What Boston’s Smart Theatre buzzing about When a sudden illness caused a composer to reappraise his life, the result was an energetic, comical musical based 3.18.13 on his own experiences. Presented by Moonbox Productions, A New Brain runs March 15–April 6 at the Plaza Theatre in the Boston Center for the Arts (539 Tremont St., 617-933-8600). Written by the Boston-born William Finn and directed by Alison Olivia Choat, A New Brain tackles fear, hope, regret, love and redemption as the recuperating songwriter attempts to come to terms with his own mortality as well as his relationships with his family and friends. Founded in 2011, Moonbox Productions strives to spotlight local talent from the Greater Boston area while teaming up with various regional nonprofits from across New England. For more information on this unique play, visit bostontheatrescene.com. —Paul Adler

6 Panorama Hubbub bottom photo: Sharman Altshuler Tale of the Dragon There’s always room for another Asian restaurant, especially if it’s owned by Ming Tsai. Tsai studied at Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris, was trained by a renowned sushi master and pastry chef, and is the host of the two-time Emmy Award- nominated cooking show “Simply Ming.” Luckily for us, his latest project is the Fort Point-based restaurant Blue Dragon (324 A Street, 617-338-8585), a clever fusion of Eastern and Western culinary practices. The results are unexpected and enticing, ranging from bison mini-burgers with teriyaki caramelized onions and shiitake mushrooms, to panko fish ’n’ chips—plus everything is reasonably priced. And, unlike most of Boston’s restaurants, Blue Dragon is open late. If you’re craving pad Thai with scallops and bacon, or looking to share sips of a Dragon Bowl, you can get it here until midnight. Boston just got a little more delicious. —Sierra Lister

Interior Design Finds Shouldn’t your abode reflect what a creative, intriguing or colorful character you are? If not, it’s time to browse off the beaten path and discover Twelve Chairs (319 A St., 617-701-3496), the loft-like home furnishing shop that’s filled with enviable finds. Brighten up any space with hand-batiked pillow covers, herringbone-patterned throws and hanging glass jug lamps. Become inspired pulling up a seat at a weathered blue Swedish desk (pictured) and cozy up your den with a vintage drafting table or trunk. And don’t be shy about having big décor dreams—you can coordinate carbon off-set shipping for anywhere in the U.S. In addition, along with beautiful and well-designed products, Twelve Chairs pieces are characterized by a minimum of six People and Planet Principles, such as being created with reclaimed material or nontoxic dyes. Living more thoughtfully has never looked so good. —Elizabeth Stanek

All in the Family It easy to become a regular at Tavern Road (343 Congress St., 617- 790-0808), Fort Point’s new neighborhood hot spot where history and artistry align in all elements. Drawing inspiration from their uncle Adio DiBiccari—a master sculptor whose studio was on Tavern Road near the MFA—brothers Louis and Michael DiBiccari have teamed up to bring a creative space and menu to Boston’s oldest artist community. Amidst family heirlooms from Adio and local artists’ interpretations of his work, peruse the selection of sharable orders like Northern Cross oysters, lamb meatballs and sautéed Manila clams. Featured dishes such as the beef short ribs or freshly caught cobia escabeche are served up family style, while everyone will want to steal a bite of sides like spaetzle mac ’n’ cheese made with gruyere. Also, don’t miss the Pink Dutch Blunderbuss and other whimsical selections on the hand-crafted cocktail list—and relish the moment someone asks what you’re drinking. —Elizabeth Stanek top photo: Nina Gallant Photography; bottom photo: Sarah Young BOSTONGUIDE.COM 7 a peek at the past Taking the Mystery out of Boston History The Gardner H eist
