NYE: Celebrate 2016

The Red Balloon wishes you a very Happy and Healthy 2016!
We find ourselves on the precipice of a new year.
Here's to a New Year and all the great and wondrous things that go along with it!

If you haven't yet made plans for New Year's Eve in Boston, I've complied a few events to look into.

Spirit of Boston:
The boat anchors as close as possible to the barge where the midnight fireworks where be set off, allowing for quite the view. As an added bonus, champagne is included.

The Beat Hotel:
Located in the heart of Harvard Square The Beat Hotel is not an actual hotel, it's a restaurant. The food is exceptional.
Below is a photo from the what can only be called the "First Round" of the buffet table.

The Fireworks:
At 7 pm and midnight, there will be a fireworks display not to be missed.

Here's to a New Year!

2015 Gingerbread Competition

The Red Balloon proudly presents: Scenes from the 2015 Gingerbread House Competition. The annual event takes place at the Boston Society of Architects (BSA) space. Always a jolly time in which one gingerbread house is crowned winner and the others have to somehow find a way to obtain an adjustable rate mortgage (only kidding or am I?) Okay here's a look at some of the designs.
