Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for The Fenway and Kenmore Square right now.
Along the fens unclaimed by the Back Bay, where Olmstead’s Emerald Necklace winds along museum row, you’ll find ball fields, the Kelleher Rose Garden, and extensive, lovingly maintained victory gardens in the shadow of Fenway Park and lively upper Boylston Street. Along "Avenue of the Arts" (aka Huntington Avenue) are Symphony Hall, New England Conservatory, Northeastern University, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and Museum College of Art. In the middle are Berklee College of Music, Boston Conservatory, and the Massachusetts Historical Society.
Around the corner from Fenway Park and girded with bars and restaurants, the city's juggernaut among nightclubs books a wide array of bands into its barnlike music hall. Tickets are $25–$45, with VIP box seats usually $15–$20 more. The Foundation Room (an upscale VIP lounge) opens to the public for an additional fee, and promises "high-class debauchery."
This multistory complex has something for everyone. Home to Cheeky Monkey Brewing Co. on the first floor, 150 games of all kinds and a bar and restaurant on the second floor, and 25 pool tables, 12 plasma screens, 16 bowling lanes, and an 800-square-foot video wall on the third floor, it's impossible to be bored.
