Fun and entertainment Côte Est Etats-Unis

This is a showroom that's famous all over Massachusetts. The Provincetown Theater Foundation troupe was formed in 2001. The programming is varied, with a mix of classic plays (such as You Can't Take it With You from 1938) and more modern productions (Sweeney Todd: The Evil Barber of Fleet Street, based on Tim Burton's film of the same name, was a big hit in 2019). Provincetown residents enjoy the theatre year-round. The program is available on the website.

It's one of the nicest pubs in Oak Bluffs and even on the island. This craft brewery serves a wide range of local beers, which vary with the seasons. Try the pumpkin beer for Thanksgiving, it's not sure you'll find it good, but it's an original idea! The service is welcoming and the atmosphere is warm, especially in the evening - you can't hear yourself tasting your pint. The menu features classic dishes, pulled pork sandwich, coleslaw and other burgers.

When it opened its doors in 1937, this theatre was one of the first in Boston to offer films. At that time, it could seat up to 1,700 people! It closed its doors in 1976 and, unfortunately, its beautiful Art Deco interior was largely destroyed. Today, it hosts international film, theatre, music and dance productions. It underwent major renovations between 2005 and 2010 and can accommodate up to 550 people.

This is what the Americans call a dive bar, a neighbourhood bar with a relaxed atmosphere, where pretension is not in order. To some, The Ritz is the last real bar on Martha's Vineyard. For over 75 years now, its regulars have been gathering around its wooden bar and drinking a fresh foam while chatting with the bartender. The decoration is a bit retro without being worked on, as can be seen from the magazine pages cut out and simply glued to the wall. We come here to drink a beer while listening to the blues live.

Provincetown doesn't only have trendy cocktail bars: the city also has its own dive bar, and the atmosphere is as relaxed as one can imagine! The Old Colony Tap is a popular bar where gay and straight customers mix happily. We like its marine atmosphere, with its buoys as decoration, and its tavern-like look, with its large used wooden tables that smell like beer. Besides, what we drink in this bar is mostly pints. The maritime tradition of P-Town can be found here in its most festive aspect.

An Irish pub, typical of the area, with its share of students who come to toast to exams. We like the authentic side of the place, which relies on its atmosphere and its large selection of beers, which includes some specialties from Massachusetts. The atmosphere heats up as you move through the evening, as it does in any Irish pub. Beware, it's noisy and crowded. Activities are organized every night, from concerts to pub quizzes (Geeks who drink), perfect for making new friends. A lively atmosphere is guaranteed!

This is a nice place to drink a beer and relax, with its large windows that let in the light and its designer interior. Many MIT students come here to relax in the evenings after classes and on weekends. In fact, as a nod to the clientele, the menu, written in chalk on a blackboard, is presented in the form of a periodic table! You can nibble on tacos and other chips on the premises, or even opt for a burger.

A cosy Irish pub with a traditional look, colourful stained glass windows and furniture in earthy tones. The establishment has a long bar and a large dining room, so you are quite comfortable even on weekend evenings. There are burgers, fish & chips, seafood, chicken wings and French fries galore, and Guinness for those who like to drink it up! The others can treat themselves to a wide selection of draught beers and ciders. And the students are more than present.

This independent cinema is a former theatre housed in a beautiful building dating from 1890 and located near Harvard Square. It has a single room and is one of the only cinemas in the country to use rear projection technology (the projector is behind the screen and not behind the spectators). Interesting programming, which changes American blockbusters: films from the 1950s, independent or international films with subtitles, but also documentaries. Many Harvard students attend it.

This is one of the trendiest and most offbeat places in Cambridge! The music programme is out of the ordinary and it's best to buy your ticket in advance if you don't want to miss your evening. Open since the 1970's, the venue has grown from a Lebanese restaurant to a complex of three concert halls, each with a different program, and two restaurants, where you can dine in a fun Oriental atmosphere.

The Royale is an obligatory stop on Boston nights! The place, rather elegant with its large spaces and balconies, offers a rather successful lounge atmosphere. But it's especially its programming that pleases: hip-hop, R&B and reggae nights, DJ and electro nights, latino music, etc. Numerous concerts are organized there. There is no specific dress code, but casual clothes (shorts, flip-flops, sportswear, hats and backpacks) are not always allowed. Sneakers are not allowed on Saturday evenings.

A chic bar in the no less chic and luxurious Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel. A great choice of cocktails and wines to enjoy in this place voted best bar in the city by Boston Common Magazine in 2022. The Oak Bar (whose decor is reminiscent of English officers' clubs in the Orient) is undoubtedly one of the most elegant bars in the city, but it is also an excellent restaurant. One can easily come to dine there while sipping some delicious cocktails perfectly made. The service is neat, and the subdued atmosphere very pleasant.

The place is mostly known for its restaurant, its efficient service and its Sunday brunches, but don't forget the bar, often crowded, very nice to just have a drink or wait for a table. You can take advantage of many promotions, like the oysters at half price on Monday afternoons when you sit at the bar, or the beer and pizza combo for the modest sum of 12 US$. The offers change regularly but they are written on the mirror behind the bar. The atmosphere is elegant and bourgeois, very Back Bay.

Located across the street from Northeastern University, it is the oldest independent music school in the United States. The NEC Jordan Hall, which can accommodate more than 1,000 spectators, is renowned for the quality of its acoustics. It was built in 1903 and has been a U.S. National Historic Site since 1994. It is very beautiful, with its horseshoe-shaped balconies and Italian-inspired organ. Proof of its importance is that the vast majority of recognized classical musicians have performed there.

Long known as the Metropolitan Theatre, this historic hall dating back to 1925 has had many lives. In the 1960s, it became the home of the Boston Ballet Company and was renamed Music Hall. Bob Marley performed there in 1978 in a recorded concert, which was not broadcast until 2015. Today, the Wang Theatre mainly presents "big" productions, especially those performed on Broadway. People come here to see theatre, but also dance, concerts and opera.

Want to see an international film in OV with subtitles? Head for this independent cinema, which must be supported at all costs. The programming is eclectic and independent films, recent or not, are in the spotlight. A few blockbusters are usually showing. The building, which dates back to 1906, originally housed a church, before being transformed into an Art Deco movie theatre in the 1930s. The cinema originally had only one screen, but now has four. A must for the inhabitants of the district.

This brewery is located in the New Bedford Historic District, as evidenced by the charming cobblestone streets that border it! It is housed in a 1927 building with a pleasant industrial atmosphere. Here you can taste the various beers brewed on site, including Ishm-Ale, a nod to the character in Herman Melville's novel. Every Friday, on the occasion of Firkin Fridays, you can taste the house beer aged in barrels. Also good fish dishes.

A special feature of this concert hall is the bay window at the back of the stage with a view of the sea. Classical music concerts with the colors of the sunset in the background are a delight for music lovers. Occasionally, however, the curtain is drawn for acoustic purposes, depending on the band's needs. In any case, the summer program is well worth a look, and with a bit of luck you could spend a delightful evening listening to music.

This typically American pub offers a wide choice of draught beers and many different kinds of alcohol. It is a friendly place, appreciated by the inhabitants, with screens decorating the walls and broadcasting sports events. On match nights, the atmosphere is rather masculine and very lively. On the menu, there is a wide range of specialties: tacos, quesadillas, nachos with melted cheddar cheese, burgers to make up your own... Not very refined, it's true, but very efficient!

Live concerts and artisanal beers, the two ingredients that will make your evening a success.

A must-see venue for all those who want to get to know the local arts scene and have a good laugh. The Vermont Comedy Club offers young comedians the chance to perform on stage, and the program features some great discoveries. This venue was born from the association of two comedians, Nathan Hartswick and Natalie Miller, who wanted to develop a community of artists and fans, and offer a place where comedy would become accessible to all. Since 2015, the club has established itself as a benchmark, attracting top talent.

Sophisticated "signature cocktails" to tantalize your taste buds and delight your spirit. Tapas and cheese platters are available to accompany these precious beverages. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, the music well chosen, the decor perfectly in harmony, and the barmaid very friendly.

The BAR is a strange place, which is at the same time a pizzeria (known for its pizzas with very fine dough), a concert hall and a nightclub. Opened in 1995, in place of a former car showroom, the BAR has now become a must for New Haven nights. The complex houses several spaces, each with its own ambience. You'll go to the Lounge for an intimate evening with friends, to the Brü Room for pizza and a beer brewed on site, and to the Back Room to dance the night away.

The Yale Theatre, founded by the former Dean of the University's School of Drama, strives to bring together the great classics and modern creations, often staged to a high standard. The school's talented students rub shoulders with theatre professionals. It is located on the university campus, in a beautiful building erected in 1846. It is a former Baptist church in neo-gothic style, which was converted into a theatre in 1966.

A centre for theatrical creation, which presents a high level of programming all year round. It has been an institution of the city since 1965, where light comedies as well as classical plays are performed. The Long Wharf Theatre is known in the community as the place where a multitude of original plays are created. Several dozen of them have been performed on Broadway, some of which have even won a Pulitzer Prize. Its stage has seen some of the biggest names, from Mary McDonnell to Sam Waterson, not forgetting Al Pacino.

Musicals and dance ballets are performed in this historic venue that has been part of the New Haven cultural scene since 1914. Among the great names who have walked the stage of this theater are Marlon Brando and Liza Minnelli. The beautiful, opulently decorated theatre seats up to 1,600 people and is equipped with comfortable red velvet armchairs, dressing rooms and balconies on three floors.

Like many New England cities, Providence has a renowned theatre, which is one of the region's cultural hotspots.
