Boston's pride and joy, the Boston Symphony Orchestra is based at
Symphony Hall, 301 Huntington Ave (tel 617/266-1200,), which Stravinsky
called the best auditorium in the world - with a winter season followed
by the Boston Pops concerts in May, June and on July 4. The city's
theater scene divides into the safe productions of the Theater District
and more experimental companies in Cambridge. The Bostix ticket
kiosks (tel 617/482-BTIX,) at Faneuil Hall and in Copley Square
sell tickets for all major events - as well as tours, "T"
passes, and so on - with some half-price same-day tickets. They're
open Tuesday through
Saturday 10am-6pm and Sunday 11am-4pm; Copley Square is also open
on Monday 10am-6pm. Key nightlife zones include Lansdowne Street,
an entire block of nightclubs next
to Fenway Park; Boylston Place, on the south side of Boston Common;
and Cambridge's Central Square district. Note that the city's bars
are unusually officious in demanding ID. Though not permitted to
offer cut-price happy hours, some provide free early-evening snacks
instead. The free weekly Boston Phoenix is the best source of up-to-date
listings.
