New England's largest movie screen features 12,000 watts of digital sound and a six-story projection screen. During the week, featured movies are largely ocean documentaries targeted at the under-12 set; on the weekends there's more adult fare, such as the current U2-3D concert film. If you're just interested in a movie and want to skip the New England Aquarium, don't bother waiting in the long line for combo tickets outside: there's a separate IMAX-only line inside the theater that's typically much shorter.

Originally on Province Street in Downtown Crossing with origins dating back to the 1940s, The Littlest Bar has reopened in a new--and slightly larger--location on Broad Street in the Financial District. Proprietor Paddy Grace closed the infamous original locale two years ago after issues with a high-rise condo development in Downtown Crossing. The new spot, covered with old-school memorabilia including photos and a letter from former Boston mayor Ray Flynn, also shares a kitchen with The Times Irish Pub & Restaurant. Small-size order of fish and chips, anyone?

Located in Boston's Financial District, An Tain is a restaurant and bar that transforms into a loud, funky dance club later in the night. It is trendier and more sophisticated than its neighbors Jose McIntyre's, Coogan's and the Purple Shamrock. As the evening carries on, more music and dancing become a bigger factor at An Tain. Another Pro DJ (David Natola) comes to play a stirring mix of hip hop, modern techno, house and dance music that sends the energy through the rafters. Those who are hip hop lovers! you should not miss Saturday nights here. A line begins early as DJ Steve Aprilli shows how it is done the right way. The proprietor is onsite everyday which makes for a well run, and comfortable atmosphere for everyone. That An Tain can successfully be a dining room, bar and dance club in such a small space makes it a venue worth checking out again and again. Tip: The "No Yankee hats" rule, posted prominently above the bar, is indeed enforced--especially during Sox-Yanks games. Wear at your own risk.

J.A. Stat's has one aim, and that is to bring an upscale restaurant and bar to the Financial District not only for the thousands of after work suits roaming the streets in search of a cocktail, but for the new denizens of downtown that are cropping up as quickly as their luxury condo buildings. The food is basic and upscale comfort. The cocktails are a'plenty.
