The Druid in Inman Sq, and the Burren in Davis, are good for Irish pub stuff. Druid has truly excellent shepherd's pie.

The ICA can be good, although it's a bit pretentious.

Look for discounts to get into the MFA, there are a bunch of different weird offers (like, free for people with Visa credit cards one Thursday a month, that kind of thing.)

I think the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum is free if you're named Isabella. It's a pretty different sort of museum than most places and the atrium is truly beautiful especially when the weather is terrible. Worth a visit even if you don't have a discount IMHO.

He said he’s male, which reduces (but does not eliminate!) the chances he’s named Isabella. However, a more universal tip is that if you wear a Red Sox hat (or shirt, or any paraphernalia) you get $2 off!

Doh! I should read more carefully. I didn't know about the Sox thing, that's good advice.

Does the Druid still have the best fish and chips in the area? I used to love going there on a slow Friday afternoon

I've been told so! Haven't had it in ages so I can't confirm for sure.
