Came and saw the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra (5/5)!!! They were incredible. Free for Harvard students and $10 tickets with student ID. Sanders theatre is inside the MEMORIAL HALL which is a stunning building. Bathrooms in the downstairs area. Didn't appear to be very handicap friendly. If you will need special assistance perhaps call ahead. The downstairs area had a LOT of seating and looked like a cool place to do some work.

During my time in Boston, I have had the good fortune of attending concerts and lectures at Sander's Theater. It's a wonderful venue in the middle of Harvard Square. The balcony offers surprisingly good views/acoustics. There are many other local venues where coming later than planned dooms you to an obstructed view.

Club Passim - Passim burger with Thyme fries

I'd been here for lunch once or twice over 20 years ago, never for a show. Funky set up with long…read morerows of tables. There are nice side tables but the show was almost sold out by the time I learned about the show and was able to purchase tickets. Fun time, would go again.

Great experience here seeing Puerto Rican cuatro player Fabiola Mendez. The space opens at 7 for…read more8pm shows and you can order drinks and food from a limited, but tasty menu. We opted for their Passim burger with thyme fries on a brioche bun which exceeded my expectations for a place that's primarily a music venue. I thought the food would be more of an afterthought but it was equivalent to a casual bistro or gastropub. We sat right in the front row which was amazing for the experience and pics but I would recommend maybe bringing some ear protection if you sit this close. Our show was supposedly sold out but we lucked out that the folks seated next to us didn't show- otherwise I could see that one would be really packed in here as the seating is extremely close together. The performance was amazing! We absolutely loved the show and the intimate vibes. I also really appreciated that Fabiola took some time to explain her instrument, some Puerto Rican history and her experience growing up playing a folk instrument. She graduated from Berklee in 2018 and also brought in a Cuban tres player named Olivia Soler Espinosa in the latter part of her performance who is currently studying at Berklee. Another cool aspect of this place was the mixed ages. There was a good representation of older folks who looked like they have been coming to Passim since the 60s as well as younger folks in their 20s and 30s as well as folks in between. Anyone should feel welcome here.

The place is for real. A family-run business, for the old times' sake. They don't smile the fake…read moresmiles here, keeping up the traditional Somerville's stance of "no bs here". Yet, you can meet an 80+ yo Columbian here, and discuss the Russian republican history of XV-s century. Political correctness is not present, and the free speech is tolerated, in line with a great Boston's tradition of a pubs as a place of free thought, that brought us American Revolution. I had a couple of shows there, for my daughter's band from JP, with a gang of JP girls descending on PA's local regulars, dancing, jumping, singing! They all loved the real nitty-gritty atmosphere, with a sour dower Finn in one corner, and a quiet semi-crazy local talking to his own shadow in the corner, as local tough ladies joke with a charming Italian-American lady bartender that takes no bs from anyone. Irish, Portuguese, Russian, English are all spoken here. As well as Chinese and Estonian! But is the local drinking public that is there all the time. Union Square, a symbol of unity between Cambridge and Somerville, is a place for all, just like good old USA. Besides the glitter of the fine establishments, there is also a real place, where you can speak and listen if you want to, despite the fact that some speeches can be offensive or loud. A true genuine American bar, a dinosaur and a whale. Cash-only miracle!

Bartender and staff are great, music is really good local bands as…read morewell. I went last Friday night and it wasn't too busy, a good retreat from The Harp next door.
