St. Patrick's Day festivities start early in Boston
At the Black Rose in downtown Boston, the music is loud, the Guinness is flowing, and spirits are high. A Monday St. Patrick's Day means four days of festive fun - starting with a 'slainte' on Friday night. "This is the place to be! St. Patrick's Day weekend, we love it here. We come every year!" said Sue Doyle. Of course, the weekend highlight - happens in the heart of South Boston. And leading up to the big parade Sunday, you don't have to look far for a green beer or corned beef, creatively served. "This is kind of the calm before the storm. It'll start tonight and take us straight through, probably to Tuesday morning. It will be a line around the corner from the moment we open until we close. It's going to be an insane day," said Chris McGee who manages operations at The Broadway and The Playwright. South Boston parade starts earlier Insanely fun, or insanely memorable - sure, but city leaders and parade organizers hope to keep things under control. The parade will step off at 11:30 Sunday morning - an hour and a half earlier than years past. Police will be watching for public drinking and underage riders bringing alcohol on the MBTA. And Sunday evening, Southie bars will stop serving early. Jack Doherty with College Hype has been supplying Southie neighbors with their green parade gear for 25 years, giving him a front row seat to the rich traditions, and rowdy celebrations. "We'll see how it goes. Last year was a little crazy so we had to move around. We'll see what happens," Doherty said. "Hopefully Sunday is a nice happy and healthy day for everybody."

Bentley's Latest One-Off Batur Features Dazzling 18-Karat Rose Gold Trim
The details are what set Bentley's latest one-off build apart from the pack. The British marque has just unveiled a new example of the Batur called 'The Black Rose.' The coachbuilt grand tourer is the first to feature 3-D-printed solid rose gold trim. More from Robb Report Police Just Busted a Crime Ring That Was Rerouting Deliveries of Rolls-Royces, Ferraris, and More How Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and More Marques Are Responding to Shifts in the EV Market Thieves Were Sentenced After Stealing $11.5 Million in Luxury Cars Bentleys don't get much more exclusive than the Batur. Introduced in 2023, the exquisite coupe, like the open-top Bacalar before it, is an ultra-exclusive version of the Continental GT. At the time of its unveiling, the automaker announced that its bespoke division, Mulliner, would build just 18 examples of the two-door, each of which would be designed with the input of its owner. The Black Rose features a striking color scheme you won't find on any other Batur. The lower half of the vehicle is done up in metallic black, while the upper body is finished in glossy Beluga. It's the trim that's especially noteworthy, though. Satin Rose Gold accents adorn the grille, hood, intakes, side skirts, and mirror caps. You'll even find traces of the color on the 22-inch gloss black wheels. The glitzy hue can also be found inside the vehicle. Bentley says that 210 grams of 18-karat rose gold is present throughout the Black Rose's decadent cabin, including on the dashboard, steering wheel, and drive mode selector. The trim was applied via a 3-D printing technique that the automaker claims has never previously been used on an automobile. Other premium materials found in the interior include Beluga leather, charcoal gray tweed fabric, and metallic black-painted veneers. Bentley's vehicle announcement doesn't include any mechanical details, but previous examples of the Batur have been powered by the marque's soon-to-be-extinct twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W-12. The brawny mill is mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox and makes 730 hp and 737 ft lbs of torque. Thanks to all that oomph, the unnamed owner can accelerate from zero to 60 in 3.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 209 mph. Unfortunately, the Black Rose is a one-off, so if you want a Bentley looks like it you'll probably have to commission it from the automaker yourself. If the car does ever wind up on the secondary market, expect to pay its $2.1 million sticker price or more to add it to your of Robb Report The 2024 Chevy C8 Corvette: Everything We Know About the Powerful Mid-Engine Beast The World's Best Superyacht Shipyards The ABCs of Chartering a Yacht Click here to read the full article.
