What's there to do in Boston on a Sunday Evening?

On a Sunday you'll want to go where the people are. Typically the busy locations are the North End, or the bar scenes. Depending upon what time you come in, museums might be closed. It is Sunday after all and many of them have different or early hours on Sundays. You should call ahead or look up hours online. Some museums are open but normally not past 9. If you're looking to sit down to dinner and shop then the North End and Quincy Market/Haymarket will be the best place for you. If you want to hang out and get some drinks while watching the game that is a good place too. Union Oyster House and Durgin Park are must visits for anyone who is into history. Otherwise there are several Italian places nearby. (Union Oyster is good regardless. Durgin Park be warned that you might be sitting with others at a table. The food is decent, sometimes great. Just it can be a shock to see strangers at the same table when someone doesn't give a visitor a heads up. ;D) If you're looking for more of a sports bar atmosphere then you might want to try the Kenmore/Brighton area near Comm Ave. There are several restaurants, bars, and a few clubs in and around that area and it's college country. So it can be pretty lively. The closer to Kenmore (near Fenway Park) you are the more sports bars, so that is an alternate destination if you're into watching the game. :) If you want dinner and a movie or a show then you'll want to check out the Theatre District. (Downtown/Chinatown area over by the Boston Common/Tremont St.) There are several plays in that area, a movie theater, and a plethora of restaurants. Everything from upscale dining, clubs, bars, to something as simple as fast food. There are also a ton of Asian restaurants nearby in Chinatown so if you want Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, it's all there. You also find a deli or two and a few diners in that area too. So if Pad Thai or General Gau's chicken doesn't sound right, you can always go get a hamburger. ;) Over by Downtown and closer to the Financial District are more restaurants and bars in case any of those suggestions might not be what you're looking for. Ranging from sub shops to upscale dining. Ususally the common action for a Sunday is to go see a show and relax or find a hangout and watch the game if it's on. That also might be more flexible for you as you can fly in, drop your stuff off and get refreshed without heading back out in a rush. Monday or whatever day you come back up to Boston, then you can get into the tourist role and visit museums as they will be back to normal hours. :) (Assuming it's not all 100% business trip after Sunday night.) Hope you enjoy your stay! :)

There is always the MFA (Museum of Fine Arts) and the Museum of Science. Faneuil Hall is a good place for shopping and resturants. There are plenty of bars that you can watch NE vs. BUF if that is of any interest. As far as good places to eat, the North End has unbelievable Italian food and you can hit any price range. For seafood (on the pricey side) there is Anthony's Pier 4. For a more local seafood experience the Union Oyster House isn't bad for less money. Other thoughts: Italian - North End... Homestyle - Silvertones Japanese - Oya Pub Grub - Sunset Grille and Tap (over 400 beers!) Plenty to do.

THIS sunday night, watch the Patriots like everybody else. Starts at 8. You'll have no problem going to theaters or restaurants as everybody watches our Pats.

I agree with bsxfn, watch the patriots. Go to Cask and Flagon next to Fenway Park and watch the game. You could eat pub food here, right behind the green monster so has a coolness factor. Depending your price range for dinner - Davio's is excellent, but a little pricey. You could watch the game and eat an excellent meal at the bar there. $30+ range for entrees. http://www.davios.com/Boston.htm I agree with others regarding the North End - Hanover street, flip a coin and go into any restaurant. Get a canoli at Modern Pastry for dessert. Meals here will be sub $20 for an entree depending on restaurant. Assuming your flying into Logan, the North End is immediately to your right when you come out of the tunnel coming from the airport. For something historic, go to the Union Oyster House, next to Faneuil Hall, get some seafood and chowder. Although you will have plenty opportunity to get that on the cape too. The North End Italian is tuff to beat. You also might poll the folks on chowhound.com's boston board. The real foodies hang out there.

Go to a local Bar and watch a Patriot game!!!
