Things to do in Boston, Massachusetts (MA): The Best Nightlife
Walk the Freedom Trail the first time you visit Boston and you'll quickly get a sense of this coastal city's revolutionary spirit and history. But make sure you also explore some of Boston's fine museums (try the Isabella Stewart Gardner, featuring masterpieces displayed in their collector's mansion) and old neighborhoods (like the North End, Boston's Little Italy). You can't claim to have experienced real Boston culture, though, until you've watched a Red Sox game from the bleachers.

I simply cannot imagine enjoying a magic show more than I did Paul Gertner's. Before the show, I had watched all of Paul's appearances on Penn & Teller Fool Us on YouTube, and so I came in with pretty high expectations for the live show. Seeing Paul live blew my mind way more than I ever could have expected! He is an extremely nice person and readily involves audience members in breathtaking tricks, which is easily facilitated by the intimate (<20 people) setting. Getting to see Paul's extraordinary sleight of hand up close is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Book your tickets now!!
4. Mind Reading Confidential
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 34 reviews
In Mind Reading Confidential, Jon Stetson shares fun and intimate thoughts from the minds of his audience. He reveals stories that are outrageously funny, or even beautifully heart warming, and every demonstration is amazing. Stetson was the inspiration for the CBS hit television series “The Mentalist”. He blends the art of Mystery with the study of Psychology, the predictability of human nature and the power of intuition, with a disarming sense of humor. The result is slack jawed amazement, where the most skeptical of audience members begin to feel a renewed sense of wonder as impossibilities become realities. Mind Reading Confidential takes place in Boston's historic Omni Parker House hotel, the longest continuously operating hotel in the United States.

It was a fun-filled event in an intimate setting on a cold evening. The show was way more interactive and enjoyable than I had anticipated. Jon Stetson has a great sense of humor and knows how to keep his audience captivated.

My husband and I found Jacques by accident while waiting for an uber. (We were staying next door at The Revere.) This was our first drag show and we loved every minute of it. All of the performers were fantastic!!! And all of the other staff members were great too. (Thanks so much for giving us a table without a reservation!) We can't wait to go again. If your looking for a fun night out, this is the place.

Randomly found this dive bar while out in Boston. Visiting the area for a Red Sox game, we wanted to go out after the game. The bars in the area were packed crazy. I love the small laid back bars and went in search of places most people don't crowd to. This place was perfect! It is cash only here, but there is an ATM here if you don't carry any (like me) and just have your debit card. There was no waiting around in long lines, the bartenders were great and the people here were laid back and so was the atmosphere. I'll be back here for sure on my next trip to Boston!
