In Boston, It All Comes Together In Downtown Crossing
Whether your tastes lean towards engaging theatre productions, compelling opera and stimulating museum exhibits, or more off the cuff, see where the night takes us evenings with plenty of trendy bars, exciting dance clubs and eclectic dining, sooner or later you're going to find yourself in Boston's Downtown Crossing.
Named for the second busiest rapid transit station on the T, Downtown Crossing, or DTX as it's known colloquially, offers visitors and residents alike the perfect mix of shopping, dining, nightlife and urban adventure.
Located just east of Boston Common and west of the Financial District, Downtown Crossing features large department stores, intriguing restaurants, bars and lounges. The section of Washington Street between Temple and Bromfield streets along with portions of Winter and Summer streets are closed to traffic to create a unique open street mall filled with small shops, boutiques and street vendors.
An attractive area for shoppers and visitors alike, the Downtown Crossing area really comes into its own when the business day is done and the after-work crowd makes their way to the neighborhood's many bars and restaurants.
The lobby bar in The Godfrey Hotel Boston is a particular favorite of these after-work gathering spots. Many local tech professionals gather here to enjoy a handcrafted cocktail and plan their evening out in Boston's most exciting dining scenes.
Ruka, The Godfrey's in-house restaurant, is an exploration of Peruvian-Japanese culture that embraces the exquisite presentations and bold flavors of Nikkei cuisine while expressing the harmony of South America's dramatic landscapes and vibrant cities through organic design and thoughtful service.
Yvonne's offers the polished, energy of '50s-era supper club to a new generation of trendsetters and tastemakers. With large format drinks in crystal chalices, dramatic long-bone Wagyu steaks, crave-worthy social plates, and a rocking bar scene, Yvonne's has ushered in a new era of dining revelry downtown.
Legal Crossing is an urban neighborhood restaurant inspired by the vibrancy of Downtown Crossing, then and now. It's a cross between all of the Legal Sea Foods concepts, evolved into a new, singular restaurant experience.
Of course, great dining isn't the only show in town where Downtown Crossing is concerned. The area's proximity to Boston's revitalized theatre district has made it a mecca for the city's enthusiastic theatre crowd.
Whether you're catching a dance performance at the Boston Opera House, Broadway musical at Citi Emerson Center, or live music or a comedy show at the Wilbur Theatre, Downtown Crossing will put you center stage for a great night before and after your show.
Downtown Crossing puts out-of-town visitors right in the heart of everything that people come to Boston for. It doesn't matter if they're catching a game out at Fenway, exploring our country's roots along the Freedom Trail, or catching up with the Old Masters at Museum of Fine Arts, Downtown Crossing puts you at the crossroads of everything that Boston has to offer.
