Boston Entertainment

Looking for something to amuse, thrill, or distract you while visiting Boston? The choices are endless. Maybe a Red Sox game? Or perhaps the Boston Pops or a Broadway show is more your style. Regardless, you'll find the links below helpful in finding out what to see and where to see it when you're in town.

Nothing beats a bit a of American nostalgia and sports legacy like taking in a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. Or if you miss game day a tour of of America's second oldest ball park might be in order.

The TD BankNorth Garden (aka Fleet Center & Boston Garden) is the home to both the Celtics basketball team and the Bruins hockey team.

For tickets check Ticketmaster, and if your game is sold-out, check Stub Hub.

Symphony Hall is home to both the Boston Pops and Boston Symphony Orchestra. In summertime, the action moves west to Tanglewood for outdoor aural pleasure.

Just down the street as well, the New England Conservatory offers a variety of classical concerts.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Concert Series offers one of the most unique and stunning places to enjoy a concert.

Jazz

52 floors above Boston, the Top of the Hub bar and cocktail lounge offers jazz nightly to go along with the amazing views.

Operating since 1947, Wally's Cafe is just down the street and reliably provides a wild time.

Southern soul-food and cajun specialties complement the fine Jazz heard almost nightly at Bob the Chef's a few blocks away.

Our favorite venue in Cambridge for Jazz is the Regatta Jazz Bar at The Charles Hotel.
