Boston Insider Tip: Who Lives Downtown?
Unlike many American cities where the downtown business districts empty out at 5pm as everyone heads home to the suburbs, Boston's downtown neighborhood is home a sizeable number of residents - and the number keeps growing as construction of high-rise residential towers races to meet the housing demands of people who want to live here.
So if you're staying in a hotel in this part of the city, enjoy the amenities that residents enjoy: a vibrant entertainment scene in the many theaters and concert venues, fantastic restaurants and wine bars, the Boston Harbor waterfront just 5 minutes away on foot (and yes, you can walk everywhere in this super-convenient neighborhood), Bruins and Celtics games at nearby TD Garden, weekend dim sum in Chinatown, and tennis courts and impromptu soccer games on Boston Common.
