Party Earth Review Although there are plenty of bars around Fenway Park, none of them offer a view quite like Bleacher Bar. Tucked under the Green Monster’s bleachers, the one-time batting practice room is now a classy Sox bar with a wall-spanning window that looks directly out onto center field. Tourists and crowds of Boston University students ... more

Party Earth Review If the fist-pumping Jersey Shore crew ever relocated to Boston, odds are good The Place would be on their frizzy-haired radar. In fact, they’d fit right in amid the kids in low-cut shirts and barely-there skirts who show up for nightly DJs and large cocktails.

The restaurants in Boston might not be internationally recognized, but the dining options are surprisingly vivid, trendy, and downright cool.
Julia Child lived just across the river in the 80s, and ever since there has been an explosion of restaurants, a tidal wave of sushi joints, a stampede of steak houses, a Tora Tora Tora of taquerias…you get the idea.
Thai food and Italian restaurants also abound, and then there’s the recent influx of Indian eateries, cozy Brazilian spots, swanky cafés along Newbury Street and budget-minded dim sum in Chinatown.
Of course, there’s still plenty of chowder to be had in this unpretentious town, and a bucket of oysters is never far away either thanks to an always-vibrant Boston seafood scene. Mmmm….chowdahhhhhhhhhhhh!
