THE BEST OF BOSTAWESOME: 2009 (and on...)

THURSDAY NIGHTS AT THE ICA
Every Thursday night at the ICA (map) is free entry after 5PM 'till close. This is an amazing opportunity to see some of the best contemporary art on display at one of Boston's best examples of contemporary architecture. You would have to be crazy to not stop in every couple months on this great night to check out the new exhibitions.

THE MIDDLESEX LOUNGE
The Middlesex Lounge (map) constantly hosts a number of cover free nights every week. Heartthrob, Make It New, YoYoYo Wednesdays, and monthly Bodega Girls shows: who wouldn't want to frequent this ultra cool bar?

MOVIES AND MUSIC ON THE ESPLANADE
A summer specific attraction but one of the best that Boston has to offer. Every Friday in the summertime, a movie is played on a large projector screen outside; perfect for getting together with friends on a blanket and watching some family friendly film. A number of live musical acts also visit the Hatchshell and put on free performances for Bostonites (Bostoneers?). This past year featured the Beach Boys, oh yea.

THE GOOD LIFE
The Good Life (map) is another favorite of ours over at BOSTawesome. Many many great dj nights (our friends over at drinkmusik had a great year there) and their decor is killer, featuring some choice work by kngee and enamel kingdom.

MUSIC AND ART
Boston has a huge spectrum of artists, musicians and dj's. Here at BOSTawesome, we like to try to keep up with only the latest but with so much going on we inevitably end up missing out on some great FREE events. If you would like to promote any of your events, we would be happy to post it here at BOSTawesome and get the word out (email here or here). Let's just make sure its awesome and, as always, FREE!! Here's to another affordable year!
