Restoration Hardware Opening Party
Yes, it’s true the opening of the Restoration Hardware Boston Flagship store was an absolute mob scene tonight but the space is stunning and definitely warrants a trip back.

I was so excited to discover Claudia’s pastries at Cocoanuts earlier this week in the North End. […]
