Holiday Fun in Boston (on a budget!)

Visit the CityofBoston.gov for details on brilliantly lighted Christmas Trees and Hanukkah Menorahs on display in the Boston Common, Copley Square, Columbus Park, as well as links for shopping coupons, events, and other holiday merriment around the city!

Go to the Top of the Hub - Take in the gorgeous view of Boston at night at the famous Top of the Hub. Visit the Skywalk Observatory ($11 adults/$7.50 children/$9 student), enjoy the restaurant’s Spicy Lobster Soup ($11), or stop in for a Pear Drop Martini ($13) and groove to the sounds of their nightly live jazz with late night dining menu ($24 minimum in lounge after 8pm).

Go Ice Skating at Frog Pond ! Visit America’s oldest public park’s ice skating rink. Have fun skating with your family and friends...and be sure pack a thermos of hot cider or hot chocolate (with or without Peppermint Schnapps!) Admission is $4 per person, and children under 13 are free. Skate rentals are $8 and $5 for children under 13.

Watch Sports at Game On! Fenway's Game On! is here to help with "Recession Session" Thursday nights (5-8 pm), featuring $4 appetizers and $100 gas card giveaways. Watch your favorite games on TV such as basketball, hockey, or even snow boarding…it’s all good! Enjoy great drinks and yummy apps such as buffalo chicken wings, nachos or hot spinach & artichoke dip! yum!

Go to Pajama Brunch @ Tremont 647. Enjoy this popular event every Sunday from 10:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. Wear your PJs, drink coffee and eat amazing food! I suggest Andy’s Huevos Rancheros, Gingerbread Pancakes, and Joanne’s Pop Tarts with house-made filling & colored sprinkles! Brunch entrees range from $8-16. (And check out Taco Tuesdays…only $2 each!)
