15TH ANNUAL
BOSTON INTERNATIONAL
FINE ART SHOW
The Cyclorama at
Boston Center for the Arts
November 17–20
fineartboston.com
Displaying a wide variety of art from 40 European and
American dealers, the Boston International Fine Art Show
enters its 15th year of bringing the best in contemporary and
vintage art to the Hub. This mainstay, taking place at the
Cyclorama at the South End’s Boston Center for the Arts,
offers works in every medium, from painting and drawing to
prints, sculpture and photography. Novice art lovers need not
feel left out—the show even hosts a New Collectors Night on
November 18, which features a discussion on the financial
aspects of collecting. Newcomers and veteran art aficionados alike can enjoy the grand Gala Preview on November 17,
which benefits the Greater Boston Food Bank and gives
visitors a first look at the wares for sale, along with fine food
and live music. Refer to listing, page 16.

W Hotel • 100 Stuart St.

When you’re in the mood
to do some serious drinking, you’ll now have one
more place to do it. The W
Hotel is abuzz with anticipation over its newest bar,
Descent, due to open in
mid-November. Around the
corner from the main hotel entrance and a short walk down the
steps reveals the speakeasy-style watering hole. A red, black
and silver color palette sets the sultry tone along with exposed
concrete walls and a red glass-encased DJ booth. We’re most
excited about the chalkboard wall at the base of the stairs ready
to satisfy our suppressed graffiti-vandal tendencies. Well, that,
and the drinks that are poised to flow freely. —Samantha House

If you’ve got sports on the brain,
but aren’t sure where to flaunt
your Pats jersey, check out these
bars that go beyond the basics.
Allston’s Sunset Grill and Tap
(pictured above, refer to listing,
page 50) is a haven for beer
geeks, with more than 112 beers
on tap and 380 in bottles. If you’re
hungry, don’t miss its famed
steamed beer burger. In Fenway,
Game On! (refer to listing, page 55)
has over 90 HD TVs and a killer
sound system that makes you feel
as though you’re sitting on the
sidelines.The batting cages for Red
Sox opponents are downstairs so
you might get a sneak a peek at
players warming up. A trip downtown brings you to The Fours
(refer to listing, page 60). Rated by
Sports Illustrated as the number
one sports bar in America, the pub
is known for its extensive sports
memorabilia collection. On the
second floor of the Marriott in Back
Bay, Champions (110 Huntington
Ave., 617-279-6996) brings a
little class to the normally rowdy
scene, without downplaying the
importance of the big game. The
space showcases Boston’s largest
screen (12 x 24 feet), as well as
a lineup of plasmas behind the
crescent-shaped bar and individual
TVs in dining booths so you’ll never
miss a sack. —Bailey Marquis

etween nearly constant phone
calls and negotiations, Jim
Lapides glanced up at a handsome image and mused, “There’s a drama to
Italian posters.”The same could be said of
this master collector’s gallery on Newbury
Street, in which more than a century of art is
snatched up daily by an international clientele. “Posters are the intersection of art,
advertising, business and history; all my
passions are wrapped up in this single concept,” said Lapides who, after earning an Art
History degree from Yale and an MBA from
Harvard, dedicated himself to dealing worldclass works at The International Poster
Gallery. Since “falling in love” at a show of
Italian posters, Lapides has developed an unrivaled collection of Art Noveau, Art Deco,
Propaganda and Print masterpieces. “Any
dealer worth his salt buys what he loves,”
remarked Lapides. A luminous Warhol poster
glowing from a nearby wall attested to the

Betty Salemme, Chef Concierge at The
Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center,
gives her take on the must-sees of Boston.
Where do you most recommend visitors
go? The majority of people are looking for
something historical so I always recommend the Freedom Trail.
What spot is a must-see in Boston? The
JFK Library and Museum (pictured) is not
to be missed.

extent of this love, and to the range and quality of his gallery. Refer to listing, page 20.
What’s the most underrated place in Boston? I
think the Sports Museum
of New England is vastly
underrated. It’s located in
the TD Garden where the
Bruins and Celtics play
and has two floors of exciting sports memorabilia that you can’t find anywhere else.
If you had just one night in Boston,
where would you go? The Seaport Hotel
has a great bar called Tamo. I’d start there
then go to The Top of The Hub. It has a
breathtaking view, fabulous food and jazz
music every single night of the week.

oston’s chic Back Bay is home to
classically beautiful brownstone residences, glamorous retail space and a
plethora of dining options, spa services and
nightlife. Its crown jewel is Copley Square,
home to the John Hancock Tower as well as
historic landmarks like the Boston Public
Library and Trinity Church. But its pulse centers primarily around the bustling commercial
districts of Boylston and Newbury streets.

by Samantha House
arbara Lynch doesn’t like
to be called a celebrity.
“I’m a chef” she says, “not a
personality.” I beg to differ.
With a resume that rivals the
likes of Mario Batali, it’s almost impossible for her to
dodge the spotlight.
In an instant I could tell
Barbara wasn’t another arrogant chef. Perhaps having to
navigate the societal ladder
like an 8 year-old at recess
has kept her humble. Barbara
grew up in the projects of
South Boston, one of seven
children. She left high school
before graduating. “They
wanted me to go to summer
school my senior year. I
thought: there’s no way I’m
doing that. So I never went
back,” said Barbara. She
started working very young
and remembers the desire to
cook surfacing at age 12. It
wasn’t until she was 21 that
she finally got her big break
as head chef of a cruise line.
“For a long time, I felt as
though I needed to catch up
with everyone else,” recalled
Barbara. After, she worked
under top chefs including
Todd English for several
years then branched out on
her own with Beacon Hill
restaurant standout No. 9
Park. Today, Lynch has five
thriving Boston restaurants,
a catering company, an
interactive demonstration
kitchen/cookbook library and
a prohibition-style bar.

Chef Barbara Lynch
When I asked Barbara if
she thought she was living
the American dream, she
commented: “Of course. The
odds were against me, but I
love it when people tell me I
can’t do something. It makes
me want to do it even more.”
I, for one, can’t wait to see
what she does next.
