Boldfacers

You. Such a zest for life you have! Snazzy South End restaurants? On your speed dial. Red Sox players? They text you for tips. We get it - you're in the know. So we thought we'd turn you on to some other forms of Boston star power - our very own Next Big Things. Each week, you'll meet up-and-coming chefs, fashion designers, authors, rockers, artists and yoga instructors. There might be a meter maid-turned-poet, plumber or philanthropist. On the outside, their stories may not seem so similar, but on the inside, these folks share common ground. With fire in the belly, a heart packed with passion, they excel. They express. They contribute. Put simply, they make Boston tick. Just like you. We call them BOLDFACERS.
