Yesterday I was in Crate & Barrel, admiring cute pie dishes and fancy aprons, wondering why my kitchen doesn’t have the same aesthetic. Then I spotted a $40 whisk and snapped back to reality. Some things aren’t worth the splurge.

Concert tickets, on the other hand, absolutely are. But it’s even better when you can get them for free. Enter to win tickets for The Antlers next week.

THE LOCAL’S LIST: NICOLE SALIBA

We found a way to be nosy and call it networking. The Local’s List is our weekly excuse to yap with cool people doing cool things around Boston, aka “the most serve-a-phobic city.” That’s what Nicole Saliba dubbed our fair city and she’s not wrong. With Let’s Get Dressed, she’s proving this city can show up in something other than the Boston uniform.
