I moved to Boston recently and am looking for fun things to do. I know this topic is too general. So, are there online/published guides with recommendations/listings? Like places, clubs, restaurants, exhibitions, etc...

Or just suggest something fun off the top of your head :) thanks

I'm pretty sure the print copies are still free too

ah, finally, a serious suggestion :) thank you sir/mam

I'm a dude, I use the matron because barely anyone does.

Check my other 2 links I edited in, Good Times is just that, and F1 Boston is the ******.

If you are into film, check out the Kendall Sq. Cinema in Cambridge... that's where all the indie/festival/foreign films get shown. Oh and if the Rocky Horror Picture Show is still showing every week at midnight in Harvard Sq, you should check that out too, if only for the freak show in attendance.

thanks, but I'm not really into the cinema scene [no pun intended] :) I liked F1 racing but it was too quick...

Did you move to Boston due to that Augustana song?

There are a lot of things to do there.

Friend at work did it here and loved it. I on the other hand got the nerve to jump elsewhere in '99, and a week before the date a plane with 11 jumpers went down. No thx :)

Some of my former coworkers used to *love* this place... I mean you-could-find-them-there-every-weekend loved it. Never got into it so never went myself, but I hear the ghost town setup is pretty fvckin cool.

Lookup the Boston Phoenix newspaper thingie that you can find at every street corner here. Usually has a bunch of events coming up that week, some restaurant reviews and stuff like that.

As in "car" and "park"? Those words don't contain that letter, sorry :p
