XV Beacon Joins The Hypo-Allergenic Craze
Ah, the change of seasons. You can just hear the chestnuts roasting, the pies baking… and the constant sneezing. Yep, it’s allergy season (or cold season, take your pick), but thankfully hotels are coming to sniffly guests’ rescue by providing hypo-allergenic rooms. The latest to get in on the act? Boston’s XV Beacon.
The posh boutique property is the first hotel in Beantown to introduce FDA-cleared devices in hypo-allergenic guests rooms, rolling …
Several months ago, we added a new “food photos” section to the Boston’s Hidden Restaurants website.

Sure, the British Beer Company is slowly expanding in Eastern Massachusetts, but there still aren’t any inside of Route 128, and reviews of the food at BBC seem to be mixed. That is why a place in Salem called The Old Spot has intrigued me for quite some time now, and after finally getting there over the past weekend, I can say that it does seem to be a decent place for a bite to eat …
