On Tuesday, October 2, Boston magazine celebrated the 2007 Best of Boston® winners in the dining category with a flavorful fête at Granite Links in Quincy. The event took place in both the elegant ballroom, overlooking the city skyline, and the pavillion tent where the 2008 Infiniti EX drew lots of attention from guests. With more than thirty Best of Boston®

restaurants and chefs in attendance and over 400 guests, it was undeniably a memorable (and mouthwatering) night.

Guests gathered for a sporty soirée at Bosse Sports in Sudbury on Tuesday, October 16 to celebrate Bostonmagazine’s Best of Boston® winners in the west category. The party occured in the club’s indoor driving range, where guests were encouraged to practice their swings, sway to the DJ’s music, sip cocktails, and savor fine cuisine. Infiniti’s shiny collection of vehicles provided the entrance to the party with added glitz.

On Tuesday, October 23, Boston magazine celebrated the 2007 Best of Boston® winners in the south with a fabulous fall affair. Guests con-vened on the leather couches at the luxurious Red Lion Inn in Cohasset while sipping Moët Hennessy cocktails and S. Pellegrino®. Best of Boston®

winners featured delicious fare and showcased glamorous wares to enhance the evening’s festivities.
