Boston Tee Party on Thursday!

Join our good friends, VIVA ORTEGACY, for their first-ever launch party at GRAND this Thursday. They’ll be unveiling their brand new tee shirt from the future! The future, people! We’re not sure exactly which era of the future. Could be like two weeks, two years, or two decades in the future. Guess you better come to find out!

And while you’re enjoying your tee from the future you can also get some holiday shopping done for the people you love (as well as the people you just have to buy presents for).

Light refreshments and snacks will be available at the event. Yum!

Back in Black. Black Friday Sale!

We all know that the busiest shopping day of the year is the ominous Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. And though it seems to happen earlier every year, we consider this the official start of the holiday season. So what better way to start off than with a store-wide sale! We can’t promise that we’ll open at 6AM, or be selling door-bustin’ electronics at low low prices, but we can promise that all of our lovely goods will be discounted by at least 20%, from 9AM to 9PM. We will also be offering delicious beverages and snacks to ease the stress of holiday shopping. Hope to see you there!

We also have some other great events coming up in December…

December 4th – Ortegacy Boston Tee Party

December 11th – JHill Design Trunk Show

Are you ready for a Miracle (fruit?)

We hope so!

In what may be a first in Boston, Grand has managed to acquire a small amount of the elusive Miracle Fruit berries. And to celebrate, we’re having a tasting party on the evening of Saturday, November 15th at 8:00 p.m.

What the heck are we talking about?

Well, your best bet is to check out this video from the New York Times. This pretty much sums it up.

Long story short, this crazy little berry has the ability to transform your taste buds for an hour so that everything you eat tastes absurdly sweet. For example, picture yourself drinking balsamic vinegar or Tabasco sauce, but it tastes super sugary…

The cost to attend the Miracle Fruit party will be $15 and includes one (1) berry and food and drinks to challenge your taste buds. The food and drink will be focused specifically on things that will push the envelope of what you’re used to. Did you ever think that hot sauce on a lemon could taste sweet? Join us on Saturday and see for yourself!

Space is EXTREMELY (we’re serious!) limited and we only have 30 berries. So if you want to enjoy the magic that is Miracle Fruit, you have to come to the store and purchase a ticket in person. Sorry, we will not be able to take email or phone requests, you will need a physical ticket to partake. Hope to see you there!
