What are your resolutions for the new year? Trick question, because we don’t want to hear it. In fact, we’d like to propose these five things that are the exact opposite of responsible resolutions instead. Your other friend can be the good influence.
They say not to spend all your money in one place. But if you must: this currently-for-sale Back Bay mansion with a private elevator, six parking spaces and a 2,200-bottle wine cellar isn’t bad for being one place.
So you’re going to try cutting back on buying things and setting some more money aside. Nice. But just in case, know that you can commission someone else to roam the halls of Copley Place and poach whatever it is you need. It’s a loophole. You make the rules.
One way to cut back on red meat is by setting aside a steak budget and sticking to it. One way to be better than that is to go to O Ya, where for about $450, you’ll receive a cut of their prized Kobe beef with frites. The frites probably aren’t the expensive part.
You’ll cut back on the bar tabs this year. You really will. But not before trading $100 for the Billionaire Bijou at Wink & Nod, made with Nolet’s reserve gin, chartreuse and saffron-infused Leone orange bitters. That thing about saffron being worth more than gold by weight: yep.
This year, you become a more compassionate and understanding person. After you show up at George Foreman III’s gym with a pair of gloves and the burning desire to pummel a stranger, that is. Spar. We meant spar with a stranger.
