Textbook sales here are for Boston University, Boston Architectural Center and the Art Institute of Boston.

A famous watering hole, often featured in live camera shots during crucial Red Sox games. The Cask 'n Flagon is where Red Sox nation gathers to celebrate or commiserate. Recently featured in the Reebok ad that debuted during the 2007 World Series - Donny Wahlberg sat at the bar here, and Bobby Orr walked by too. Those heading to a game can save a few bucks by filling up on the Cask's straightforward bar fare and skipping the ballpark's expensive snacks. The walls are lined with high-definition TVs and photos that depict the histories of Fenway and the Sox. Locals fill the huge wraparound bar that resides in the middle of the main room while keeping an eye on all the sports news via an ever-present sports ticker. The Cask has some of the city's most aggressive bouncers--be on your best behavior.

Go to a baseball game at Fenway Park, even if you don't know what a “foul ball” is. Fenway remains the most intimate, beautiful ballpark in the league, and it would be a shame if you never saw the original in case it ends up being rebuilt. With 7 World Series titles under their belt, the Red Sox have reclaimed their spot of victory. Perhaps the most legendary baseball team of all time, the Sox had not won a World Series since 1918 until the reversal of the curse in 2004. Boston fans are the most avid in all sports, and the Red Sox had set that precedent even back in 1901 when they were called the Boston Americans. If you are lucky enough to come by a ticket these days, go to a game. It will be one of the most fun things that you will do all year.

Whether you're attending a Boston Red Sox game, clubbing on Lansdowne Street, or shopping in Kenmore Square, the Lansdowne Street Garage is in just the right place. Located literally right behind the Fenway Park's Green Monster. For those with disabilities, they offer handicapped parking and are close to Gates C and E (which has special access for fans with disabilities.) Also convenient to the nightclubs as well as Jillian's, Boston Billiard Club, Game on Fenway, Bill's Bar & Lounge, and Boston Beer Works, the BU Bookstore, Harvard Vanguard, all of Kenmore Square and the Cask and Flagon. In Red Sox days, garage closes 1 hour after the game.

Boston Beer Works is the oldest brewery/restaurant combo in Boston. They have 3 locations, this one across from Fenway is bustling during baseball season and throughout the year. The beers on tap change weekly. Usually there are several seasonal offerings to go along with a stable of beers, ranging from light to dark. There are alternatives for those not inclined towards the hop-laden brews too. The food is excellent - basic American bar food done right. And what's better than tucking into a burger and a beer? Chowing down right next to the tanks where that beer was made.

A McDonald's is a McDonald's no matter where you go in this country. You can expect your service to be quick and somewhat apathetic. The cheeseburger is not going to taste better than the last one you had. Upside: Free Wifi, although I suggest this be your last resort for a quite sit down place to study with your laptop.

Enter the Ankara Cafe by walking down a flight of stairs and go into a place where Turkish food, along with standard American favorites, are offered. Typical foods like Calzones, Pizza, Salads, Sandwiches and Wraps. They deliver to the BU campus and limited MIT campus. Estimated time for delivery is about 60 minutes. (8 dollar min.) On a hot summer day it might be worth stopping by for there large portions of frozen yogurt.
