Years after “hot nightspot” status typically wanes, we remain arrested by the former Charles Street Jail, where multiple bars spill the nightly overflow of pretty people into the luxury hotel’s rotunda. It’s an elite, eye-catching scene: corporate studs setting Tinder feeds aflame, vivacious PR mavens with stilettos rivaling those of strutting models (see: Thursday’s Fashionably Late series) and the occasional Mrs. Robinson seeking Fifty Shades of Fun. Hopefully someone saved some handcuffs.
