Sel de la Terre in Back Bay
Here are some fun events i found at Sel de la Terre in Back Bay, connected to the Mandarin Oriental...Sel de la Terre offers the rustic country fare of Provence & surrounding Southern France. Fresh local bounty is the motivation behind our creative, yet rustic menu, and the warm and comfortable atmosphere of Sel de la Terre makes it the ideal place to enjoy a meal no matter the occasion.
NOTE: While i'm current not in the market for any of the big dinner/wine pairing events (being prego, I can't enjoy the wine!) but the Mini Burger Mondays sounds good! Visit site for more details: http://www.seldelaterre.com

GET UP and DANCE!Wolfgang, our resident DJ and man about the South End sent along these awesome dance events. I LOVE that these events are FREE! what could be better than that?!
... a few fun events coming up with DJ Francesco and friends spinning this month. hope you made it to the premiere of heartbeats last Friday? Great party at 28degrees! If you missed it - here is your chance to make up for it :) Ciao, Wolf
From DJ Francesco Spenga:
Friends, Night Crawlers, Insomniacs, Dancers, DJs, Househeads....Lots happening in May. This month I'm throwing all of my regular parties, so hopefully I may see some of those who I haven't seen in a while :) I don't have all the flyers done yet, but doesn't mean we can't start spreading the word.
1) Friday May 14th, Heartbeats at 28 Degrees, One Appleton St, Boston (South End), 9pm-1am
**No Cover, No List
The opening night of Heartbeats in April was euphoric, and I'm still feeling it. Seems everything just came together that night and it's definitely one of my most memorable parties to date. You never know when you'll have one of those types of nights, but youjust learn to enjoy them once you realize they're unfolding in front of you. If the next one has half the vibe of the first, it will still be a killer party.
This night is a little different in that I can take a break from house and play a bit of funk, soul, Latin, Italian, Brazilian, and yes, even some Serbian Gypsy music...but inevitably the house music tugs at me like a crying child and I have to give in.
2) Friday May 21st, UNITY at The Good Life, 28 Kingston St, Boston, 9pm-2am
**No Cover, No List
My partner in crime Enrique Florendo and I will be spinning all night, after DJ Do JaJa (Milan Vatovec, NYC) kicks off the night around 9. Come early to chill out and here his sound (more classic funk and soul than house, if any). Then Enrique and I tag team on the decks from about 11 til 2. I love this night in that anything goes, both on the turntables and in the realm of dance moves. Some of you people are amazing the way you move. It's inspring to see from our perspective and once we get to that level in the night the symbiosis between DJ and dancer is evident.
**No Cover - No List - No Dress Code - No Dancer Left Behind - Just Deep House Grooves From Our Soul to Yours
3) Thursday May 27th, Baci & Abbracci Returns to Lucca Back Bay, 116 Huntington St, Boston, 9pm-2am, **No cover
It's been a while since Jay and I have thrown the B&A party, but it's on again on Thursday the 27th, just before Memorial Day Weekend. I'm trying to convince Lucca Back Bay to throw in some strawberries for the night - who doesn't like free strawberries? They go well dipped in house music :)
**No Cover, No List, No Dress Code, 9-2
