Absolute Vodka is paying tribute to Boston by creating a special edition brew just for the Hub.

The Swedish spirit maker is out with a new limited edition flavor - black tea and elderflower vodka.

The company’s marketing president said the significance of tea in Boston’s history is well known, which is why it was included as an ingredient.

Boston real estate officials said an anonymous buyer set a city record by paying $300,000 for a private parking space.

It is the most expensive parking space in the city’s history, according to Debra Sordillo of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, who brokered the deal.

Debra Sordillo said several residents at 48 Commonwealth Ave. engaged in a bidding war for the space, driving the asking price of $250,000 up to the record-breaking $300,000.

The Colonnade Hotel in Boston is taking advantage of the current stock market volatility with their Bull and Bears package which gives guests a discount depending on the stock market trend of the day.

The package, which is available Sunday through Thursday gives guests 20 percent off their stay if the market goes down, or 10 percent if the market goes up.

The package is designed for the business traveler and includes a double occupancy room, in-room breakfast, high speed Internet access, an overnight shoeshine and parking.
