While we’ve been sitting here waiting for them to open one in our fair city, they were busy scheming. The hip brand recently consolidated its efforts and opened a concept called a shop-in-shop, which is basically a CUSP boutique inside Neiman Marcus (5 Copley Place, 617-536-3660). The cute boutique offers items from more affordable and—dare we say—trendier designers such as Alice + Olivia, DVF, Rag & Bone, Vince, Theory, Alexander Wang and Phillip Lim. Add it to the list of places to find cool gear in Boston. Can you say shopping spree? —Samantha House

What Boston’s Scent- sational buzzing about If you haven’t yet discovered New York-based, obsession- worthy beauty brand Kiehl’s Since 1851 (112 Newbury 7.23.12 St., 617-247-1777), it may be time to stop by a store and hop on the bandwagon. This celebrity favorite is known for everything from moisturizer to lip balm, and now they’re throwing something new into the mix. Coined Aromatic Blends, this scented body collection is made up of simple, natural ingredients that take your senses on a trip around the globe. Fragrances including orange flower and lychee are inspired by trips to Morocco and China, while the vanilla and cedarwood combination takes its cues from Uganda and the southern U.S. Each is available as a body cleanser, body lotion and fragrance. Bonus! Two lucky Panorama readers can win a full Aromatic Blends set, valued at $125. To enter, like Panorama on Facebook and tell us why you love Boston. —Samantha House

6 Panorama Hubbub Dive In The Colonnade Hotel (120 Huntington Ave., 617-424-7000) provides a luxurious city escape with accommodations to match—including arguably the best rooftop pool in Boston. The aptly named “The Roof Top Pool” is open during warm months and is complete with a panoramic view of Boston’s Back Bay. Guests lounge poolside 11 stories high with the convenience of a food cabana, which serves light fare as well as alcoholic and non- alcoholic beverages.

Asi an Sensation There’s a new kid on the block when it comes to top-notch Asian fusion. Empire Asian Restaurant and Lounge (One Marina Park Drive, 617-295-0001) boasts not only some of the best sushi in town, but also sports some seriously expansive digs. Roughly 14,000 square feet of elegant seating areas, beautiful traditional artwork and a breathtaking bar await all who enter this waterfront gem. Established by Big Night Entertainment Group, the minds behind the beloved Red Lantern, Empire offers an astounding array of quality pan-Asian cuisine and superb mixed drinks. Pot stickers, sushi, dumplings and even pad thai are all on the menu at this glitzy new culinary outpost in the up- and-coming Innovation District. —Paul Adler

Harbor Hotspot When most think of an alley, it conjures visions of a dark and seedy recess. We have an alley that just might change your mind. Enter The Alley Bar at Rowes Wharf (Rowes Wharf, Atlantic Ave., 617-748-1857). This quaint watering hole overlooks Boston’s scenic waterfront and makes for a great spot to enjoy a reviving summer cocktail. Sip on inspired mixed drinks such as The Alley Cat, made with vodka, mint, Serrano simple syrup and fresh lime and garnished with cilantro, or the Scary Thoughts, with rum, Orgeat almond, lime juice and a blueberry syrup float. After a round or two of fun concoctions, dive into delicious treats such as salty corn tortillas with tomato salsa or smoked salmon bruschetta and marinated wild mushrooms. —Jagnoor Walha middle photo: Danielle Ashley Burke BOSTONGUIDE.COM 7 Boston on the Water W ith Boston’s seaside locale and an increasingly hot summer, there’s never been a better time for getting active on the water.

BOSTONGUIDE.COM 11 Boston’s Emerging Waterfront The Innovation District steps up its game with some awe-inspiring attractions.

The Hub’s waterfront neighborhood, which includes the Fort Point area as well as a portion of South Boston, has recently been dubbed “The Innovation District.” Just a short stroll through the surprising streets of this up-and-coming area proves this to be an extremely apt title. The Innovation District’s newest attraction is undoubtedly the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum (refer to listing, page 52), now open on the Congress Street Bridge. Here, visitors of all ages can trace the tumultuous history of our nation through re-creations of the 18th century vessels Beaver and Eleanor Institute of along with some eye-popping high-tech Contemporary Art touches. Meanwhile, the nearby Boston Children’s Museum (refer to listing, page 24) offers activities, education and entertainment for Beantown’s youngest visitors. Boston’s famed Institute of Contempo- rary Art (refer to listing, page 24) is yet another of the Innovation District’s world-renowned attractions. The city’s first new art museum in over a century, the ICA’s futuristic structure houses a wealth of installations, paintings, photographs and sculptures from some of the biggest names in contemporary art. If you feel a bit famished, there is no rea- son to leave the area. In fact, one of Boston’s very best restaurants is located right in Fort Boston Children’s Museum Point. Sportello (refer to listing, page 73), James Beard Award-winning chef Barbara and interesting way to round out any visit to the Lynch’s take on a classic diner, serves inspired area.
