move into a permanent location in the mall within the year.) Founded in Wimbledon, London in 1990,
the British fashion house offers timeless dresses, structured bags and eye-catching accessories
sophisticated enough to appeal to royalty. Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton has been seen sporting
the brand’s frocks, clutches and shoes (the Sledge Pump is apparently her favorite). See more at

Burger Bros“Wahlburgers” brings Boston’s first family to prime time. By Erica Jackson curran
As fAr As PAul WAhlberg is concerned, his brothers Mark and Donnie can have Hollywood; he’s perfectly happy in Hingham. The chef and owner of South Shore restaurants Wahlburgers and Alma Nove has never felt the urge to follow in his little broth-ers’ footsteps, so it’s a bit ironic that he’s now co-starring in a new reality TV show. “My brothers came up with the idea,” Paul says of “Wahlburgers,” which premiered on A&E in January. “It’s not something I was interested in. I’m a cook, that’s what I do. I don’t think I’ll ever warm up to it, but it’s good for the business and I get to spend more time with [my brothers].” Paul was the fifth of nine children born to Alma and Donald Wahlberg; he was also the first of the clan to graduate high school. Growing up in Dorchester, Mass., the family didn’t have a lot of money, making their success, as Paul says, “a real American story.” Paul grew up cooking alongside his mother, then got his start washing dishes at a friend’s family’s restaurant. He worked his way up the ranks at Boston-area restaurants until he became an executive chef, creating menus for multiple restaurants around Boston and Washington, D.C. Wahlburgers the restaurant is more than just an ode to the famous family—though you will find plenty of Wahlberg movie memorabilia on display. The menu includes tasty options like

Wahlburgers Chef Paul Wahlberg

the Thanksgiving burger topped with stuffing, roasted butternut squash and orange cranberry sauce (Mark’s choice); addictive sweet potato tots; and a “Fluffanuttahh” frappe. Paul says his staff “gets a giggle out of” the filming. Paul’s original teacher Alma still helps out in his restaurants (including Alma Nove, which was named for her), and she’s already a fan favorite on the show. “She’s a ham,” Mark says in the first episode. “She’s going to run all of you into the ground.” Mark and Donnie make regular appear-ances—in the first episode, Mark has a movie premiere at Wahlburgers and Donnie helps Paul scout locations for a new restaurant. “They’ve always been there, and if you need support with something they put in their two cents,” Paul says. Other regulars on “Wahlburgers,” besides the Wahlbergs: Donnie’s girlfriend Jenny McCar-thy, Henry “Nacho” Laun and Johnny “Drama” Alvez, who inspired a character on “Entourage.” “People find it interesting and funny,” Paul says of “Wahlburgers.” “They find out about the restaurant industry, but it’s more about family dynamics. There’s a lot of things that people can relate to in their own family life.”
Wahlburgers is located at 19 Shipyard Drive in Hingham, 14 miles south of Boston. It is accessible from Boston's Long Wharf via the Hingham Ferry. Call 781-749-2100 for details.

Five First DatesForget dinner and a movie—here are five fun date nights you’ll only find in Boston. By Erica Jackson curran
Body Talk. Learn a little bit more about each other—and yourself—at the Museum of Science’s Hall of Human life. The engag-ing exhibit invites you to be “part of the story” through interaction and digital media. Find out how many microbes live in your body, how many calories you burn when you walk and how your sense of balance compares with your date’s. Who knew biology could be so fun?
Garden ParTy. Watching a bunch of sweaty guys racing around Td Garden may not seem romantic to some, but rooting for your favorite Boston team together inevitably inspires a certain level of bonding. Grab some fried food and a frosty brew and cheer for the Bruins or the Celtics—both teams have a handful of home games happening through-out the month.
arT aTTack. Enjoy some visual stimula-tion at the Museum of Fine arts, where you could spend an entire day browsing the various galleries. The newly opened Samba
February may be synonymous with chocolate and champagne, yet there’s more than one way to show someone you care. And it doesn’t even have to be Valentine’s Day.
Spirit: Modern Afro Brazilian Art is sure to heat up even the coldest day. And the Think Pink exhibit couldn’t be more fitting for Valentine’s Day.
Bowled over. Crank up your competitive spirit—and the heat—with a friendly game of bowling at kings. The Back Bay facility features 16 lanes along with three bars and a full-service restaurant. Order from the fanciful martini menu—Fizzy Lifting Drinks and Gummi Bear Martinis are among the op-tions—or just go classic with a White Russian, a.k.a. “The Dude.”
liquid leSSon. Knock back a few drinks while learning a thing or two at the Boston center for adult education’s Wine & Spir-its Classes. Find out more about your favorite tipples from some of Boston’s best-known mix-ologists and sommeliers—then make them at home for your sweetheart. The extensive lineup includes everything from a Fizz Seminar to The Art of the Cocktail to a Scotch Tasting.

beacon hillAn old-world feeling awaits you in this quaint part of the city
Strolling along Beacon Hill’s picturesque gas-lit streets, brick sidewalks and Federal-style row houses, it’s not un-common to feel as though you’ve travelled back in time.
Both eminently posh and utterly accommodating, this area has borne witness to much of the city’s storied past. The State House—with its gleaming gold dome—sits on the peak of the hill where the beacon for which the district was named used to reside. In this neighborhood, visitors can also find the African Meeting House, which holds the Museum of African-American History, as well as the Bull and Finch Pub, the inspiration for the popular TV show, “Cheers.” Charles Street, located at the flat of the hill, is lined with boutiques, restaurants, cafes and charm-ing hotels. Locals descend the hill daily to enjoy all that Charles Street has to offer, adding to the feeling of small-town charm.

Back BayThis famous neighborhood is truly the hub of the Hub
Exquisite architecture and world-class retailers are plen-tiful in Boston’s most well-known neighborhood. The Victorian brick and brownstone residences that line the
streets are not only beautiful, they’re widely regarded as the best-preserved examples of 19th-century urban design in the United States. Newbury and Boylston streets, where luxury shops vie for space amidst outstanding restaurants, welcome visitors and residents alike. Back Bay is also home to the iconic Prudential Tower, Trinity Church, Boston Public Library, the John Hancock Tower and two sprawling shopping malls con-nected by a climate-controlled bridge. You’ll also find standout salons, spas, antique shops and galleries throughout. Nightlife thrives in Back Bay as well, where chic hotel bars, world-class restaurants and swanky lounges abound.

Serving as a leafy link between the Public garden and Frederick Law Olmsted’s Emerald Necklace
park system, Commonwealth Avenue is arguably Boston’s most beautiful thoroughfare. Bordered by historic brownstones, the 32-acre park is lined with rows of massive trees that twinkle with lights in the winter and offer shade in the summer. The park was created soon after the previously underwater Back Bay was filled in, becoming the spine of the city’s elegant new neighborhood. Designer Arthur gilman was inspired by the boule-vards of Paris, and the area quickly became popular for parades, promenades and carriage races. Not long after it was built, Winston Churchill called it “the grandest boulevard in North America.” Initially planted with elm trees, the park suffered a bout of Dutch Elm Disease in the 1960s that wiped out nearly half of the 600 elms on the mall. Some blocks were left with only two or three trees. The Friends of the Public garden stepped in to help, planting hardy sweet gum, green ash, oak and maple trees. The mall is dotted with nine sculptures and memorials between Arlington Street and Charles-gate East. The oldest statue on the mall, sculpted by William Rimmer in 1865, is dedicated to Alexander Hamilton. You’ll find it between Arlington and Berkeley streets. Between Clarendon and Dartmouth streets, the Vendome Firefighters’ Memorial honors the nine firefighters who died in 1972 at the nearby Hotel Vendome. Between Fairfield and gloucester, the Boston Women’s Memorial is the newest sculpture on the mall, with statues of Abigail Adams, Phillis Wheatley and Lucy Stone. These days, the Commonwealth Mall is fre-quented by joggers, families and the occasional supermodel—gisele Bündchen was spotted enjoying a classic photo op during a recent snowstorm. —Erica Jackson Curran

NORTH ENDFabulous cuisine, shopping and history are abundant in Boston’s Little Italy
Old North Church
Italian culture reigns in the North End, Boston’s oldest and busi-est neighborhood. The sweet scent of fresh cannoli rises from countless Italian bakeries that populate this district’s narrow
cobblestone streets, while the veritable buffet of dining choices will have you wishing there were more than three meals to en-joy in a day. Recently, clothing and home decor boutiques have been setting up shop here, making the North End an even more diverse and desirable destination. Don’t even try to find a park-ing space—it’s best to hop on the T or walk. If you happen to be strolling The Freedom Trail, you’ll discover three of the North End’s most important historical sites: The Paul Revere House, Copp’s Hill Burying Ground and the Old North Church. Summer-time brings people into the streets to celebrate various Italian feasts with music, socializing and, of course, sensational food.

Boston accent
Don’t ask tracy Morgan about Boston. The New York native will think you want to talk about sports, and he’s “not going to fall for those tactics.” He really just wants to talk about comedy. The comedian, who rose to fame on “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock,” is at the tail end of his Excuse My French tour, which makes a stop at The Wilbur Theatre on March 1. He’s been quoted as saying that the stand-up show serves as a bit of a reintroduction to who he is—which is not Tracy Jordan, the outrageous character he played on “30 Rock.” “I wrote none of that,” he says simply. “Writers wrote that.” Still, it’s hard to ignore the similarities between Morgan and his character, particularly their penchant for spewing politically incorrect observations. Morgan has drawn fire for his comments on race, gender and homosexu-ality, but he rarely apologizes. “Everybody is trying to be politically correct,” he says. “Everything is watered down now. “I don’t do stand-up to please other people,” he adds. “I do it for me. I’m there to talk about my life, how I see it, not other people’s expectations.” He’s got plenty of material to work with. As a young man growing up in Brooklyn,
Morgan dropped out of high school to take care of his father, a Vietnam vet and recover-ing heroin addict who eventually died of AIDS. By his early 20s, Morgan already had three kids with his high school sweetheart and was living on welfare. He started doing stand-up as a way to make money, and he landed his first big role in the sitcom “Mar-tin.” He joined the cast of “SNL” in 1996, play-ing memorable characters like Brian Fellows and Dominican Lou. A decade later, he joined “30 Rock,” playing a character that Tina Fey wrote specifically for him.
Despite his unusual life, Morgan tries to make his material relatable. “My experiences are basically the same ones everybody else goes through,” he says. “I don’t live on a different planet. I talk about stuff people can relate to. It’s got nothing to do with color or race. “I keep my mind open, because anything can happen,” he adds. “I talk about what I feel, what pisses me off, my experiences, and I inject my sense of humor. … I bring the whole audience to my world.” —Erica Jackson Curran
