4 Panorama A day at Faneuil Hall Marketplace Hi storic Faneuil Hall has been a center of commerce in Boston since it was gifted to the city in 1742, and it’s as vibrant as ever today. With dozens of shops, restaurants and entertainment options to choose from in the area, the surrounding marketplace is rightly dubbed the hub of the Hub. By Erica Jackson Curran

This spectacle is the work of an artificial intelligence program that never repeats itself while running 65,000 lighting programs. And the lights aren’t the only thing to draw you in. There’s also a wide variety of drinks to keep you dancing throughout the night. Try one of the signature cocktails like the Tijuana Tunnel, a blend of Don Julio Blanco, honey and grapefruit served with a salted rim. This über chic club can only be accessed through a private glass elevator in the W Hotel (100 Stuart St., 617-357-5005, tunnelboston.com). —Micah Askins

What Boston’s buzzing about Green rebuilding Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen won’t be walking 10.28.13 through the doors of the TD Garden anymore—at least not in Boston Celtics (refer to listing, page 15) uniforms. President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge decided the 2013–’14 basketball season was going to be a rebuilding year for the boys in green when he traded the remaining members of the aforementioned Big Three in the offseason. The sole star, Rajon Rondo, is still recovering from knee surgery, and surrounded by many young players and unfamiliar faces, not to mention new coach Brad Stevens. Until Rondo’s return, expect players like Jeff Green (pictured) to lead the team against upcoming opponents like the Milwaukee Bucks, who roll into town on November 1 for the home opener, and the Utah Jazz, who take the parquet floor against the C’s on November 6. For tickets, call 866-4CELTIX or visit nba.com/celtics. —Scott Roberto

6 Panorama Hubbub bottom photo: Keith Allison Framed For the last 23 years, 13 empty frames have hung on the walls of Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (refer to listing, page 17). The frames represent the 13 masterpieces that were stolen in the biggest art theft in U.S. history, when two men disguised as police officers swiped approximately $300 million worth of art from the museum. The FBI identified the thieves earlier this year, but the paintings, prints and other objects—by artists including Degas, Rembrandt and Vermeer—remain at large. Besides inspiring a documentary (2006’s Stolen), the heist, and in particular the empty frames, spurred an exhibition by artist Sophie Calle. Her show Last Seen combines 14 photographic and text-based works that she created in 1991 shortly after the theft and more recent works from 2012. The artist reflects on absence and memory by showing museum staff members and visitors posing in front of the empty frames. Find out more at gardnermuseum.org. —Erica Jackson Curran

D- ance Off Known as one of America’s greatest living choreographers, Paul Taylor doesn’t appear to be slowing down—despite the fact that he’s 83 years old. The dance legend continues to helm his esteemed dance troupe, and Boston audiences can see them in action November 1–3 at The Shubert Theatre (265 Tremont St., 617- 482-9393). The program offers a unique peek at the visionary dance maven’s repertoire, with pieces spanning from 1969 (Private Domain) to 2013 (Perpetual Dawn, a Boston premiere about the awakening of love, pictured). The company also performs 2001’s Black Tuesday, which was inspired by the Great Depression. The event is presented by the Celebrity Series of Boston, and tickets range from $40–75. Find more details at celebrityseries.org. —Erica Jackson Curran

Bold Eats in the Back Bay If you like your buttermilk fried chicken served with a side of honey doughnuts, or your baby back ribs braised with Jack & Coke, there’s only one place to go in Boston: Back Bay Harry’s. The brand-new spot at 142 Berkeley St. is the latest project from the blue-haired “Hell’s Kitchen” runner-up Jason Santos (also known for restaurants Abby Lane, Julep and Blue, Inc.). The lunch, dinner and brunch menus display the chef’s signature flair for crazy combos that work surprisingly well. We’re currently craving the 3:1 Grilled Cheese made with cheese curds, muenster, smoked cheddar, caramelized onions and fig puree. The space, designed by HGTV star Taniya Nayek, has a cool but comfy art deco vibe. You’ll probably want to make reservations (617-424-6711, backbayharrys.com), because Back Bay Harry’s is already generating a lot of buzz. —Erica Jackson Curran middle photo: Paul B. Goode BOSTONGUIDE.COM 7 aee t p k a the past Taking the Mystery out of Boston History Boston’s Most Haunted Places

Central Burying Ground on Boston Common

n a city as old as Boston, there are bound to be a Ifew ghosts hanging around. Here are some of Boston’s most haunted places.

Omni Parker House (60 School St.): Situated right on the Freedom Trail, the Omni Parker House has been a sym- bol of luxury in Boston since 1855. It’s also known as one of the city’s most haunted spots. Hotel founder Harvey Parker is said to roam the halls—although he hasn’t been spotted in about 20 years. Other ghostly encounters that have been reported: Elevators acting of their own ac- cord, shadowy figures, orbs of light on the 10th floor and the sound of creaking rocking chairs. Of course, there are no rocking chairs at the Omni Parker House.

Cutler Majestic Theatre (219 Tremont St.): When the Majestic Theatre opened its doors in 1903, the Boston Globe raved that it was the most beautiful playhouse the city had ever seen. The ornate theater still serves as a popular venue for shows, but it’s also become known for its ghostly residents. Some say they’ve seen the ghost of a former Boston mayor who died during a performance, while others say the theater is home to a little girl who accepts hidden gifts that are left for her.

Boston Common: The country’s oldest public park may look cheerful and innocent during the day, but nighttime reveals the Common’s dark past. The park was the site of public hangings until 1817, and there you’ll also find the old Central Burying Ground. Considered the least desirable burial ground in the city because of its location, the cemetery contains the graves of for- eigners who died in Boston, British soldiers who died during the Revolution and patriots from the Battle of Bunker Hill. Witnesses have reported seeing a woman in black roaming the grounds.

The T: Boston’s subway system is the oldest in the country, and if you’ve ever waited for a train in an empty station, you know just how creepy the city’s underground tunnels can be. Last year, the Biography Channel sent a team of paranormal investigators to explore the city’s underground and they came back with some unsettling discoveries. At one point during their visit, deep within the tunnels, their flashlights and all of their equipment died. Some might say it was a com- munication from the ghosts of six people who were killed by a gas explosion along the corner of Boylston and Tremont streets in 1897. —Erica Jackson Curran
