Boston’s Badass Nightlife Bloggers

Kimberly Belle – Boston

Kimberly is a freelance writer and the co-owner/executive chef of The Dinner Belle. She also writes her own food and lifestyle blog which can be found at www.kimberlybelle.com. She flips back and forth between New York and Boston drinking and eating late into the night at the newest and hottest spots in both cities. Her favorite venues are: Smith & Mills (NY), Terroir (NY), Saloon (Boston), and Back Bar (Boston).  

In Kimberly’s Words:

“Restaurants clear out after 10pm, and that’s when the regulars in the restaurant industry start pouring in. It’s then that even – and especially – the best restaurants in town start heating up. Chefs experiment with new dishes to share among friends, bartenders get a heavy hand, waiters relax into a more casual vibe, and if you’re lucky, you might be invited to a lock-in. By 4am most dinner spots call it quits, but on occasion, managers have been known to turn on the lights, lock the doors, and play host to an inside crew of foodies, locals, staff, and when the fates are in my favor, writers.”

Emma Snider – Boston

An active writer on the Boston nightlife scene, Emma Snider loves finding the newest, strangest, and/or wildest spots in Beantown. Her writing can be found on Party Earth where she writes about everything from the dingiest Boston dives to the glitziest of high-end clubs. Her favorite venues are: Brendan Behan’s Pub, Drink, Trina’s Starlite Lounge, Deep Ellum, and Tasty Burger.

In Emma’s Words:

“I wasn’t able to get in contact with anyone at 28 Degrees to set up a time to meet for an interview. Finally, I decided to go in on a winter Sunday night, figuring business would be slow. The bar is on a sleepy residential street in the South End, so as I was approaching I was envisioning maybe a few regulars at the bar, the manager twiddling his thumbs – it would be no problem to ask someone a few questions. I opened the door and found myself in the middle of a drag show! The drag queen, decked out in a Santa outfit and belting Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You”, actually snagged me with her boa and danced with me. What can you do in a situation like that except go with it?”
