Your post appears to be one of a number of commonly asked questions about the port city of Boston. Anyway, Royale is fine if you're just trying to get drunk and dance and hookup. The Grand is more of the same as Royale but more expensive and a stricter dress code. Bijou is fine if you're into house music, the last few times I've been to Bijou the crowd was mostly freshly 21 people. Legacy is under Royale and a pretty great queer club if that's you're thing. Good Life, Phoenix Landing, Middlesex, and The Lower Level are all great for underground shows if that's your thing. The vibes at those 4 places are all pretty good. Good Life is my favorite and they open back up this weekend. If you're just looking to get trashed and don't care what you dance to or who you dance around, any of the bars around Haymarket/Faneuil Hall will do. Ned Devine's, Hennessey's, Hong Kong ($1 chicken sticks!), Sissy K's, Coogan's. I think there's a few more I'm missing but those are the big ones. Also, I can't believe I forgot this, but if you're into top 40 or hip hop, Venu, Cure, Icon, and Hava are places to go if you're looking for something a little nicer/fancier/more upscale than what the Faneuil Hall/Haymarket bars and clubs offer. I also forgot about Memoire because it's in the casino but frankly I don't really know anyone who goes to Memoire regularly. It's more of the same stuff they play at the Grand and Royale. Now I think I've named them all. Also, please check the sidebar for visitor information.

They have full jurisdiction in the 175 towns and cities that make up the the MBTA service area, on and off MBTA property. I have seen them pull cars over for traffic infractions in Boston.

That said they sleep. Made a food app delivery to there HQ, walked in and the Desk Sgt was sound asleep, sitting up in his chair, with arms crossed. I stood there for a few minutes waiting for customer to come to lobby. He never woke up

It's a great way to have an afternoon/evening workout. I also think it's a shame that people get so focused on needing to go to a ski mountain 2 hours away and force themselves to spend 8 hours on the slopes. Going to the small local places is great way to work on your turns and get some exercise and outside time because you never feel obligated to spend more than 90 minutes if you're not having a good time.

So, they got 100 million to fix slow zones. They spent 1 million to collect and analyze data for internal purposes, like what they should fix first. They spent another 100k to make that data accessible to the public. I don't see the problem. * these are made up numbers but the orders of magnitude are the point - fixing the slow zones is gonna cost waaaaay more than just making a dashboard, and collecting the data in the first place as already necessary as a prerequisite for actually fixing stuff.

Really cool that we don't have any kind of subway platform barriers that could stop something like this from happening, especially considering someone died on the third rail not even a week ago. Really would be a shame if we invested a bit in public transit to prevent stuff like this from happening

I live very close to JFK library. It’s adjacent to our little Saigon if you enjoy Vietnamese food I recommend pho Le for pho and Ba Le for bang mi. If the weather is nice there is a pleasant beach along the harbor walk, it’s the best place to find sea glass if you want to take a souvenir home. The commuter rail will get you to Salem cheaper and likely faster than a rental car FYI. Enjoy your trip.
