On Mayer Hawthorne's sophomore effort, "How Do You Do," the falsetto−crooning soul singer coyly opens the album by wooing an unnamed woman. The artist sets a seductive tone as he sweet−talks, "So here we are, it's the end of the night … [but] it doesn't have to end here."
Taking a great standup routine and making it work as a television sitcom requires some development and finesse. It's a difficult process that can go wrong in many ways. NBC's new unfunny comedy, "Whitney," fails to make that transition work.
Everyone lives for the weekend. A stressful week of classes, assignments and extracurricular activities often results in the well−knownpressure−cooker effect on most college students, who use the weekend to blow off steam and indulge.
If you're still humming and tapping your toes to the beat after tonight's Homecoming A Capella Show, keep the music going with The Beelzebubs' (Bubs) latest album, released yesterday. "BATTLE" is the latest of the Bubs' biannual releases, and the CD covers an exciting time in the group's history.
"There are some things you don't touch," Ruth Steiner (Bobbie Steinbach) tells her protegee, Lisa Morrison (Liz Hayes), after recounting to her one of the most formative and secretive tales of her life. Lisa waits, but then does exactly that with Ruth's own story.

Much like the rest of the Kardashians' self-indulgent lives, Kim's wedding to Kris Humphries — how serendipitous that they both spell their names with a "K" — was televised over the long weekend. If you were one of the 4.4 million viewers who tuned in for the two-part segment on Sunday and Monday night, we've compiled a list of 10 better ways you could have wasted four hours of your life.
"Dance/Draw," the Institute of Contemporary Art's celebratory centerpiece in honor of its 75th anniversary, is an overt celebration of humanity's obsession and fascination with movement.

It seems that we olde English and the New Englanders have something special in common. It's red, juicy and rhymes with Snapple. That's right — this week we focus on all things apple.

In the same way college students are required to love Wes Anderson movies and Vampire Weekend, we are practically obliged to enjoy a novel and creative restaurant like The Friendly Toast. It's delightfully offbeat, and the decor and menu reference lovable classics like Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window" (1954) and old Hardy Boys novels. If a '50s diner theme and rockabilly waitresses don't set your heart aflutter, its Cambridge location and proximity to indie-crazed theater Kendall Square Cinema will at least make you admire the restaurant for its convenience.

From Jay McInerney's New York, let's venture into a real depiction of the Big Apple with our first non-fiction book, a memoir by an artist about artists. Here's my breakdown:
If you're wondering where to look for quality musical theater, the answer is the Huntington Theatre Company. Mary Zimmerman, known for adapting classical theater, directs Leonard Bernstein and Richard Wilbur's musical "Candide" based on Voltaire's novella, "Candide, oul'Optimisme."

It's the first day of October, and clouds seem to have descended upon the Boston Harbor, lining the boardwalk in slick, white puffs. However, pedestrians who venture closer to the foggy vista realize that those shiny clouds are actually the tents of the second annual Boston Local Food Festival.
