Yeah I'm hoping someone's got a really good one, I meant to go take some nice ones but I have continually chosen to be lazy lol
 
In September, had dinner at La Padrona and drinks after at the Long Bar & Terrace. Both are exquisite and provide interesting views looking south and west. So far, it's my fave in the U.S. and that includes the Oak Room in Houston and Intercontinental Hotel in downtown LA (73rd floor options). It's not as much the views as it is the elegant design. Obviously, the food and cocktails here are perhaps second to none.

So, ah, what's up with these lights on Raffles Boston. Didn't see any references to it in the plans or looking through this thread a bit. I see this building every night from my apartment and tonight is the very first time I have seen these lights. Lots of reds, yellows, and blues.

Someone in the Mayor's office is spearheading a Red White and Blue lighting scheme for buildings on the 09/11 remembrance (I'm blanking on his name at the moment).

I'm doing some testing this Sunday in a few of my buildings with lights. I know a few other folks with lighting who plan to do the same next week. Maybe this was a test run by Saunders/Raffles of their LEDs to get the right color temperatures to read properly.

‘Everybody has to remember that day’: More Boston towers will be lit up in blue on Sept. 11 - The Boston Globe

You might notice something different about the Boston skyline this Thursday night.

I wonder why they didn’t use blue lighting for the 9/11 anniversary.

Unrelated to Raffles, but One Financial Center wasn’t lit up at all for 9/11, which is very surprising since the nighttime lighting on One Financial Center is frequently used. (Or maybe they did light it up, but I missed it? I only walked by One Financial Center once when it was dark.)

Raffles Boston hotel guests can take a private helicopter ride to World Cup games. But it will cost them. - The Boston Globe

Care to guess how much "The Sky to Stadium Presidential Experience" costs?
www.bostonglobe.com www.bostonglobe.com
Starting at $75,000 for two guests, “The Sky to Stadium Presidential Experience” includes a three-night stay in their presidential suite (complete with a rain shower, furnished kitchen, and baby grand piano), food inspired by the nations competing, premium game day seats with inclusive food and drink, a dedicated butler to help you navigate game day, and of course, air travel to and from the match.
Those who purchase this package will take a six-minute flight on a private helicopter to an airport near Gillette Stadium. A chauffeured vehicle will then bring them to the match.
After the game, the car will take guests back to the airport for their return flight to Boston, soaring over the masses of fans on the road.
