\"Christine<\/a><\/p>\n

We caught up recently with Christine to find out what she loves most about Boston.<\/p>\n

Where were you born?<\/strong>\u00a0 Somerville, NJ<\/p>\n

How long in Boston?<\/strong> Since I was three<\/p>\n

Where do you live now?<\/strong> Lexington, MA<\/p>\n

Occupation?\u00a0<\/strong> Salon\/Spa Owner<\/p>\n

Favorite Restaurant:<\/strong> Deuxave<\/p>\n

Best Sushi:<\/strong> Billy Tse<\/p>\n

Best Italian:<\/strong>\u00a0 Bella Vista<\/p>\n

Best Dessert:<\/strong>\u00a0 Finale (Boston cream cake)<\/p>\n

Best Place for a Romantic Date:<\/strong> Mandarin Orient lounge.\u00a0 The drink menu alone will have you figure out what the guy\u2019s relationship comfort level is!<\/p>\n

Best Sunday Brunch:<\/strong> Abe and Louie\u2019s<\/p>\n

Best Place for a Power Business Meeting:<\/strong> Toscano\u2019s<\/p>\n

If you have out of town guests, which hotel would you recommend?\u00a0 <\/strong>Probably the W, so you are close to action.<\/p>\n

Favorite Shopping Venue\/Boutique:<\/strong>\u00a0 Saks shoe department hands down.\u00a0 Simone is a goddess.<\/p>\n

Best Place to Buy Jewelry\/Watches:<\/strong> Long\u2019s.\u00a0 Easy and everywhere with a varied selection and the best hospitality.<\/p>\n

Best Spa:<\/strong> Pyara, of course.<\/p>\n

Favorite Charity Event:<\/strong>\u00a0 Green Carpet: Aveda\u2019s annual Trashion Show to raise money for earth month, partnering with Clean Ocean Action.<\/p>\n

Favorite Cultural Event:<\/strong> Crazy earth month event run by all the local Aveda salons during April<\/p>\n

Favorite Cultural Institution:\u00a0 <\/strong>Honestly the streets of Boston; if you don't absorb history and culture just walking around you are missing so much!<\/p>\n

Best Steakhouse:<\/strong> MOOO<\/p>\n

Best Pizza:<\/strong> Regina\u2019s (what can I say I'm a local purist)<\/p>\n

Best Gym\/Athletic Facility:<\/strong> Btone Pilates<\/p>\n

Best Massage:<\/strong> Stress Fix Aveda massage.\u00a0 So relaxing!<\/p>\n

Best Driving Service:<\/strong> UBER<\/p>\n

Best Museum\/Exhibit: <\/strong>Museum of Science.\u00a0 So much tradition to share with my kids.<\/p>\n

Favorite historic\/legendary place to see or explore:\u00a0 <\/strong>Freedom Trail.\u00a0 Obsessed with how cool our city is and love being reminded we come from a long line of bad-asses.<\/p>\n

Describe Boston in three words: <\/strong>history, strength, community<\/p>\n

All-around favorite locale in Boston, whether a neighborhood, restaurant, venue, or other:<\/strong> Copley Square.\u00a0 The old world charm and beauty put me in awe and make me take a moment to reflect each time I am there.<\/p>\n

Best aspect of Boston:<\/strong> Boston is a big city with a small town attitude.\u00a0 The people here are tough to get to know but once you do they are loyal to a fault which adds to our strong sense of community and bonds. I love when you meet someone, and then they know someone you know, and so on and so forth, into the six degrees of separation, and suddenly you\u2019re best friends!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
