✨ Something wicked this way came…
An evening of cocktails, connection, and a little mystery at Cambridge’s newest speakeasy. 🕯️🥂
From the immersive atmosphere and unforgettable bites to inspiring conversation with fellow industry professionals, it was the perfect night to step behind the scenes and experience the vision of Alice and Monarch.

A special thank you to Daniel Roughan for sharing the story behind this exciting new addition to Cambridge’s dining scene — and to everyone who joined us and made the evening one to remember. 🖤

Here’s to new connections, new spaces, and a little bit of wickedness along the way. 🎃✨

🪩NACE Experience 2026✨ Earlier this month, some of our Boston board members traveled to New Orleans for the NACE Experience Conference! Unlike any other industry event, Experience is truly immersive—bringing curated education, guided networking, and fresh ideas that elevate our chapter and expertise! We spent time mingling with friends (both new and old!), taking in unforgettable educational sessions (that will be coming to future meetings!), and diving into the authentic New Orleans party atmosphere thanks to NACE New Orleans & NACE National! We cannot wait to tell you all about it at our September Chapter meeting & if you are ever interested in joining our board, we’d be happy to chat your ear off!
