The Boston branch of this Cambridge staple, Hong Kong Boston is a favorite destination for college students and kids in the early 20s looking for cheap drinks. With a dance floor and karaoke, this place is a rite of passage for incoming college freshmen. Check pretension at the door and get your game face on, because this is a party that does not stop until the last bouncer forces you out. Indulge in the Hong Kong's famous Scorpion Bowl (a trough of liquor where you sip communally from a straw) or chug cheap beer and mixed drinks all night long. Also, Hong Kong Boston has a decent selection of Asian-inspired pub grub including a Pu Pu Platter for two which includes boneless spareribs, crab rangoon, chicken wings, chicken fingers, egg roll, beef teriyaki and fried wonton ($19.95). If you got to get drunk cheap, check this place out. Inexpensive beer, good selection, and scorpion bowls. $1 per stick teriyaki goes down really well after a long night of drinking. having chicken teriyaki on a stick for $1. They pass it out to every drunk person in the place. It's usually very crowded on the weekends and kind of dive-y. The perfect place to start out bar hopping or clubbing, but not where you want to spend the whole night.

Broad Street Variety is a great little shop near State Street in Boston. It’s just a little mom & pop type store, with a small, but useful amount of products. They have a great selection of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Coffee, as well as sodas, chips, and other snacks. The owners and staff are just fantastic. They are very friendly, and always welcoming. The prices at the shop are better than average for the area.
