...classier establishments on this list, The Kells was recently redone with mahogany paneling and modern-looking circular tables. But with dollar drafts on Wednesdays and a huge dance floor with great tunes, no one’s expecting you to keep your dignity. Right down the street, Great Scott’s used to be another Wednesday night hot spot, but after being shut down multiple times in the past year for its tendency to let in underagers, the Kells is probably a better...

...edition suffered from a junky interior; the new version feels classier, with such options as an aluminum-ribbed dashboard, chrome-ringed air vents and red-and-charcoal leather seats. One funky touch: you can backlight the instrument cluster in one of more than 125 colors...

On their first album, they eschewed the use of vocals (classy), but for “The Power Out”, their debut album for indie label Beggars Group, frontwoman Verity Susman (classier) has contributed vocals in four different languages (classiest). And get this: the English words on “The Valleys” are from a Siegried Sassoon poem, while the German ones on “This Deed” are from The Gay Science—by Nietzsche...

...states of dishabille. For cinephiles with an itch for, say, Kathy Bates in ?About Schmidt,? or Dame Judi Dench in her unbuttoned youth - not to mention early Kelly Preston and middle-period Linda Blair - these are the places to scratch.
