mazing food, beautiful art and gorgeous, soul-stirring music are key ingredients for any memorable holiday season—and this year, Boston has delivered generously in all departments. The city’s collection of restaurants, galleries and live venues continues to astound visitors and locals alike, and in this issue we’ve doubled down on some of the highlights. Local singer-songwriter Terence Ryan vaulted into pole position for the cover after we heard his set at the House of Blues Foundation Room, and we’re delighted to champion his journey from the cultured fringes of rock into the mainstream. His songs are tough, but tender, and his ear for an ecstatic chorus is second to none. When it comes to world-class Boston food, we’ve gone big in this issue with a special Eat. Drink. Boston section—it’s a great way to get the inside track on our city’s stellar dining scene. We also bagged an interview with global masterchef and champion of our local cuisine, Daniel Boulud. Boston is lucky to count Bar Boulud at the Mandarin Oriental hotel on Boylston Street among its many outstanding restaurants. If you fancy browsing some tremendous art as you do your holiday shopping, take the time to check out our selection of the city’s grooviest small galleries. Many of them are hidden in plain sight and this guide will help you discover new cultural treasures. Feel free to take us with you as you explore the city—and we wish you all the best for a very happy new year.
