Drinks & Nightlife
My favorite bar in Boston. Upscale place, every food and drink item I've tried here has been a hit. Monday Tacos (unlimited tacos for $9) is an incredible deal! Make reservation a couple days in advance if going on weekends.

Very affordable Vietnamese food, probably the best in downtown Boston (for the best in the Boston area, check out Saigon One in Dorchester. For adventurous eaters, this place has authentic Viet dishes you may not see at typical Viet places (my roommate swears by the Pig Blood soup).

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the Boston area - the only downside is it's in Dorchester, not in the immediate downtown area so may not be convenient for tourists. If you want very good authentic Viet food, this place is worth it. Get the Caramelized Pork / Fish.
