Where to Stay Built as the headquarters for an insurance firm in 1889, the central Elite Plaza Hotel is now a rest stop for pop idols like Robbie Williams and Justin Timberlake. But push past the paparazzi and you'll quickly realize it's the hotel - and not its A-list guests - that's the real star. With pillared and polished granite hallways, and 130 rooms (which start at $275 a night) boasting high stucco ceilings and marbled bathrooms, the Elite Plaza is the epitome of Old World elegance. 3 Västra Hamngatan; www.elite.se...
...Teanga Eile/Second Tongue.” “Twenty Love Poems” featured Daniela F. Joffe ’10 and Merritt A. Moore ’10 in a ballet-inspired dance (choreographed by Joffe) that showcased their skill and stage presence.

That moment, however, will be the death rattle...
...hyperbolic claim? Perhaps, but the sophomore effort from the Philadelphia-based MC, “Free at Last,” is nonetheless a masterful blend of word and song. This is classical rap, if you will—much-needed passionate rhymes delivered in a world dominated by pop-infected, Top-40-intended hip-hop. It makes sense then that the second track on the album, “It’s Over,” finds Freeway commanding, “You need to fall back and concentrate on your music.” This...
...Sound like a trip? At the very least, it was probably inspired by one at some point along the creative process. And then the band plays on top of the globe, as well as in outer space, straddling the rings of Saturn. The song itself is indie college pop in its most unadulterated form. Politically conscious and goofy, country yet polished, Blitzen Trapper’s video collage is nothing if not pure fun. With an ongoing European tour through December, might these guys spread farm boy rock to France? Oui. Another geographical wonder courtesy of Blitzen Trapper...
