Local Loves: The Venetian

Earlier this week, I wrote about stopping by the “Snowport” Holiday Pop-Up in Boston’s Seaport District over the weekend, but that wasn’t the only seasonal destination on my to-do and must-visit list while I was in the area.

Everyone who knows me well knows that I love a good party, and when asked to plan one or assist in the planning of one- be it for a birthday, bachelorette party, Halloween, etc.- I take it very seriously. It may be because of my somewhat meticulous nature and peculiar eye for detail, but I […]
