Beantown or Bust for the Weekend

October 12, 2012 2:20 pm ET

Boston is home to an extraordinary history with roots dating back to our Nations inception.  But when you look past Harvard Square, and Beacon Hill, and the charming Northeast harbor town goes to sleep, the real Boston comes to life.  Boston.com has helped to corral your excitement with Boston’s best Hangouts and Hot Spots.  Here are three of our favorites to turn a good weekend, into a great weekend:

1. Get Ready- Booking a weekend trip can be difficult when you have so many hotel options. Boston.com makes it simple, the Mandarin Oriental.  If you don’t want to pay the high fees for the luxury rooms make sure to still stop by and indulge in their first class spa.  The relaxing massages will get you prepared for a night on the town.
2. Get Set- Now that you’re all relaxed start your night on the town with some light drinks.  Make sure to head over to Fort Point bar where the ice is hand chipped and the drinks feature fresh picked herbs and exotic liqueurs.  No need to be bothered with a lengthy drink list, because there are no drink lists at all! The well trained bartenders improvise ever drink.
3. Go- For an exciting an energetic evening on the town Boston.com recommends a trip to Orchid.  Not only will you be able to eat your fill of Asian-inspired food, but you’ll be able to dance the night away.
