forget the borrowed. forget the blue. all we really want in '08 is something bright, shiny and new:
sweet escape.
scampo (italian for escape), is the latest addition to the jail-turned-hot spot liberty hotel. another venture from lydia shire of locke-ober and excelsior fame, this eatery's opening has been pushed to this spring, and the resto on the hill will offer fresh pastas and meats. if the food is as good as the scene at bar clink, then you'd better scamper on over. opening
march 2008. 215 charles street. near fruit. 617.224.4000.

return of the mac.
after much water cooler talk, the apple store will finally open in the back bay this year. sure we can't keep up with all the new tech, but that doesn't mean we can't play with all of it in this four-story flagship. boylston street. across
from the prudential center. no phone yet.
