Throw bombs at Jupiterone.

When I went, we just did touristy stuff. Like Faneuil Hall, Freedom Trail, Little Italy, and the waterfront. We walked to all of that stuff and it was really enjoyable.

big names will come to the estate, which is a decent place (some trance, but mainly the big house names). this is kind of the opera/1150 of boston. edm parties every friday

underbar is a slightly more intimate venue (kinda like the mark in atlanta), and brings some big house guys like lee burridge and steve lawler

rise is an afterhours place (well, aftrhours in boston is only 2am-7am, but it's better than nothing haha). steve porter and danny howells have residencies there. you also get a lot of the tribal house guys from nyc playing there, like victor calderone and peter bailey. open every friday saturday and sunday
www.riseclub.us/

then there are lots of smaller venues, like the phoenix landing in cambridge which has techno every wednesday night, and middlesex lounge and the enormous room which have events every now and then.

there's also an outdoor party called Dance on the Charles,which is a big setup right on the charles river. great house and techno, and a very cool vibe! there is one coming up in august, and another is september
http://blog.soulclap.us/dotc/

overall it's a fun place to party!! and you can walk or take the subway anywhere you want, so no need to drink and drive either.

i am trying to go out to more events, so hit me up sometime and we'll check something out!

oh, and there is a cool record shop in allston called lab. great place to buy vinyls,and you can find out info about events there too

considering i'll be there with my mom and brother, this sounds like a fabulous idea!

i definitely want to check out a museum, and the Stata Center at MIT... and eat fried clams.

i (and jupiterone) currently live there. DON'T. it's awful.

all the good clubs in boston are 21+ so i'm assuming you won't have any problems there. diplo is playing at the middle east in cambridge, during october, which i am going to see, so you could always check that place out (esp. since you'll be in cambridge anyway) and see if anything cool pops up for when you're there.

beware though, for rude people, shitty streets and annoying accents! it's a decent city though.

I was there back in 2001. Fenway was cool. There was this alley with a bunch of bars. That was kinda cool. I only hit up a few clubs, Avalon & i think the other was Axis. They were right next to each other. They werent too bad just was kinda cheap/cheesy serving drinks in plastic cups. Plus there was a ton of kids there since it was 19 to get in & 21 to drink. That was Lame. Also checked out Cheers. It was nothing like the tv show. Kinda lame.

The history walk was cool. Its a route you take in the city for a nice walk. Its well marked & takes you past alot of historic buildings & places.

Oh, I can see why it's awful.


Posted by jonSun on Aug-28-2008 20:20:

Plus it was kinda cool that everywhere i went people guessed myself being from Chicago from my accent & looking Italian lol
I was like "what accent, your the one with the accent"


Posted by l�cid on Aug-28-2008 20:23:

guys i'm not looking for suggestions on places to go that are "better" than Boston. i'm specifically asking about Boston because i'm going there to visit my brother.


Posted by diesel_tron3000 on Aug-28-2008 21:05:

yeah boston sucks the only roads in the city are all one way and they all dead end


Posted by gehzumteufel on Aug-28-2008 23:25:

Hang out with Mezzir. I am sure that will be fun. lol

Boston is a pretty interesting place, feels much more European than any other city I've been to on the US East Coast.

The Museum of Fine Arts has some interesting stuff and I really am not a big art buff!

If you want to go up the Prudential Center then don't go to the museum, go to the very top floor and have a drink at the restaurant/bar. Getting a drink there is cheaper than paying for the viewpoint and it has double height floor to ceiling windows.

Boston is a great walking city. The historical things in particular that you associate with the city (Fanueil Hall, Old State House etc) are all close together well except the Museum of Fine Arts!

On the food front try L'Espalier or Hammersley's Bistro in the Back Bay part of town, decent grub...
