On February 9, Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood—the third largest in the country—celebrates the start of a new lunar year with a Lion Dance Parade. The streets will be filled with firecrackers, food, music and lion dancers, which are thought to drive away evil spirits. Later in the month on February 23, Hong Kong Restaurant (1238 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, 617-864-5311) sponsors a parade that snakes its way through Harvard Square. Look for the red lanterns outside of the restaurant to find the start of the parade route. —Erica Jackson Curran

What Boston’s Boston Strong buzzing about With the 118th Boston Marathon just a few months away, runners are kicking into high gear with their 2.3.14 training—and now they’ve got something new to wear while running. The Marathon’s official merchandiser Adidas recently unveiled the 2014 line of gear that includes the iconic Celebration Jacket, shorts, tanks, tees and shoes. The jacket and several other pieces come in a high-visibility blaze orange, while the rest of the collection boasts a range of blue hues. The jackets will be supplied to nearly 10,000 volunteers along with race officials and media, and anyone can purchase from the collection at adidas.com, select retailers or at the John Hancock Sports & Fitness Expo in April. A percentage of the proceeds will be donated to The One Fund Boston. —EJC

6 Panorama Hubbub Book It If you’re reading this, you’re probably already sitting in a hotel. But you still need to know: Hotel Week Boston begins February 16. The week-long event attempts to bust the winter blues by offering special promotions at Boston-area hotels. With packages crafted exclusively for the event, discounts start at 30 percent off and go up from there. HWB guests will also have access to deals at attractions throughout the city, such as two- for-one admission at the Franklin Park and Stone zoos and the Institute of Contemporary Art. Visit hotelweekboston.com for a list of participating hotels. —EJC

Church Chocolate Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the Old North Church launches its Spring Speaker Series with an extra sweet event. Timothy Walker, a history professor at the University of Massachusetts–Dartmouth, presents “A History of Chocolate: Where It Comes From and How It Was Used in Early New England” on February 13 at 7 p.m. Attendees can enjoy the talk from the historic church’s unique box pews, then afterward they’ll be invited to a live demonstration of 18th century techniques in chocolate- making led by historical interpreters complete with samples of American Heritage Chocolate. The free series continues throughout the spring with lectures on Boston’s Clough House and Benjamin Franklin’s sister. Find the full schedule at oldnorth.com. —EJC

State of Amusement The team behind beloved Kendall Square restaurant Hungry Mother brings another dose of Southern-fried flavor to Cambridge with its newest venture,State Park. Called Hungry Mother’s “(obnoxious little) sister bar,” State Park feels like a dive bar on steroids. You’ll find pinball machines, pool tables, a juke box and taxidermied animals mounted on the walls. The menu has a Tennessee drawl, with choices such as beer nuts, Hoppin’ John with potlikker, grilled pimiento cheese and tobacco onions. There are five “Shot & a Beer” combos—think Toronto and Miller High Life—along with pitchers of Pimm’s Cups and Tom Collins. Stop by One Kendall Square or head to stateparkcambridge.com for more. —EJC middle photo: della Huff; bottom photo: Adam Gesuero/Image Conscious Studios BOSTONGUIDE.COM 7 A two-week primer on Boston’s best events February 3 & 10 2.3.14–2.16.14 Boston and Cambridge colleges face off in the 62nd annual Beanpot Hockey Tournament at TD Garden, often called the social event of the winter season. Harvard University, Northeastern University, Boston College and Boston University compete the first two Mondays of the month for a chance at the coveted title of Beanpot Champion. Refer to listing, page 16.

Beginning February 4 The American Repertory Theater’s Tony Award- winning artistic director Diane Paulus returns to Cambridge with Witness Uganda. The musical follows a young man from New York City to Africa, a journey that ultimately changes his life. This world premiere production is based on the true story of playwright Griffin Matthews (pictured, center). Refer to listing, page 26.

Beginning February 5 Nick Cave’s stunning soundsuits descend on the Institute of Contemporary Art’s West Gallery this month. The outsized, kaleidoscopic costumes are at once uplifting and a bit intimidating, built using everything from buttons to colored synthetic fur to antique toys. It’s a joyful sight to see, yet at its core, the colorful collection is inspired by the idea of protest. Refer to listing, page 17.

February 7–9 Broadway goes punk as the musical American Idiot hits the Boston Opera House stage for a three-day run. Based on Green Day’s Grammy- winning album of the same name, the high-energy show follows three friends stuck in suburbia, and features familiar hits like “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” “Holiday” and the title song. Refer to listing, page 16.

February 15 & 16 Oenophiles wait all year for the Boston Wine Expo, a week-long celebration of wine from throughout the world.

36 Panorama aee t p k a the past TakingHIg5 theh Mystery out of Boston History Commonwealth Avenue Mall

erving as a leafy link between the Public Garden Sand 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
