There’s plenty in Boston that’s not boring.
Well, sure. Also: water, wet; fire, hot.Architecturally Boston is not boring... but there's a lot of "boring" aspects to Boston beyond architecture.

I'm going to guess it has something to do with the T not running all night, and bars closing at the same time as they do everywhere else in this country outside of NYC and Vegas.Such as???
I don't find Boston boring at all. What is lacking here that's in other big cities? Tons of world-class restaurants, bars, museums, beaches, outdoor activities, sports and concert venues, theaters, even a big casino... I'd say there is far more than most big cities- even NYC and LA don't have a casino. So what exactly are you missing in Boston compared to virtually every other city? I mean, I guess if you're an adult still pining for their college years and want to stay out at bars til 4am instead of 2am, then sure, but for most actual adults, drinking til 2am if plenty.Handsome and boring, just like Boston

You're hanging at the wrong places if last call is 1:15 and out the door at 1:45. Not that I'm out that late often, but I was at a bar in Somerville a few weekends ago and ordered a drink at like 1:58 and they didn't push people out til 2:30. Many gay places are the same, if that's your thing, as it is mine. There's also a certain bar at the Boston Park Plaza that is notoriously known for drinks served right til 2 and hanging out til well after. And there are many, many others like it. Stay out of the cheese-fest touristy areas where there are drunk morons bar fighting where they rightfully shut it down earlier. Just gotta know where to go.Lacking...
There is a LOT going on which is great, and yet somehow the nightlife scene is still sub-par compared to similar sized cities. Not saying there's nothing to do at all, Boston has come a long way with great food scene, outdoor drinks and dining. That said, certain segments of the population have seen too many closures of their spaces, only to be replaced with high priced, overly sanitized options - or worse an ATM bank or CVS. Other cities have managed to keep a lot more diversity in their nightlife, all nights a week. Also, even at this stage of my life, the 2am close with 115am last call, whilst being shoved out the door by 145am, is a joke.
End rant. Carry on Winthrop Tower, being our 21st century snooze-fest.
