Berkeley Community Garden

East Berkeley Street, Roxbury, MA

http://berkeleygardens.tripod.com/index.html

A garden plot

One of Boston's many community gardens

Plots are assigned via a lottery

This is one of Boston's many community gardens. Located in the South End on the corner of East Berkeley Street and Tremont Street, the Berkeley Community Gardens offer about 150 garden plots. Any Bostonian can be a part of the garden, and plots are assigned through a lottery during the fall cleanup every year. This is not a free program, however, because as many people know, it costs money to keep the common areas of a shared garden clean and picked up. The garden offers bi-weekly group clean ups, which allows time for fellow gardeners to network and come together as a community.

The garden was started after the urban renewal movement in the 80's, and was previously a row of brick houses (similar to the rest of the South End). This garden is part of the South End Lower Roxbury Open Space Land Preservation Trust.

El Triunfo is a popular take-out eatery in the easternmost part of South End. The store front is low-key, but the line out its front door at lunch time makes it easy to find this hidden gem. Not to worry though - service is quick and the line moves fast. Menus and decorations are done in a colorful "modern graffiti style".

The Phoenix sums things up well: "El Triunfo, by the way, is Spanish for winner. There’s truth in advertising here." Read the complete review here.

Delivery is available Thurs, Fri, and Sat to the South End and parts of South Boston.

JJ Foley's is the oldest, continually family run Irish bar in the city of Boston. It was here almost 100 years ago that the Boston Police decided to unionize. Although there are 2 locations throughout the city (with the other location in between the Financial District and Chinatown), this bar has retained it's character and personality through the revamp of the South End. Don't be fooled by the fact that they now serve food and have a restaurant (with great pub grub) attached to the bar. You will still find a variety of people huddled up to the bar ranging from young and swanky, to old and toothless. Whether you are one of the ol' regulars that has been a patron for 50 years, or a new addition to the South End, JJ Foley's promises to deliver one of the best dive bar experiences around.

Medieval Manor Theatre-Restaurant

Restaurant

Dress:	Casual
Hours:	Showtimes: W-F 8pm Sa 5 and 9pm Su 6pm

Know more? Edit Me

Hidden away in an innocuous-looking building in the South End, this theater-restaurant offers up a truly original dining experience. A troupe of second-rate actors, musicians and comedians dressed in ridiculous Middle-Age costumes perform a series of raunchy skits and songs. During the performance, the actors somehow find time to serve up a not-quite-authentic medieval meal including vegetarian “dragon” soup, spiced shrimp, strips of beef, and roasted herbed chicken, all of which is eaten without knife, fork, or spoon. You may also enjoy complimentary beer or wine with some ticket purchases, and you'll need plenty of it to really get the most out of the show. If you go with a large group, you just might have a great time. 21+, so make sure you bring your ID or a parent. Admission (which includes the meal but not the tip) ranges from $25-45, with the higher prices on weekends. Reservations are required. Private parties of up to 90 are available.
