Yeah I haven’t had much fun in Boston so far :/ I’m 23 and was hoping there would be more of a young party scene

Temptation Tuesdays at Hans in Allston!! It’s a huge miss, they have gay nights on Tuesdays. The lighting is way better then any of the other clubs, and smaller space, for actual conversation. I’m livid. No cover before 11pm. I mean what else you want sis??

all affluent safe residential neighborhoods. can you reach out to the owners and ask if they are in walking distance to "the T" (our subway system)?

They made Boston lame as fuck about 20 years ago on purpose. It's got plenty of gays.. it's not that it's that everything is lame now..

Reply to Anyone interest in seed swapping? by jules0075
Unfortunately I only have herbs and marigold seeds.
Try posting on select groups on Facebook. Maybe there are Boston equivalents but there are groups like:
-Somerville plant exchange (have to be willing to pick up in Somerville though)
-Cambridge Buy Nothing (people get rid of random stuff but I've often seen plant/gardening exchanges as well)
Best of luck

Appreciate you sharing this information.
But you really shouldn't. It's very personal and confidential information and really isn't your story to tell.

They have owners with money. Pretty sure someone that can afford a 50 million fee to have a team can figure it out

It’s not that Boston is super straight it’s that our social scene sucks overall.

Boston has a shite everything scene for the size of the city. It’s become a very stay home and next city.

Exactly. I’m a big fan of College Hockey and that has a rich 100+ year history in the area. Outside the Beanpot and maybe Hockey East finals it barely has any coverage though. I don’t see how this will any better

I’m here to add Blend and dbar to the list. They’re a few blocks distance from each other. Blend has an amazing vibe and crowd on Saturday nights

The queer scene sucks. There are orgs trying to create events and opportunities for queer people to gather though so the hope is that it’s on the up and up!
Instagrams to follow events:
- @sapphicnightss if you are femme/Nb
- @lgbtqnightlifeevents
- @gaymafiaboston does queer events at legacy (serve Thursdays has drag queens)
Other places
- Dbar in Dorchester
- Dorchester brewing co
- midway cafe in JP
- alley bar
- Jacques (drag shows @8pm and 10pm)
There’s plenty of queer people but Boston is not as supportive as it likes to think it is. Sorry you got downvoted for asking

Yeah, I guess I didn’t even realize (or remwmber) that the NWSL even left Boston so I have this question as well. There’s very little mechanism for smaller sports leagues to starve out a niche and even men’s leagues that aren’t the big four have hardly grown. Women’s leagues have an extra challenge and the big leagues aren’t exactly willing to share the market. (I could touch on the whole “NFL only invests in MLS and to keep it small” but that’s a deep wormhole)

As far as boston being “super straight” I don’t think it is. It just got over itself way ahead of other cities and normalized. That’s why it turned into “everyone is welcomed here” before queer spaces were the thing I like it but I also understand why one wouldn’t

Sorry...if it was 1997 you'd have plenty of places to go, gay or not. Place used to be pretty live but it's pretty crap now. They shut down a lot of places, drove out anything that wasn't yuppy bullshit. If I ruled the world I'd do something to change it because you'd think with the amount of colleges you could sustain it.
