Cosplaying the Field
Bringing a new kind of cultural flair to an otherwise average March weekend, Anime Boston is a three-day convention located at the Hynes Convention Center and Sheraton Boston.
'Con'-Goers
Sharanya Pulapura '19 and Davis M. Lazowski '19 pose as characters from the web comic "Homestuck" outside Matthews Hall after returning from their third day at the convention.
The Colledge Scene
While John Harvard’s life was about as glamorous as his statue’s left foot, he has certainly managed to leave his mark. His most obvious legacy is a small college in Boston (well, not in Boston, near Boston), but some of his influences are a little more subtle. Among them is the Cambridge Queen’s Head Pub.
A Drink to the Revolution: People's Republik
Nestled on the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Lee St., People’s Republik, a Russian Communist-themed bar, has a startling exterior. Blood-red walls are streaked with lines of yellow and black, and they serve as canvases for huge murals.
Riding Out of Time at ‘Hamilton’ SoulCycle

A Curator with a Cause
Kitty Zen is one of almost 70 artists associated with ArtLifting, an online gallery that sells work by homeless and disabled individuals.
Pulling Strings
Believe it or not, there is a robust puppetry community in Boston, and the people behind Puppet Showplace offer them a place to perform their art.

Not for the Faint Hearted
At first, only two men in their late twenties chat softly in the park, nursing beers as they stand by the hammocks. Slowly, more begin to arrive, bringing lime-flavored sports drinks, roommates, girlfriends, hard liquor shots, and bikes.
