Warm up with brunch before you drop your pants on the subway....
Catch Sunday brunch, or live jazz seven nights a week. A fire crackles on the hearth, the staff is friendly, and several bespectacled moose heads add a quirky touch. Maybe the older crowd favors the music that's quiet enough to talk over, or the moderate prices. The steak was juicy and cooked as requested and the baked potato was standard.
At the The Hampshire HouseThe Hampshire House, 84 Beacon St.
I'm sure you've ALL heard of it...and guess what? It's baaackk!! For it's fourth year running. If you're looking for something to on Sunday this would probably be it.
The 4th annual No Pants Subway Ride in Boston will take place on Sunday, January 9th in the afternoon at 2pm at Alewife. Specifics may change between now and the event, so register at our Boston Flash Mob site for email updates.
You must arrive by 2pm to receive instructions and be assigned to a team. Wear 2 or more pairs of underwear to prevent embarrassing "wardrobe malfunctions" as well as to keep your bits from freezing! Bring a bag/large purse/backpack/tall hat/briefcase to hide your pants in when the event starts. To receive instructions and to be assigned to a team, just look for the people with the umbrellas that have an interrobang ( ‽ ) on them
The official pants-free after-party for the 21+ only crowd will take place at McGreavy's near the Hynes T stop. It's going to be pretty phenomenal and an event in and of itself, so make sure you can attend for a bit. It isn't open-bar, but there's a pretty good chance we'll buy you guys a round.
A suggested and fantastic sounding location for an alcohol-free & under-21 after-party is pantless bowling in Davis Square.
The No Pants Subway Ride is a global event started by www.ImprovEverywhere.com in New York in 2002.

oin Watson Adventures on a murder mystery scavenger hunt for adults!A curator has been murdered and left a trail of clues connected with secrets in works of art at the Museum of Fine Arts. As your team gathers answers about the art, you begin to piece together a sordid tale about greed, lust, pride, revenge and treachery, all revolving around the museum’s planned multi-million-dollar purchase of a long-lost painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. The murder victim knew too much—and now it’s up to you to learn what he knew and discover what drove one of four suspects to commit murder. To find out, you’ll have to crack a secret code left in the victim’s appointment calendar. Can you figure out who dunnit? Be prepared for our most challenging hunt.
Price, which includes museum admission: $37.50. Advance purchase is required via http://www.watsonadventures.com. Questions? Call 877-9GO-HUNT, but please do not contact the museum directly.

Types We Can Make
A Selection of Contemporary Swiss Type Design
The exhibition presents a selection of new typography from Switzerland, where type design has been a high art form for generations. Young Swiss designers today confront this long tradition with irreverence, humor and boldy creative strokes using digital and traditional design tools. Represented in the exhibition are the font designs of Nicolas Eigenheer, Phillippe Desarzens, Matthieu Cortat, Emmanuel Rey, Jeremy Schorderet, Ian Party, Gilles Gavillet, David Rust and a dozen others, all graduates of the design program at University of Art & Design (ECAL) in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The exhibition was organized by the MIT Museum in collaboration with ECAL and swissnex Boston. The exhibition was curated by Francois Rappo and Pierre Keller, ECAL, guest curators for typography; Alexis Georgacopoulos, ECAL, exhibition designer; and Gary Van Zante, organizing curator for the MIT Museum.
