Whether it's classical music or club
hopping that gets your blood moving, it won't be difficult to entertain yourself
in Boston. With its diverse neighborhoods, each contributing their own flavor
and identity to the larger patchwork, a broad spectrum of music and entertainment
choices are available on any given night. Whether it's a friendly neighborhood
bar or world-class entertainment you're seeking, you're sure to find many surprising
options in this town with many faces.
Many
are familiar with Boston's famous downtown theater district, with its history
and spectacular Broadway performances. Located just south of Downtown Crossing,
it's just a stone's throw from the Nine Zero, or the Millenium Boston Hotel. With
great restaurants, bars, and dance clubs located throughout the neighborhood,
it's a great place to take a date, or just go hang out with friends. Some notable
venues in this district are the Cheers Bull & Finch Pub (made famous by the
television show, check out their award winning burgers), Brew Moon (an award winning
brewpub with a reputation for their friendly bartenders), the Roxy (featuring
swing dancing on Fridays), and the Big Easy. But don't forget other theater options,
such as the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, the Boston University Shakespeare
Society, and the award winning ACME Theater Company (affectionately known as the
“home of the misfits”) in nearby Maynard. One
might not at first think of the historical Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market when
it comes to nightlife and entertainment, but think again. This neighborhood is
loaded with great pubs and clubs as well. Featuring great Irish bars, the Ames
Plow Tavern (located in the basement of the Quincy Market), as well as live and
DJ music clubs, this neighborhood is lively, especially on the weekends. Staying
in the nearby Royal Sonesta or Hotel @ MIT makes it even easier to explore this
distinctive neighborhood close up. Another treasure is nearby Café Fleuri,
which features a chocolate bar that runs the length of the restaurant, offering
chocolate delicacies you have only dared to imagine. More-->> |
