TEA TIME

The historic events of December 16, 1773 once again get their due when the Old South Meeting House (refer to listing, page 49) and the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum (refer to listing, page 43) team up for the 246th anniversary Boston Tea Party Reenactment. On December 16 at 6:30 p.m., head to the Old South Meeting House on the Freedom Trail for the ticketed “Meeting of The Body of the People,” a spirted debate on the tea tax that mirrors the one that took place in its halls more than two centuries ago. Free events follow, including a fife and drum corps-led procession to the waterfront at 7:30 p.m. and a re-creation of the tea toss into Boston Harbor at 8:30 p.m. Tickets for the indoor debate sell out, so grab them up quickly before they disappear like those bygone aromatic leaves into the murky depths.

CLAMOR ON CAUSEWAY

The still-growing Hub on Causeway development adjacent to TD Garden recently welcomed its latest additions with the debut of Guy Fieri’s Tequila Cocina (110 Causeway St., 617-896-5222, guyscocina.com, pictured)—a lively new Mexican joint featuring bold, street food-inspired dishes created by the famed television personality/chef—which is part of the city’s newest music venue, Big Night Live (refer to listing, page 16), a concert hall that also boasts a state-of-the-art private event space dubbed Studio B. Some of the biggest acts in a variety of genres—from 1980s new wave hit-makers The Fixx (December 8) to local post-punk legends the Pixies (December 11)—are already booked at the multi-level entertainment complex, which should only add more excitement to an already vibrant West End scene.

BIENVENUE À BOSTON! Boston, Massachusetts est la ville la plus grande dans la Nouvelle-Angleterre. Fondée en 1630, Boston est l’une des plus anciennes villes des États-Unis et a été la scène de nombreux événements clés pendant la Révolution américaine, la Boston Tea Party, la Chevauchée de Paul Revere et la bataille de Bunker Hill. Pourtant, son histoire est juste une des nombreuses raisons pour lesquelles plus de 19 millions de visiteurs voyagent ici chaque année. Aujourd’hui Boston est connue pour ses collèges et universités de renommée mondiale, des équipements culturels exceptionnels, des institutions médicales supérieurs des industries de haute technologie et de la biotechnologie en plein croissance. La meilleure façon d’explorer Boston est tout simplement de marcher. La ville est souvent dénommée comme une « ville de quartiers », et chacun d’eux a sa propre personnalité distincte mieux découverte à pied. Back Bay, le quartier le plus élégant de Boston, est un charmant mélange d’ancien et de nouveau, le foyer de monuments historiques importants tels que la Bibliothèque Boston Public, Copley Square, la rue branchée Newbury Street, les deux plus hauts bâtiments-200 Clarendon (anciennement la tour John Hancock ) et le Prudential Building - et deux des plus belles artères résidentielles de l’Amérique, Commonwealth Avenue et Marlborough Street. 12

Massachusetts State House

Beacon Hill MAP PAGE 32 | F10 Strolling along Beacon Hill’s picturesque gas-lit streets, brick sidewalks and Federal-style row houses, it’s not uncommon to feel as though you’ve traveled back in time. Both eminently posh and utterly accommodating, this area has borne witness to much of the city’s storied past. The State House—with its gleaming gold dome—sits on the peak of the hill where the beacon for which the district was named used to reside. In this neighborhood, visitors can also find the African Meeting House, which holds the Museum of African American History, as well as the Bull and Finch Pub, the inspiration for the popular TV show, “Cheers.” Charles Street, located at the flat of the hill, is lined with boutiques, restaurants, cafes and charming hotels. Locals descend ON THE the hill daily to enjoy all that Charles Street Green Line to Park St. Red Line to Park St., has to offer, adding to Charles St. the feeling of smallBlue Line to Bowdoin town charm. 38

PANORAMA

Back Bay MAP PAGE 32 | G9 Exquisite architecture and world-class retailers are plentiful in Boston’s most well-known neighborhood. The Victorian brick and brownstone residences that line the streets are not only beautiful, they’re widely regarded as the best-preserved examples of 19th-century urban design in the United States. Newbury and Boylston streets, where luxury shops vie for space amidst outstanding restaurants, welcome visitors and residents alike. Back Bay is also home to the iconic Prudential Tower, Trinity Church, Boston Public Library, the John Hancock Tower and two sprawling shopping malls connected by a climatecontrolled bridge. You’ll also find standout salons, spas, antique shops and galleries throughout. Nightlife thrives in Back Bay as ON THE well, where chic hotel bars, world-class Orange Line to Back Bay Green Line to Arlingrestaurants and ton, Copley or Hynes swanky lounges Convention Center abound.

North End

Downtown Crossing

MAP PAGE 33 | E12

MAP PAGE 32 & 33 | F–G11

Italian culture reigns in the North End, Boston’s oldest and busiest neighborhood. The sweet scent of fresh cannoli rises from countless Italian bakeries that populate this district’s narrow cobblestone streets, while the veritable buffet of dining choices will have you wishing there were more than three meals to enjoy in a day. Recently, clothing and home decor boutiques have been setting up shop here, making the North End an even more diverse and desirable destination. Don’t even try to find a parking space—it’s best to hop on the T or walk. If you happen to be strolling the Freedom Trail, you’ll discover three of the North End’s most important historical sites: The Paul Revere House, Copp’s Hill Burying Ground and the Old North Church. Summertime brings people into the streets to celebrate various ON THE Italian feasts with Orange Line or music, socializing Green Line to and, of course, Haymarket sensational food.

In the heart of Boston, Downtown Crossing is where it’s happening. Enjoy a variety of exciting retailers, including a PAUL bakery, GAP Factory store, flagship Roche Bros. supermarket and a Primark department store.
