Join the Upscale Community of Boston's Waterfront and Enjoy New Art Exhibits this Fall

Fall events at the ICA Boston

Fall events at the ICA Boston

Boston has a wealth of culture to offer residents, particularly in the area of contemporary and fine art.  Museums, theaters and galleries decorate the streets and waterways, making the waterfront the ideal place to live for any art lover.
One of the museums easily accessible to those living in waterfront  lofts in Boston is the Institute of Contemporary Art. The museum features innovative art from both established and up-and-coming artists. Galas, auctions, parties and invite-only exhibitions are held throughout the year for museum supporters and members of the art community.
On Oct. 28, 2011, the museum will celebrate 75 years of contemporary art in Boston. An annual gala that many call the best social experience in the Seaport District will kick off the celebration, followed by the now famous After-Party on the Harbor.
The gala kicks off several new exhibits for the fall including the Isaac Julien: Ten Thousand Waves exhibit.  Running from October 28 through March 2012, the exhibit is a unique multimedia experience. Nine large video screens provide three interwoven stories, taking visitors from China’s past to the present.
For those who enjoy art in a less mobile fashion, the museum also presents the Jessica Jackson Hutchins exhibit from October 28 through March 2012.  In her first solo exhibit at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Hutchins presents a large sculpture called Symposion. All of the artist’s pieces are created from found objects including furniture, clothing, ceramics and paper-mache that are formed together into elaborate pieces.
The Institute of Contemporary Art also provides a number of permanent exhibits for art lovers of all types. Artists in the collection include Paul Chan, Tara Donovan, Josiah McElheny, Kelly Sherman and Rachel Perry Welty. Ongoing programs cover multiple artistic media, including sculpture, painting, film and live performances. Seminars and courses offered throughout the fall include line drawing, contemporary dance and choreography.

Trade at Atlantic Wharf: New Restaurant by Celebrity Chef Jody Adams

Everyone knows that the Fort Point Neighborhood in Boston’s Seaport District is getting more desirable by the minute, and here is just one more sign.  Jody Adams, renowned chef, restauranteur, author, world traveler, and contestent on Top Chef Masters, will soon be opening a new restaurant in the areaBoston's Atlantic Wharf,  ”Trade at Atlantic Wharf.”  The restaurant will feature Mediterranean fare influenced heavily by Spanish, Italian, and Greek cuisine.   The dinner menu will include items such as roast chicken marinated in lemon, slow-cooked stuffed pork and braised beef short ribs, and grilled bluefish priced from $23 to $30.

This is certainly not Adams’ debut in Boston. Her restaurant, Rialto, located in Cambridge, is a perennial favorite and has received praise in both Gourmet and Food and Wine magazines.

The highly anticipated  ”Trade at Atlantic Wharf” will add to the increasingly sophisticated allure of the Seaport District. The area’s posh and casual restaurants and nightlife have made it Boston’s coolest places to life.  Stylish residences, such as FP3 (which is located just over the bridge from Trade), draw an intellectual, fun, diverse, and progressive crowd of well established professionals and artists alike.

Seaport District's Growing Popularity Seen in MBTA Ridership Surge

Boston’s Waterfront is a Popular Destination Year-Round!

A recent article in the Boston Herald discussed how the MBTA Silver Line has experienced huge increases in ridership due to the newfound popularity of Boston’s waterfront.

Busy Boston WaterfrontLegal Sea Foods’ CEO Roger Berkowitz commented on Boston’s waterfront saying that the “streets were teeming with people as if the Tall Ships were in town.”   Berkowitz is not the only one noticing the growing popularity of Boston’s Seaport District as one of Boston’s most exciting destinations for residents and tourists looking  for  great dining, shopping, and cultural actives.

The area’s increasing popularity is also reflected in much of the high end commercial and residential development happening in the area.  Luxury loft condos, like FP3 Boston, are reminiscent of localized cultural explosions seen in New York’s SoHo neighborhood.  Art exhibitions, posh restaurants, and exciting nightlife make Boston’s Seaport District the newest, hottest part of the city!

With Arclinea cabinets, Silestone counter tops, Bosch, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, Penthouse 1 at FP3, listed for $1.65 million, would make any foodie feel like a winner.

Chef Ben says, “Good lighting around the stove is key, and this home features lights in the overhead vent hood as well as an exhaust system with different levels of draw. Combine that with a five-burner gas stove, double ovens and an oversized refrigerator that blends into the cabinetry and you have a cooking area any professional would love.”
