Magazine BLU is sexy, smart, social and sophisticated. It is the choice of professional, upwardly mobile, confident, intelligent and philanthropic individuals who enjoy their work, social and personal status.

BLU readers do not routinely want celebrity gossip, objectification of either gender, blatantly offensive story lines or tips for following here-today, gone-tomorrow trends.

Magazine BLU readers do seek diversion from everyday stressors, through discovery of emerging artists, the best vacations, things to do and cuisine to enjoy. They want advice regarding timely and quality additions to their already established personal wardrobe and home interior, key pieces of sophistication earmarked to become timeless classics.

Magazine BLU presents cutting-edge features and editorials about known and unknown individuals who have made their mark on society, or who are on the cusp of making a difference in our world. Celebrities are featured, not simply because of celebrity, but because they have something to say that we think you might want to hear.

Magazine BLU does not seek to "matchmake" or promote marriage, nor do we discourage transition from singledom to a personal partnership.

BLU simply brings forward the news, information, diversion and tools you want for the ultimate enjoyment of your own personal ride!

That is what is different about Magazine BLU.

So, are you BLU?

Boston: In Motion and At Rest
Couples' Excursions
By Scott Pruden
Fall 2007

In Motion

Duck Boats – Reviled by locals but loved by tourists, these repurposed World War II amphibious vehicles take riders on a motorized tour of historic Boston while quacking all the way, then plunge into the Charles River for a scenic water tour. www.bostonducktours.com
Swan Boats, Public Garden – One of the most charming of Boston’s water trips, these flat catamarans have operated in one form or another for 120 years and allow for an easy-going tour of the Public Garden lagoon. www.swanboats.com

Charles River Canoe and Kayak – For those with a more adventurous bent, head west to Allston and rent a two-person kayak for a self-propelled trip along the Charles River. www.paddleboston.com
Paul Dudley White Charles River Bike Trail – Head to Boston Bicycle at 842 Beacon Street to rent your ride, then head to the river to take advantage of this scenic 14-mile loop that runs from Boston’s Museum of Science to historic Watertown. www.cambridgebicycle.com

At Rest

Hotel Marlowe – On the Cambridge side but convenient to both Boston and Harvard (and, depending on where your room is, stunning views of each), the Marlow will treat you so well you might not want to leave. A traditional feel combines with modern details and an attentive (but not intrusive) staff to make it a perfect travelers’ home base. Lovers take note: the City Love package sets the stage for an evening of indoor fun. www.hotelmarlowe.com
Rialto – This Cambridge dining highlight lies on Harvard Square and continues to offer some of the most innovative cuisine this side of the Charles. Now under the ownership of Chef Jody Adams, the recently renovated space is open yet private with sexy curved-back banquettes and sheer curtains arranged to foster intimacy. www.rialto-restaurant.com
The Bristol Lounge, Four Seasons Hotel – Overlooking the Public Gardens, the Bristol Lounge offers upscale luxury in a relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for high tea or an afternoon cocktail. On Fridays and Saturdays the lounge features a Viennese dessert buffet with (step away from the scale) more than 30 types of cakes, cookies, crepes and other sweets. www.fourseasons.com/boston
Moodz Day Spa, Salon, Boutique – After a few long days of sightseeing and partying, indulge in an 80-minute couple’s shiatsu massage in the spa’s special couple’s suite. www.moodzspa.com
