Happy Hour at it's Best: Back Bay Social Club



If you have yet to make your way to the Back Bay Social Club, we suggest you try them out. Just 8 months since their opening, they already have a large group of dedicated regulars who talk up the place just as much as they do. Their burger is arguably one of the best in town, and the Harvey Wallbanger is very popular amongst the young crowd of professionals: Variation Rain Vodka, Prosecco, Fresh Orange Juice & Gallian.

If you feel like getting a bit more rowdy then your usual after work scene, head downstairs to the chic lounge. The ambiance is a bit old Hollywood. With the dark lighting and strong drinks, Back Bay Social Club makes any evening feel like a Saturday night out.

HINT: With Spring around the corner, the front glass walls open and create the perfect outdoor spot for cocktails, bites, & people watching.

ZUZU - Dance on Tuesday



7 days a week, ZuZu always promises a good time. With live music and DJ's from far and wide, an eclectic and fun crowd will never disappoint. They serve an array of great cocktails, and we suggest trying the ZuZu PuPu Platter to start off the night right: Grape leaves, Spinach Dumplings, Empanadas, Brik, Kibbeh Mishi, with choice of Chicken, Lamb, or beef kababs. Hummus, baba ganooj, harissa $ whipped garlic.

HINT: ZuZu hosts possibly the best dance party in Boston every Tuesday evening from 9:00PM on! You are in Cambridge, so $2.00 PBR's are always on the menu.

Neighborhood Watch - Ice Skating, Coffee & Art in Kendall Square!



Most Bostonians have ice-skated and fallen on The Boston Commons Frog Pond at some point in their lives. However more recently, we discovered Kendall Squares Community Ice-Skating Rink! Although the rink is not quite as large as the Frog Pond, we prefer Kendall's rink for several reasons. The rink is less crowded, the rental skates are new, and the music is far better!

When your fingers are numb, warm up at Voltage Coffee & Art. Just a short walk from the rink, Voltage offers a unique and hip experience. From tea sandwiches, to ants on a log, they serve the best in little bites. Voltage offers 9 varieties of Exotic Latte Flavors. Try the Madame X: Earl Grey infused White Chocolate Ganache. Hope you enjoy these hidden gems, we certainly did minus taking a spill on the ice:)

HINT: Did we mention the Art Gallery at Voltage is kick-ass?
