DK Travel : Boston

“The Hub,” “Beantown,” “Baaahstin” – call it what you will, New England’s largest city exists to be explored. Its colonial-era architecture, vibrant seafaring heritage, and irrepressible Yankee character make it one of the country’s most distinctive locales. Yet for all its big-city amenities – world-class restaurants, museums, and shops – Boston remains surprisingly compact and eminently walkable.

Buddha’s Delight

Vegan food in the tradition of Chinese and Vietnamese temple cuisine wins over even the most devoted of carnivores.

Northern Indian dishes predominate at Bukhara. There is a particularly wide selection of lamb dishes and rich biryanis , and Tandoor-roasted meats are a specialty. Gets extremely busy at lunch time.
Bukowski Tavern

A beer drinker’s paradise, Bukowski counts 100 varieties of suds. Its primary patrons are a professional crowd during the day and young hipsters at night.
Bunker Hill Monument

Buzz Party @ Club Europa

This Saturday party at Club Europa is quickly becoming the hottest gay club night in town for the post-grad twentysomething crowd. Dressing down is the order at Buzz, where hard-bodied studs crowd the bi-level dancefloors for high-energy dance. Should you wish to take a break, there are comfortable multiple lounge areas all over the club, a billiard room, and bars on each side of every room.
Buzzards Bay Old Buzzards Lager

A sweet, fruity, Export-style lager; available in bottles at most agency liquor stores.
Café 300

Located next to an art gallery in the central atrium of an artists’ studio building, Café 300 is a magnet for architects and artists. They come for the laid-back vibe, pasta of the day, and tasty sandwich combos like grilled eggplant, tomato, basil, and mozzarella.
Café Pamplona

Pamplona evokes the beatnik cafés of the 50s. Smokers sit outside on the sidewalk terrace while tobacco-free hipsters favor the low-ceilinged basement room. There’s a Basque influence to the menu and the coffee is as dense and dark as a Baudelaire poem.
