Around Town

Its Boston; I think you'll fine something.

Music! Everywhere! Along with being surrounded by great musicians you also are in Boston. What more is there to say? Many historical sites and delicious restaurants. Fenway Park is also walking distance away.

Jam out with friends, walk on the Charles.... ITS BOSTON! Have fun!

Berklee is in the center of a very busy South End Boston area. Fenway park is nearby, as well as Kenmore Square, Newbury Street, the beautiful Commonwealth Avenue, the shops on Boylston Street, etc. If you want to catch a game, head on over to Fenway to watch the Red Sox, or take the green line T to Government Center to watch the Celtics or the Bruins. If you're into shopping, Newbury Street is like the Rodeo Drive of Boston. Some of the best stores, restaurants, hair salons, and underground clothing shops are living on that street. Check out places like Charlie's Steakhouse, Trident Bookstore, Newbury Comics, Johnny Cupcakes, Kashmir Indian Restaurant, Bostone Pizza, and Upper Crust Pizza - to name a few. The Prudential Center sits on Boylston street, just across from the biggest Apple Store in America. The Pru is a gorgeous mall with great restaurants like PF Changs, The Cheesecake Factory, and California Pizza Kitchen. You can also book Duck Tours at the Pru for a fun way to tour Boston. Boylston Street also has great restaurants on it. Definitely check out Chili Duck for some great Thai food. Kenmore Square and Coolidge Corner both have really great theaters. Regal Theater at Kenmore Square houses well-known films while Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline houses Indie films and underground documentaries. Also, Berklee has many shows for local artists, students, and touring artists at the Berklee Performance Center and the Red Room at Cafe 939 on Boylston. The options are endless in a city like Boston. You can go exploring and find something new to do every day.

Boston is a great city with a lot of things to do. Every weekend there is bands playing somewhere, local shows, and a few larger venues where more popular bands come to play.

Attend concerts held by students, chill with friends, which you'll make pretty quickly if you put yourself out there, go eat, jam out with other musicians, or just sit and write music.

Sooooooo many great concerts in the metro area, and Berklee students get discounts tickets to some of them! Berklee students also have FREE access to the Fine Arts Museum, which is lovely. When the weather is nice, there are beautiful bike trails and parks for recreational fun. And the beach is only 45 minutes away. There are almost endless options for dancing and nightlife to suit your tastes!

There are so many things around! There are plenty of theaters, both movie and play theaters, as well as places such as bowling allies, Fenway Park is right there, and festivals are happening a lot of the time, as well.

Your'e in Boston! Go enjoy the city! You can go to the park or one of the many museums around the city or have a jam session or you can get dinner in the North End (my favorite). There are tuns of jazz clubs around the city and there is always a show you can see, it could be at Sculler's Jazz Club or at New England Conservatory, but there is always some sort of musical entertainment going on in the city on any given night. Berklee is great and offers this Symphony Card for $3 and you can go to Symphony Hall and see performances by the Boston Symphony Orchestra for free with it once a week! There are plenty of things to do for fun.

There are concerts held at the BPC and the cafe, as well as discounts available for going to concerts away from Berklee. There are also activities held every now and then where you simply can just hang out and have fun or jam out.
