...jazzed-out version of Red Line, Wonder Bar draws a youthful, well-heeled crowd. Some of the city’s best live jazz, two stories of over-priced liquors, a posh glass-fronted area and Burberry plaids make Wonder Bar the it place in Allston. While BU students claim it as their own, they are—as usual—mistaken.

...time it takes my roommate to prepare his bio flashcards, he could drive north to any number of posh New England ski resorts. Since the larger mountains in Vermont attract a huge number of people every weekend, I prefer to head up even farther to Sunday River or Sugarloaf in Maine—it’s worth the trek to escape the New York crowds. Two days of solid skiing is enough to tire out just about anyone short of the crew team, so “the weekend’s too short” is hardly...
