Boston

At Concepts; 37 Brattle St, btw Church and Brattle Sq; Harvard Square; 617.868.2001

Available for the first time ever in Boston, splendorous gear from this NYC sneaker/skate staple includes four colorways of DQM New Era caps, a white & black Casio G-Shock, and several styles of tee, including a black or brown "DQM/NYC" number, a grey photo montage of NY streets, and a grey pocketed "No Life Like Low Life" job, which was also Bernie Madoff's yearbook quote.

284 Amory St, at Lamartine; Jamaica Plain; 617.524.6060

Just re-opened in their new JP digs at the Haffenreffer brewery, the band-name-sounding resto/music/gaming venue kept their sandwich- and pasta-heavy Italian menu and American craft beers, but ditched their former bowling steez for skee ball, a large dance floor, and, around the base of the brewery smokestack, a "dramatic outdoor patio", which keeps making a scene in public about how you hooked up with Kristy at the SnowBall.

Tasting begins at 6p, Tues May 12; 245 Newbury St, at Fairfield; Back Bay; 617.450.0021

Head to the B-Lounge next Tuesday to enjoy complimentary single malt scotch while a custom tailor takes your measurements to keep handy on a wallet-sized card, and a "pool specialist" shows you how to do tricks, like pretending you actually came there for something other than free booze.

421 Marlborough St, at Massachusetts; Back Bay; 617.262.5555

After nearly a year of radio silence, Back Bay's beloved Last Drop has been rebirthed by the same owners as the Corner Tavern, adding new red light fixtures above refurbished mahogany tables, mo' flatscreens, a new cocktail list featuring fresh ingredients (orange mint julep, blueberry sidecar w/ brandy, etc), and a food menu for the first time in the 21st century (next stop: website!).

374 Somerville Ave, at Bow; Somerville; 617.623.2429

This weekend only, Union Square's heppest multi-purpose store is having their annual Spring Sale, yanking 20-60% off everything, including tees from Print Brigade & Viva Ortegacy, Nooka watches, Ork art, Taza chocolate, and the promise of a "special treat" for any mom that shows -- a nice gesture, but does she really have the lawn space for a Shetland Pony?
