Lansdowne Street

Feeding all the nightly beings with a series of clubs, bars and gaming rooms, Lansdowne Street is undoubtedly the best night destination of Boston. Apart from the bars, clubs, gaming rooms the street also has many restaurants. Some of the places on the Lansdowne Street, which are worth visiting are Jillian's Boston, Avalon, Boston Billiard Club, Bill's Bar, Copperfield's Bar and Down Under Pub and Beer Works.

The Vilna Shul

Located on Beacon Hill, the cornerstone for The Vilna Shul was formed by an immigrant Jewish congregation in 1919. This historical synagogue resumed activity and formed its learning center soon after the last member of the congregation left in 1985. Today, this community center and synagogue features an open environment, inviting anyone and everyone who is interested in learning about Jewish culture to do so via their myriad programs and activities. Youth-oriented learning is also encouraged here. The Vilna Shul provides guided tours Wednesday through Friday, at 1p and 3p. Group tours are also available and can be booked via prior appointment. 

Langone Park is located immediately on top of the area which held the molasses tank, which exploded and killed eleven people in the famous incident now called Boston Molasses Flood Disaster in 1919. The park has a baseball diamond, playground and bocci courts. To its east end is the Puopolo Park at the entrance of which is a small plaque commemorating the disaster. Close to the harbor, the park is open from dawn to dusk.

Granary Burying Ground

Granary Burying Ground, a historic cemetery established in 1660, is the final resting place of many notable figures of the American Revolution. Besides famous patriots such as Samuel Adams and Paul Revere, the graves of the Boston Massacre victims (and Elizabeth "Mother" Goose herself) are among the more renowned in the graveyard. Located on the Freedom Trail across from the Park Street Church, this cemetery is a piece of Boston's varied history, and worth a visit. Wander the haphazard rows and see if you can recognize some of the thousands of names.
