This vibrant, contemporary Indian restaurant is literally in the heart of Boston’s emerging Theatre District. The décor is stellar with handmade copper chandeliers and a classic granite bar. Tantric Bar & Grill recently added a hookah bar, a spot where hipsters toke on flavored tobacco. Also, Tantric Bar & Grill is in an excellent spot for people watching—large windows allow for patrons to witness the pulse of the city as theatergoers shuffle up and down Stuart Street. Try Tantric’s sag paneer, tandoori chicken and mung bean salad for its unique flavor combinations.

Bostonians love their beer and this Theatre District haunt delivers. Rock Bottom built its foundation on a tradition of fresh, handcrafted beers and a diverse menu that includes originals like the Jambalaya with Red Ale Rice and Mahi Tacos. Beer enthusiasts love the “Mug Club,” Rock Bottom’s rewards program that earns you a specialized Rock Bottom mug and “frequent drinker” points based on how much brew you consume.

Known mostly for their innovative pizzas all over the world, this Theatre District location has outdoor seating and a seasonal menu of interesting specials. Most children are far less adventurous than their adult counterparts. Luckily, CPK has a children's menu. For $4.99, kids 10 and under have a choice of pizza, pasta, or curly mac 'n cheese. Meals come with a drink; dessert can be added for an extra 50 cents.

Also known as "New Shanghai" (that's how they answer the phone) Shanghai Cafe offers gourmet Chinese cuisine from different regions of China prepared with the "finest ingredients" (their laguage). Located close enough to Chinatown to boast authenticity and centrally accessible to please the Theatre District crowd, this top-notch Chinese establishment also boasts karaoke. Deliveries outside their small circle (such as the South End) have a small delivery charge ($4?)and often take 45+ mins. They are consistent in quality.

If you're going to do fast food, opt for the healthier alternative. Located in the heart of the Theatre District, this Subway is a regular haunt for Emerson students and theater-goers looking for a quick bite to eat. One of the few fast-food options in this regentrified part of town, the Tremont Street location boasts a cleaner-than-average store and decent arsenal of sit-down tables. Great selection of hot sandwiches and low-fat wraps. And the bread is baked fresh daily.

The Intermission Tavern offers a wide selection of delicious food and drinks in a theatrical-themed atmosphere. The tavern is sprinkled with posters of Theatre District shows from the past.

A $10 minimum for all cards. This Theatre District spot has the best and biggest slices and huge, fresh salads to go or eat in! Counter service only.

Template:Dance Club Probably the most fashionable club in Boston, Aria is easy to spot: just look for a long line of scantily-clad patrons trailing down the sidewalk outside the Wilbur Theatre. Decadence abounds here, with an overtly chic crowd and enough plush velvet to make Hugh Hefner jealous. Sample a drink from one of Aria's 3 bars while watching the beautiful Aria Angels dance the night away on small tables bordering the outer perimeter of the room. The DJ supplies pumping house and techno beats that will keep you dancing long after the angels have shed their wings. The themes range from ”Fashion House” Th to (appropriately enough) “Vanity” on F. Round the weekend off with some hip-hop on “Scandalous Sunday.” Very strict dress code: jacket and dress shirt for guys. Cover $15-20.
