Fall means the start of football season, and I'm looking forward to seeing the New England Patriots take the feld again at Gillette Stadium after an incredible Super Bowl win last February. 2. The Newport International Polo Series is still in full swing in Rhode Island, and I enjoy taking in a few late-season matches. 3. It's that wonderful transition time when the days are warm and sunny and the nights are cool but still comfortable outdoors. I can enjoy a day at the beach without the crowds and head back to the city for dinner at my favorite new spot, Serafna. With Jane Hertzmark Hudis, global brand president of Estée Lauder, at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation's Hot Pink Party in Boston. September iS my favorite time of year. I love how Boston is buzzing again as everyone comes back from summer vacation. The patios in the Back Bay and along the waterfront are packed with happy diners, while that fun "back to school" excitement is in the air. Boston Common was thrilled to partner once again on the Best Buddies Challenge: Hyannis Port race during a weekend that truly brought out New England's best. We had a summer full of art opportunities, including a beautiful 60th-anniversary festival gala for the South Shore Art Center in Cohasset. We also sponsored the Take a Seat gala, presented by the New England chapter of the International Furnishings and Design Association at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline. Speaking of cars, I am eager for the annual Boston Cup car show on Boston Common; last year I had my eye on a vintage Porsche 356 Speedster, and I can't wait to see what else they bring out this year. A nd we are excited to partner with our friends at Roche Bobois this month as they open a new location in Natick. I hope to see you out in town as we soak in these last brilliant rays of late-summer sunshine. And stay tuned for Boston Common's Late Fall issue, celebrating our 10th anniversary and this wonderful city. // this issue // on my r adar Follow me on Facebook at facebook.com/boston-common and on bostoncommon-magazine.com. glen k elley 34 bostoncommon-magazine.com letter from the Publisher
