Sometimes the best ideas are born out of a bit of desperation.

Back in the summer of 2008, the editor of what was then Stuff@night was preparing to depart for a two-week vacation.

That’s a rare thing in an industry defined by relentless deadlines, but she had good reason for a getaway, given the once-in-alifetime occasion: her honeymoon. But what was the already-small staff to do in her absence? Who would edit the thousands of words that would fill the next issue? Then-creative director Michael Diskin paced and pondered. Finally, an elegant solution arrived: forget the text for once — let’s let the pictures do the talking.

The result was One Night in Boston, a photographic journey through the streets and hotspots of the Hub. It’s become a yearly STUFF tradition — and one of the most-loved issues of the magazine.

This year, for our fifth annual installment, we unleashed a crack team of photographers on Friday, July 13 — a lucky night, it turns out. From dusk until the wee hours, they canvassed Boston and surrounding ’hoods, capturing the colorful characters and striking sights that fill the city after dark. They trained their lenses on chefs sweating at the stovetop, performers strutting on stage, partiers packing bustling bars and thumping dance floors. And they illuminated quiet corners, too, from hidden alleyways to moonlit rooftops to familiar landmarks that take on new guises when the touristy crowds depart.

Together, they prove that a picture can be worth a thousand words and then some. That you don’t need a single sentence to craft a love letter to a city. And that if you’re in need of a muse, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better one than . . .

Belgium is renowned for its vibrant and diverse beer culture. A rich tradition of culinary invention and improvisation, combined with centuries of brewing passion and expertise, helped craft a stunning variety of beer styles enjoyed around the world.

Leffe Blonde was first brewed in 1240 by the monks of Abbaye de Notre Dame de Leffe in Belgium. A spicy, faintly clove-like aroma is balanced by Leffe's creamy body and restrained dry finish.

Stella Artois' rich brewing heritage dates back to 1366 in Leuven, Belgium, where it was first brewed to celebrate the holiday season. Traditional malted barley and the highest quality European hops give Stella Artois its full flavor and delicately crisp finish.

Hoegaarden is the Original Belgian Wheat Beer, dating back to the 15th Century. A naturally cloudy beer, Hoegaarden features a secret to its refreshing flavor and spicy nose: real Curaçao orange peel and a dash of coriander.
