Michaela Bavis welcomes you to Dew Luxe’s new location at 376 West Broadway, which she opened last weekend. The Best-of-Boston Dew Luxe is situated between E and F Street, next to the Lith Club on the left and the new Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation on the right. West Broadway has come alive again! The offerings at Dew Luxe are quite eclectic, so there really are two excellent reasons to make it a destination shop of your own: First, to get a good, general look at all that the newly spacious Dew Luxe offers; second (and more specifically) to go leather – shoes, handbags, and even elegant pet accessories. -Rick Winterson

By RICK WINTERSON The Spring Stroll has become another South Boston tradition. It is centered upon the merchants, enterprises and purveyors of refreshments along Broadway.

New businesses range from the South Boston Arts Association’s (the SBAA’s) charming new “Around the Corner” Gallery to a major opening last Thursday: the Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation.  Check out their “core values” prominently displayed just inside their door.

There are colorful abstracts, collages and wall installations, all of them worth a more-than-passing glance. But the most striking part of the overall displays is the uniquely designed fashions – both practical and, well, a bit impractical (to select a word). These wearable fashions – true works of art ¬– reminded one of the larger and heavily advertised (but no more striking) exhibition of fashion, “#techstyle,” now being shown at the Museum of Fine Arts. (The MFA’s exhibit opened last month and runs through mid-July.) The message here is for you to take a pleasant [...]

A new logo for Roza Lyons has been placed on the signage at 709 East Broadway. It’s punctuated with a line drawing combining a white rose with a lion en passant sinistre. The white rose could symbolize the English House of York, except that “Roza” is the Polish spelling of “rose.” And even though lions are symbols of the English monarchy, Lyon is the name a major city located on the Rhone River in France. Go figure. Roza Lyons is where the Urban Art Bar used to be (it’s now in Brookline). Roza Lyons will be a new restaurant and bar. Its website, which is still limited in details, describes Roza Lyons as “a great restaurant and bar featuring an excellent selection of craft beer [...]
