LIZ BRUNNER

WHO: Former broadcast journalist and now president of Brunner Communications ( lizbrunner.com). DINE UP: “There are so many great restaurants in Boston compared to 20 years ago. Personally, I love all of Jamie Mamano’s restaurants—Mistral (223 Columbus Ave., 617867-9300; mistralbistro.com), Teatro (177 Tremont St., 617-778-6841; teatroboston.com), Mooo (15 Beacon St., 617-670-2515; mooorestaurant .com), and Sorellina (1 Huntington Ave., 717-412-4600; sorellinaboston .com).” PERSONAL TOUCH: “I have a fabulous personal shopper, Sarah Altman, at Saks Fifth Avenue (The Shops at Prudential Center, 617-262-8500; saks.com). She knows my style and is great about getting in touch with me when she has things that she knows I will love. I travel a lot for my business, so having someone help me out saves time and money.” MOD MOOD: “My new favorite interiors style is quite contemporary and modern—not sure when or how that happened—and that means Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams (142 Berkeley St., 617-266-0075; mgbwhome.com). The Boston store is terrific.”
