The Clayroom Boston

All day, all clay

""The Clayroom" Boston is a studio with all you might need to create with clay! From teapots to ornaments to piggy banks and much more. Perfect for dates!"

Ok, so the Clayroom is my go-to for weekend dates with my boyfriend, hangouts with friends, family visits, and everything in between. It's great because it's something that everyone can enjoy, no matter your age or artistic talents. You simply go in, talk to the friendly and wonderful employees, make your choice of pottery off the shelf, and get painting!

They have everything you can imagine in terms of what you want to paint, from teapots to ornaments to piggy banks and sooo much more. They have tons of cartoonish options that appeal to kids, so it's great for family outings. However, it's also perfect for an evening date, as their BYOB policy allows you to enjoy your favorite bottle of wine while painting the perfect addition to your kitchenware.

If you want to plan a night in advance rather than showing up spontaneously, no worries: the Clayroom not only takes reservations, but has regular events. Tuesday Nights are Pizza Nights, where you pay the exact same price as any other day but have the added plus of free pizza! Wednesday Nights 18:00-22:00 they have Wine and Cheese Nights (21+), where for a small extra fee you're treated to a bottle of wine along with cheese, fruit, and crackers (and in my experience, even cookies!).

Save room for dessert

A slice of nice

"Veggie Crust" in Boston is definitely not just another pizza joint; first off it's 100% vegetarian. They even have falafel pizza, and it's actually good!

"Flat Black" in Boston makes Australian-style espresso. These guys roast their own beans in Dorchester and make the best carving designs into the milk!

Hilton's Tent City

Old school adventure

"Hilton's Tent City" is where the Boston outdoorsmen of yore picked up their stuff before Goretex and GPS. I like that they have modern and classic brands.

Brooklyn Boulders

Climbing and community

"Brooklyn Boulders" is a solid addition to the climbing scene in Boston. Of course the choice to set up show in this specific street is deliberate & edgy.
