafes and charming hotels. Locals descend the hill daily to enjoy all that Charles Street has to offer, adding to the feeling of small-town charm.

Back BayThis famous neighborhood is truly the hub of the Hub

Exquisite architecture and world-class retailers are plen-tiful in Boston’s most well-known neighborhood. The Victorian brick and brownstone residences that line the

streets are not only beautiful, they’re widely regarded as the best-preserved examples of 19th-century urban design in the United States. Newbury and Boylston streets, where luxury shops vie for space amidst outstanding restaurants, welcome visitors and residents alike. Back Bay is also home to the iconic Prudential Tower, Trinity Church, Boston Public Library, the John Hancock Tower and two sprawling shopping malls con-nected by a climate-controlled bridge. You’ll also find standout salons, spas, antique shops and galleries throughout. Nightlife thrives in Back Bay as well, where locals and visitors alike flock to chic hotel bars, restaurants and lounges to see and be seen.

Italian culture reigns in the North End, Boston’s oldest and busiest neighborhood. The sweet scent of fresh cannoli rises from countless Italian bakeries that permeate this neighbor-

hood’s narrow cobblestone streets, while the veritable buffet of dining choices will have you wishing there were more than three meals to enjoy in a day. Recently, clothing and home decor bou-tiques have been setting up shop here, making the North End an even more diverse and desirable destination. Don’t even try to find a parking space—it’s best to hop on the T or walk. If you happen to be strolling The Freedom Trail, you’ll discover three of the North End’s most important historical sites: The Paul Revere House, Copp’s Hill Burying Ground and the Old North Church. Summertime brings people into the streets to celebrate various Italian feasts with music, socializing and, of course, sensational food.

There is a kindness and elegance about Janet Wu that is apparent both on-camera and off. Correspondent for local NBC affiliate WHDH-TV’s 7News, Wu has main-tained a deep dedication to public service while enjoying a meteoric career in broadcasting. Wu’s talent was apparent at an early age. “When I was 6 years old I went to a day camp in Miami, which is where I was raised,” recalls Wu, “and a producer spotted me. Soon, I was on a children’s show called ‘Kids’ World.’” Despite this brief introduction to the enter-tainment industry, Wu decided to focus on her studies, and eventually matriculated to Yale. After writing for a number of magazines while still in college, Wu discovered her second love: journalism. The year after she graduated, Wu found herself at Columbia University, where she received her Masters degree. Following a fellowship that allowed her to explore the far reaches of the globe, Wu had the good fortune to visit a television station in Monterey, California while visiting her sister. “I walked in,” says Wu, “and they hired me

that day.” This was the beginning of a break-neck anchoring and reportage career, which led her from California to Hawaii, Seattle and Boston in just a few short years. “Originally I expected to work in television temporarily, but it just lasted,” remarks Wu. This personable reporter still does a great deal of work for WHDH-TV in Boston, while maintaining a deep devotion to charity and stewardship for the arts. Wu sits on the Board of Visitors for the New England Conservatory of Music and The Franciscan Hospital for Chil-dren. Above all, Wu remains content in her current position and confident about her life choices. “I can honestly say I never feel bored in my job. I’m an especially lucky person in that I am doing something I find so stimulat-ing and so interesting.” —Paul Adler

Janet WuThe face of news in Boston, this hard-hitting local legend is also big on heart.
