No question seaport has changed the most. I remember when it was the courthouse, the ICA, a couple bars and hotels around World Trade Center, the Bank of America Pavilion, and Harpoon. That was it. I remember when Trillium was still in fort point and had a capacity of I believe 8 for the whole “bar” they had set up
I definitely wasn’t in Boston for its more notoriously rough days but 10-15 years ago you didn’t really bother going to the north station anrea unless you were going to something at the Garden. I say that as someone who spent two years commuting to and through the area to get to the Charlestown Navy Yard. Frankly, there weren’t really too many bars conducive to clubbing 20-somethings in that specific area. But back then at least you had west end Johnnie’s and Hurricane’s nearby for a good time, and ward 8 is a nicer spot. I never really bothered with the Harp. Kudos to the city for doing a ton with what wasn’t typically much more than a staging ground for the circus, flipping that into what it is now. And with TITS, night shift, A&B, there’s a really solid set of options
Boston will never really hold a candle to New York in terms of food, entertainment, culture, night life etc but it certainly has come a long, long way in a very short period of time.
