My best friend and I will be in Boston for a girls%26#39; weekend from 1/20-1/22. We have never been before, and don%26#39;t even know where to start. What%26#39;s the best part of town to stay? Where%26#39;s the best place for a cocktail? Where%26#39;s the best club? Where%26#39;s the best shopping? We%26#39;re coming from Denver and are used to hip %26amp; trendy places (don%26#39;t hate us). Any word of advice?
Two hipsters in town for the weekend

mahj - Thanks for your help. We are in our late 20%26#39;s and love to hang out at loungy martini bars, as well as hit the techno clubs. We want to stay in an area of town that%26#39;s convenient for walking around (and safe) and catching the subway. Any other help you can give would be great! Thanks!
asked the girls at work who are your age...here%26#39;s their advice...trendy bars/lounges with good martini menus include Match, 28 Degrees, and Sonsie. Also, Vox and Felt--decent drinks, bit upscale...Have fun!
mahj - Looking forward to visiting - thanks for the info!
The area that is probably most suited for you to stay would be the Copley Square area. Jurys Hotel, the Fairmont Copley Plaza and the Charlesmark Hotel, (boutique), and the Lennox, among others, are all highly recommended. Open the ';hotels'; section of Trip Advisor and use the search function with the name of the hotels for recent reviews.
another poster, ';JSBOSTON';, found a great deal at this link:
hotels.travelzoo.com/lodging-hotels/222160
Personally, I would spring for the deluxe option at $30 more.
The best clubs for you would probably be in the Fenway Park area on Landsdowne Street. Newbury Street and the Theater District also have great bars.
Try almost any restaurant in the North End for great Italian food.
All areas of Boston are accessible by subway, the ';T';, and the city is very safe for walking or for public transportation.
Hey Chica,
I am in my late 20%26#39;s too and I live in the heart of the city. So I have my share of party, trendy bars, and clubs. Let me tell you my favorite spots that won%26#39;t be touristy...I will make a Bostonian out of you before you leave to Denver.
Here are my favorite places:
Clubs: Lansdowne Street @ Fenway Park.
lot%26#39;s of clubs on Lansdowne street for any music taste. Avalon is the best place to go on Friday and Saturday nights.
Theater District area: Tremont Street. Roxy (club)hot on Friday and Saturday. Caprice, Trendy bar and night club on Fridays and Saturdays.
The alley:Plenty of other bars near the teater district via Boston Common park.
Gypsy bar (trendy bar/club). The alley also have bar and clubs in this area which is not my choice but maybe your cup of tea....the big easy, the liquor store etc. check it out, it%26#39;s near gypsy bar (2min walk).
Downtown crossing area:
club felt. Nice trendy bar, 4 floors. 1st floor: bar/restaurant, 2nd floor bar/pool tables, 3rd or 4th floor dance floor.
My favorite is 33 restaurant. Nice bar on upper and lower level no dance floor but just as fun. Go after 10:00pm.
Plenty of bars of all types on the Newbury street and Boylston street. Most bars and clubs close at 2:00am and the trains are easy to use and get you very close to these places.When you arrive a the hotel, ask the concierge for a free map of Boston to help you get around (detail large map) with train station map too. If your adventurous, Cambridge, a town next door has lots of trendy bars and clubs. Ask me any other questions...I go out alot in the city to many different places. Ms. Khaalid
as far as hotels...what is your price range? There are soooo many hotels poping up in the city like daisys and they are all competing which each other. Also there are lot%26#39;s of expensive hotels within the city but I know a handful of reasonable hotel that is great walking distance to most attractions.
Also about shopping: Iam not sure what type of shopping stores your looking for but I list the major spots. My favorite area would be Newbury street and downtown crossing.
Shops:Downtown crossing, Newbury street, Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Charles street (Beacon Hill), Copley place mall,etc.
oh yes. Try West street bar and grille on west street and club Mantra near downtown crossing. Walking distance to club Felt. Yikes, I go out way too much. Find more on www.citysearch.com, type in Boston. Good Luck and a blast chica.
I second the recommendation for Gypsy Bar, it%26#39;s one of my favorites. Saint is another ultra trendy place where it%26#39;s not uncommon to catch a glimpse of local bigshots like Tom Brady. Sanctuary is another good one with an energetic dance floor on the bottom level and a cool bar on the top floor.
