Every Friday at Jacob Wirth's in Chinatown there is a live piano singalong with pianist Mel Stiller. He's been performing at Jacob Wirth's since 1988 and plays from 8pm-midnight. It's a lot of fun with a group of friends, a table, and some good German food and beer.
A new site called PadMatcher is exclusive to Boston and doesn't have any duplicate listings (doesn't scrape from Craigslist). It's pretty easy to navigate and completely free. You can find roommates on there as well. The address for the website is padmatcher.com.
The 3rd Sunday of every month from April to October there is a MIT Flea Market with a ton of old electronics, gadgets, and unique items for pretty good prices. It's a bunch of MIT-type people but you can get some great finds. You can find out more information at http://www.mitflea.com
Boston Harbor Mini Speedboats does 1.5 hour tours around Boston harbor where you get to control your own 2 person speedboat at your own speed. They go to the JFK Library, Castle Island, Tea Party Museum, Zakim Bridge, USS Constitution, and more for only $140. It's a lot of fun for a sunny afternoon and gives you the chance to get out on the open water of Boston Harbor.
In Boston you only get a few months out of the year to truly enjoy the weather before it gets back to sleet, rain, snow, and clouds. With time so limited you need to make the best if it and enjoy the great outdoors. Here are 5 awesome free activities that you can do outside in Boston during the summer months.
Right on Boylston St near Prudential/Lord and Taylor is Cigar Masters. It's a great, relatively subdued and hidden place to go and enjoy a cigar while having a drink. They have a big selection of cigars for aficionados and beginners alike. Although they don't have a liquor license you can enjoy a cold beer or wine with your cigar as well.
Every Monday at 6pm, Lululemon hosts a run club event at their store in the Prudential Center. People meet up and go for a 3-8 mile run then go to the Back Bay Social Club afterwards for free appetizers, drinks, and food.
Last year Boston debuted it's bike-sharing program called Hubway. If you're looking to get into commuting by bike or just want to get around the city it's a good deal. For $70/year you can get unlimited rides under 30min, or for $5 you can get a 24-hour membership. There are over 400 bikes in the system now all over Boston and the system will be expanding to over 1,000 total bikes and including Brookline, Cambridge, and Somerville. More information is at http://www.thehubway.com
If you're headed downtown for the night and absolutely need your car you can park at the Post Office Square garage for $9 as long as you're in after 4pm and out by 8am.
The biggest issue for any city dweller in the summer is how to beat the heat. Public pools are crowded, the esplanade along the charles is packed, and there’s no real relief if you don’t have a car to escape the city. Luckily there are 5 really solid beaches that are easily reachable by using the MBTA.
If you are looking to go downtown and the nearest T stop to you has commuter rail service (Ruggles, Back Bay, Etc), it's often significantly quicker and easier to just jump on the commuter rail. The trains break down less often, they go faster, and even though it's the same price as the T for inter-city travel they sometimes don't even collect the fares.
Moving companies like UHaul, Penske, and Ryder make a lot of money off local trips. To save money do a one-way trip. For example with Penske a one-way trip with a pick-up at the Home Depot in Medford and a drop-off two days later at the home depot in Roxbury is 60% cheaper than a local rental returned to the same location.
If you have a Boston Public Library Card you can rent video games for free. Their selection isn't the largest, and you often have to reserve and wait a little while, but the fact that it's free is awesome. They have PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii games and you can view the selections http://www.bpl.org/catalogs/
Whether you’re a long-time resident or just stopping by for a Sox game, the Fenway (or specifically West Fens) is a great place to get a bite to eat. The area has been undergoing a big transition in the past 10 years as the big developers have moved in and more high-end shops have opened.
With the opening of 1330 Boylston, Landmark Square, and Trilogy there has been ample space created for fantastic new restaurants and here is a quick rundown of the best
The Minuteman Bikeway goes along the Revolutionary Trail from Cambridge to Bedford. It's an 11 mile paved bike trail that connects right at the Alewife MBTA station and is perfect for an afternoon bike ride. The trail starts in Cambridge and goes through Arlington, Lexington, and ends in Bedford.
If you're a Northeastern Alumni and still in the Boston area the best gym deal is becoming a member of the Marino Center. It's $435 for a full year and includes the Marino Center, Cabot, and the Badger & Rosen Center. At a monthly cost of $36 averaged it's less than half the cost of BSC or any other Boston Gym.
Every Sunday when the weather is nice Memorial Drive is closed in Cambridge. It provides a great open walking, biking, and jogging area right along the Charles River. The closures start the last Sunday in April and end the 2nd Sunday of November. The time of the closures are 11:00am until 7:00pm.
