"The champion of this department was Levy Restaurants, an event and catering company associated with Hynes Convention Center. Levy’s cupcakes were basically beyond words. I’ve never tasted a better crafted cupcake in my entire 26 year-cupcake-eating-life."

A new report on the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority's record-keeping, public records retention and data collection process has found that the authority followed appropriate technical protocol.
The audit was launched in response to a Massachusetts Senate investigation.
The authority’s practices related to device destruction and document retention came under scrutiny after the Senate Post Audit and Oversight Committee on Dec. 5 sent a letter asking the MCCA to explain its process and decisions in 2023 related to destruction of some devices amid two investigations, one from the state auditor, that were ongoing at that time.
Coming to the MCEC July 18 – 22!
MCCA Conventions C.A.R.E 2022 Update
“There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a city-kid on a boat for the first time — smiling, confident, and amazed after catching their first fish. To keep our program running, we rely on the generosity and support of programs like the MCCA’s Community Partnership Grants. Their commitment to community programs, particularly youth programs, makes our small operation and all those smiles possible.”

In the back of The Harp, a sports bar across the street from North Station, a blonde woman in denim shorts and cowboy boots grabbed her friend’s arm. “This is it!,” she exclaimed, pulling her companion onto the dance floor. It was a Thursday at 10:30 p.m., and “Burn It Down” by Nickleback had just come on at full volume.
Under colorful flashing lights, about 30 young Bostonians stomped their boots in unison and did a high kick with a little clap. Some people sang along; one dancer with a long dark-brown ponytail, wearing a white miniskirt and sneakers, called out the steps for a couple of beginners stumbling along in front of her.
The soccer fans at the front of the bar watched the World Cup with a mass of Gen Z line dancers bobbing in the background.
