"There's been a lot of just public transit fervor going on. I have always taken the MBTA, so it's definitely a sight I'm familiar with."

"This is a wonderful day for the students to show their spirit and kind of shed the super-academic, super-intense [persona] and just really be fun College students enjoying a little healthy competition."

It was fun. That was my first time going to St. Patrick's Day. I didn't know it was like a big thing. It felt like there was like a million people out there. It was a lot of people out there. It was cold, and it was early, and it felt like the whole city was drunk, but I had a good time just to go out and say hello to the people of Boston and things like that.

Forbes released its annual World's Billionaires List this week, and it's the biggest one yet. The ranking now includes a record 3,428 entrepreneurs, investors, and heirs who together hold an unprecedented $20.1 trillion in wealth, up $4 trillion from last year. The United States leads the pack with 989 billionaires, and nearly 30 of them have ties to Massachusetts.

I designed the sculpture so that, if it was vandalized, it would still be the same message, because the vandalizers would literally be ending ICE. Art has a lot of impacts on people, and it's a very emotional message and cause.

Whether it was Bill Belichick's surly repetition, Ted Williams's ageless ambition, or David Ortiz's unexpectedly poignant f-bomb, New England has enjoyed (or been subjected to) more than its share of memorable quotes in the press. With that in mind, the topic of this year's annual Boston.com March Madness-themed bracket is a simple question: What is the best soundbite in Boston sports history?

We are concerned that this rise is a backlash to the growing visibility and popularity of the television series Heated Rivalry - and the resulting attention, commentary, and social media discourse it has generated around gay hockey players.

Massachusetts is known for being one of the least transparent states in the country when it comes to the accessibility of public records. The governor, judiciary, and state lawmakers enjoy broad exemptions for compliance with public records requests. There are no independent statewide audits of compliance with public records law.

A '90s runway coach who taught supermodels like Naomi Campbell and Kimora Lee Simmons how to walk a catwalk, Alexander shifted careers in 2003 when one of his pupils, Tyra Banks, tapped him to join her on a little UPN show called America's Next Top Model. As a judge and runway coach for a passel of wannabe supermodels, he transformed into "Miss J," bringing drag to the screen at a time when queerness was vanishingly rare on American TV screens.

Participants gathered at Constitution Beach, where dozens of "splashers" ran into the freezing water to raise money for the Better Beaches Grant Program. The program provides small grants to individuals and organizations that host free public events and activities each summer on Department of Conservation and Recreation beaches from Nahant to Nantasket.

Hoi An lanterns hang sparsely throughout the venue. Dancers glide across the stage in silk tunics. Rows of Bánh Tét, Vietnamese rice cakes enjoyed during Lunar New Year, line display tables. And nearby, inflatable horses and a miniature stable invite children to pose for photos - fitting the Year of the Horse theme. The Lunar New Year - known as Tết in Vietnam - is one of the most significant holidays across several Asian countries and among diaspora communities worldwide.

Hot off a Golden Globe win and an Oscar nomination, it's only right that she receives the most prestigious award of all: a pudding pot.

As part of Panini America's annual sweepstakes, Divito will interview NFL players from the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks and take part in opening night festivities alongside former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Trent Dilfer. He'll also attend exclusive Panini events, open trading card packs with current and former players, and soak in game day experience at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 8.

'I started crying,' Azar told me one afternoon last summer, as we sat on the sun-drenched porch of Gifford, overlooking the brick courtyard. Guests popped over to bid him hello, and he gently directed them over the lobby bar for a moment of respite from the heat. He continued the story: 'I was like, 'This is actually why I'm doing this.'

Valentine's Day is about expressing love for special people in your life. One way to do so is to pamper that person as much as possible. That can mean starting the day off with delicious breakfast in bed. Muffins can be prepared in advance and are easy to enjoy in hand for a breakfast that involves lounging and love. Blackberry Crunch Muffins marry coffee cake and muffin elements and tart berries for something that is equal parts breakfast and dessert.

Several high-level Bruins prospects showed out in the first semifinal of the 73rd Annual Beanpot at TD Garden on Monday night, helping No. 11 Boston College (15-8-1) topple Harvard, 5-1, to get back to the championship game for a second straight year. Perhaps no outing was bigger than those of Boston's two most recent first-round selections, as 2025 seventh-over-all pick James Hagens (two goals, assist) and 2024 25th-overall pick Dean Letourneau (goal, assist) combined to anchor an early offensive eruption. Paired with Boston's 2021 seventh-round selection Andre Gasseau's two assists to help him surpass 100 career points, fans saw a glimpse at the possible future in the Bruins' home arena.
