Boston City Break Top Tips

• For forty winks, try The Beacon Hill Hotel for style, Nine Zero for hip, cool kudos, or Bay Colony for quality no frills accommodation.
• For eating out try ‘Little Italy’ in the North End, or go for Ramen at Ken’s Noodle House on Brighton Avenue. The Bengali Café should not be missed! (Mass Ave.)
• Bukowski’s Tavern is any trendy (or literary?) type’s friendly bar of choice, with over 100 beers, both local and imported.
• For pool tables, live music, cocktails and perhaps some celebrity spotting, head to the Rack Billiards Club on 24 Clinton Street.
• For authentic 80s television nostalgia, be sure to check out Boston’s famous Cheers bar on Beacon Hill.
• Those of a consumerist disposition can bargain hunt at Filene’s basement, or for chic shopping with an edge, Charles Street is famed for antiques and pastries. Buy books in Harvard Square.
