Best Activities You Wouldn't Think To Do In Boston
Did you know that the Boston Beer Company in Jamaica Plain is the largest American-owned brewery? You would if you've ever been on a Samuel Adams Brewery Tour. For a nominal charitable donation, you can tour their facility and sample a bevy of different brews. It's fun for the whole family (as long as your whole family is over 21)!
In a city known for its music scene, its bars, and its rich Irish heritage, there's one place offering a unique combination of the three. Just off the Red Line in Davis Square is a bar known to many locals but not so much to tourists. Offering live traditional Irish music seven nights a week, The Burren also serves up a classic bar food menu and one of the best pints of Guinness you'll find anywhere in the city.
Taste what it's like to be a real chef. Prepare recipes in a hands-on environment with help from professionally trained chef instructors. You'll blanch, you'll blend and you'll baste your way to culinary perfection as you cook restaurant quality meals in a real restaurant-style kitchen. It's like being Bobby Flay, but without all the fame and notoriety.
Remember that ridiculously embarrassing coffee mug you painted for your parent when you were a kid that they still keep displayed on a shelf? Well, now you can make up for that mistake. Channel your inner child with a trip down memory lane. And by memory lane I mean Beacon Street. Paint all types of pre-made pottery like plates, bowls, vases, and drink a glass of wine while you do it. Why not? You're an adult now. You can do what you want.
There are theaters, and there are theatres. The Brattle is the latter. There's no 3-D, no Dolby Digital Surround Sound, and no stadium seating. It's just a quaint, quirky, charming movie heaven tucked into a back street in Harvard Square. From classic films, to foreign flicks, to art-house specials, the Brattle is the ultimate old-school theatre experience.
