Welcome to Eastern Standard ... the Best Bar in the World
Conde Nast Traveler recently came out with a list of its 30 best bars in the world, and wouldn't you know it – Fenway's own Eastern Standard made the list. “The bar team at Eastern Standard Kitchen & Drink views the drink process as a conversation. For example, they listen to what is happening around them and craft their beverage selection with a point of view in mind," said Grill 23 owner Chris Himmel. Bonus: Great spot to pregame a Sox game if you're a millionaire. >>> Read more at Conde Nast Traveler – Alex Weaver

Advantage 'No Boston Olympics' in the Primetime Debate
After an enormous amount of buildup to the debate on Boston 2024, co-hosted by Fox 25 and the Boston Globe, the final result was essentially what prognosticators would have expected.

(Note: That analysis represents the opinions of experts and journalists only, as there was no definitive metric for measuring the debate). Much of the discussion devolved into either an exploration of very specific numbers or facts, but the closing arguments showcased a better-rehearsed performance from Dempsey. That said, Boston 2024 probably isn't going away anytime soon, so why not have another debate? BostInno is definitely willing to host, if anyone's asking... - Hayden Bird
Converse Just Unveiled the First Redesigned Chuck Taylor in Nearly 100 Years [Photos]
One might easily mistake those for the Chucks of old. And that would be a big compliment to the many, many people who've worked on this project and went to great lengths to ensure the overall aesthetic–the shoe people get married in, go to prom in, work in, and buy for their newborns–stays true to its roots. Like Ryan Case, the global footwear product director, who has been working on nothing but Chuck II for more than 12 months. >>> Read more on BostInno – Alex Weaver
