Philly Going Out
Second helpings in Philly this spring
Movie sequels are rarely as good as the originals. So don’t think of these openings as sequels, but second acts.

Dreaming up life in a ‘Future City’
Gene Coleman has a recurring dream in which he finds himself in a strange city. “I don’t know where this place is, and I don’t think it’s any place that actually exists,” he says. “But it has these fantastic, almost surrealistic architectural qualities to it.”
Boston Arts
Two tickets to ‘Paradise Lost’
“Paradise Lost” is a Depression-era drama rife with parallels to the current economic and political climate. In the wrong hands, a predictable production of Clifford Odets’ period piece could bore an entire audience into a coma.

‘I’ll be your mama’
Sandra Shipley says she wants a lot of people to come see her in “Entertaining Mr. Sloane,” but there’s one person she’s a little nervous about.
Where to celebrate in the city
Almost every single bar in the city will be serving up beer and other specials for St. Patrick’s Day, but here are our picks for places that have the extra luck of the Irish.
New York Going Out
Warming up with a chef for all coasts
Poor Jonnatan Leiva — he moved here from San Francisco right before our snowy winter. But although he might be cold, his kitchen is heating up the New York restaurant scene. Since arriving at 10 Downing Food & Wine in October, he tells us he’s revamped the menu to make “90 percent of everything in house to focus on back-to-the-basics food.”
New York Going Out

New York Going Out
Gin, meat and one full night
Gin and meat. If that combo makes your inner-Brit all tingly just thinking about it, attend next week’s Gin and Meat seminar at Brooklyn Kitchen Labs. Join butcher Tom Mylan and Bombay Sapphire’s master mixologist, James Moreland, as they pair and discuss meat dishes (from porterhouse steaks to chorizo-stuffed duck hearts) with classic and contemporary gin
New York Going Out
Stinky cheese festival
Menus tend to avoid the adjective, but for the next week, “stinky” will take top billing at nine NYC French restaurants during the Annual Winter Cheese Festival (www.tourdefrancenyc.com).
Music
MMMpod
The March MMMpod features conversation and music from
Surfer Blood and The Allman Brothers Band (There's a double-bill you're not too likely to see. However, Gregg Allman does mention Hannah Montana!). We also speak with Vampire Weekend and the Dropkick Murphys.
