Was n’t it fun take on Big City for a trivial while , Boston ? For the last two age – ever since the MBTA deigned to offer later - nighttime weekend hours – we ’ve palpate like large kids : able-bodied to go where we want and not have to worry about pass money on a cab late at Nox . unluckily , we grew too close to the feeling . The MBTA lately voted to do away with late - nighttime service on Fridays and Saturdays beginning March 18th . And so , afterward this calendar week , we ’ll be back to Netflix and chilling . But before we all sour into curfew - hampered pumpkins , rent ’s take shape for a last hooray . stumble up one of these tardy - nighttime spots as you regret the solar day you decided to be in Boston over NYC .
Grab some late-night ramen atUNI
T hold back : Hynes Convention Center ( Green Line)For class , those with a yen have been gathering well before the 11 pm late - dark ramen lead off time at UNI to nab a bowl of the revered $ 14 softwood . The special happens every Thursday , Friday , and Saturday night , and goes till 1:30am . Do n’t let the eatery ’s late reinvention have any muddiness : the ramen is by all odds still there . So round off up the savvy troop for one last duck bun and Green Line hurrah .
Embrace the pathos inTop of the Hub’s jazz lounge
T stop : Copley Square ( Green Line)You’re about to do something you might never do again : room the T past 12:30am . Why not do something else you ’d otherwise never do and make like a holidaymaker ? The Lounge at Top of the Hub features lively jazz every night and quell open until 1 am . The food menu is astonishingly extensive ( lobster bisque and NY strip show steak ? Why not ! ) , with the Scotch list being quite robust , as well .
Rediscover your #filmnerd cred atCoolidge After Midnite
T stop : Coolidge Corner ( Green Line)This Coolidge Corner Theatre place is undoubtedly something to discipline out before March 18th . The venerate locus has been offering up wackadoodle previous - night showings on Friday and Saturday nights for more than a decade now , be it an obscure horror moving-picture show or just some wild ' LXX arthouse flick that has lento obtained cult position . And yes , it ’s definitely worth your time .
Forgo McDonald’s for the late-night burger atBoston Chops
T cease : Union Park ( Silver Line)Boston Chops does n’t offer a late - night computer menu per se , but its exclusive legal community offering alone is worth the delayed Silver Line departure : a $ 6 cheeseburger with all the classic fixins ( bacon , lettuce , tomato , caramelise Allium cepa , pickles , secret sauce ) , attach to by those frites . There ’s even a $ 3 blastoff of Fernet … if you ’re into that .
Hit the road.Tavern Road.
thyroxine stop : Courthouse ( Silver Line)We like to think Tavern Road barrack others to up their late - night game when it bring in those post-11pm foie gras empanadas … and maybe the Pisces tacos , porchetta flatbread , and aioli burger , too . Of naturally , while all are grand late - dark bit , we keep returning to those fry potatoes and fried chickpea sting .
Get jazzy atWally’s CafeandThe Beehive
tetraiodothyronine stop : Back Bay post ( Orange Line)For old age , you were overjealous of your South End counterparts hang at Wally ’s Cafe until 2 am every damn night . Then you started hopping off the Orange Line and joining them . Then , well , the MBTA decided to take that off . But before you get stabby , get flashy one last fourth dimension . And while you ’re at it , you might as well stroll over to The Beehive for a little extra live music , also going until 2 am .
Remind yourself Chinatown doesn’t totally suck
thymine stop : South Station ( Red Line)There really is nothing not to love about Chinatown ( unless you ’re a vegan ) , but the place succeed special honour for having long saved the city from its early - to - bed self . Wander the streets at 2:01am and you ’ll shake your head at how much remains assailable . Chau Chow City and Peach Farm are two faves ( inquire for “ inhuman tea ” and see what happens ) . And do n’t forget South Street Diner , one of the city ’s rare , greasy front-runner that ’s undecided 24 hour .
Make your move on the roof ofTisch Library
MT stop : Davis Square ( Red Line)Sure , there ’s in all likelihood no cheesier Tufts University date play than taking a potential paramour up to the depository library ceiling at night to see the city skyline . BUT : the rooftop is also open to anyone uncoerced to mount the outdoor stairs . And it ’s in reality kind of cool . Also … free !
Burrow into bivalves atRussell House TavernandState Street Provisions
T end : Harvard Square ( Red Line ) and Aquarium Station ( Blue Line)Anyone up for late - Nox one - buck shit ? Both Russell Tavern House and State Street Provisions declare oneself up $ 1 oysters starting at 11 pm , a far cry from the boxed mac & cheeseflower you ’re used to eating after an early T ride home .
