This Brazilian immigrant built a taste of home for an entire community
When you walk into Muqueca in Inman Square, the smell of shrimp, fish and rice fills the room. A small woman nicknamed Fafá shuffles through a tight kitchen, giving soft orders to the other cooks. The walls are painted in bold colors and nearly covered in artwork and fabrics. Tables are filled with families and friends, speaking in an array of languages.

This Boston bar offers 'progressive happy hour'
Steph here , your friendly neighborhood cheapskate. A Charlestown bar is trying to incentivize afternoon foot traffic with a "progressive happy hour." The intrigue: The specials at Sullivan's Public House can't include alcohol because of the state's liquor restrictions, but it can subsidize food during lulls. State of plate: The bar offers a free appetizer with a drink, but only between 4-4:15pm Monday through Thursday. There's a 75% discount on an appetizer from 4:15-4:30pm, then a 50% discount from 4:30-5pm. Between 5 and 6pm, apps are 25% off if you buy a drink. What I got: A small plate of bourbon glazed ribs and some pigs in a blanket in the last hour, alongside a couple of $15 espresso martinis. With the discount, they cost $12 and $10.50, respectively. Be smart: If you're trying to save money, don't get suckered into buying drinks you didn't want for some cheap eats. I was planning on meeting a friend over drinks anyway, so the happy hour felt worth it.

Review & setlist: Journey soldiers into Boston before (allegedly) going their separate ways
The Final Frontier Tour is supposedly the band's last after 53 years and many personnel changes. Journey at TD Garden, Boston, Nov. 10, 2026. Journey made music meant to be heard in three contexts: behind the bedroom door of a teenager whose parents disapprove of rock music, blasting through the rolled-down windows of a secondhand Z28, and in arenas. With the band’s core fanbase too old for the first and (probably) too responsible for the second, that left the last option on Tuesday, as the veteran band brought its Final Frontier Tour to the TD Garden.
