STAY September ushers in the opening of 907 Main in the heart of Central Square. The 67-room boutique property from local star-makers Hay Creek Hotels also features a two-bedroom penthouse and a new restaurant, The Dial. And we can’t wait to see the city from the perch of Blue Owl, a rooftop bar that opens later this year. From $219, 907 Main St., Cambridge, 907main.com EAT While many restaurants shuttered during the pandemic, The Bittersweet Shoppe—a gourmet coffee cafe and vintage soda fountain—opened. Owner Tracy Casavant launched Boston’s first luxury picnic experience. Guests at the Newbury Street shop can buy a blanket and choose between one or more of the seven picnic boxes packed with treats like Belgian waffles and charcuterie. @thebittersweetshoppeonnewbury INDULGE Hair and nails need a little love?
