This place used to be ColdStone and I must say they did an excellent job with the idea to replace it with boYo.

The guy was really friendly and loaded up all my toppings.  I went with Elizabeth D. on a night where they had a special to get toppings for the cost of the weather (example 22 degrees out = 22 cents per topping!!). I got an original and chocolate with walnuts, strawberries, and crumbled reeses cups.  It was a big amount and I was satisfied.  I would return!!

Cute lounge and a cute dance floor. Music is good. Drinks are priced very reasonably, maybe $5 for a lemon drop shot or so.  I went for a reserved group event so I don't know what it is like on a regular night.  I do know that the bartenders are really bad, they shook a drink without a cap and spilled all over my friend, they lost another friends credit card, and they were just slow and kind of lost.  I was quite surprised for such a cute venue.  Maybe they were right out of bartending school, so with a little experience this place could be ok.

Thursday Night: Half off Mexican food 5-10pm.  Got a huge plate of chicken and steak fajitas with beans and rice for $5. I had a lot to take home for lunch the next day.  Service is bad, but it was a nice cheap place to eat if Match is packed as usual.

    Went there a few times.
    Once I went for Cinco de Mayo and had pretty descent Mexican Food. I had an enchilada.  When I asked for guacamole on the side, I was saddened to hear that they did not serve guacamole at all.  What kind of place that serves "Mexican Food" doesn't have guacamole? I decided that I wouldn't try the Mexican Food, but something else on my return visit.

    I brought some friends here who were in town for my birthday.  It was a Saturday and I knew they had a Happy Hour for half-off burgers from 6-10pm.  The patties are pre-made which isn't that exciting, but for half off you're only spending about $3 for a quarter pounder burger with nice toppings which include sauteed onions and melted cheese.  My vegetarian friend was also able to add $1 to get a veggie patty!  My friend who had a mushroom burger wasn't very happy, the mushrooms looked to be boiled rather than sauteed.  The beers were ice cold in frozen 22oz glasses and there were lots of options.  One bad thing is that they charge 35 cents for ranch dressing and bbq sauce...booo.

    All in all it was a nice cheap birthday dinner for 6 people with burgers, drinks, tax, and tip totaling about $70!!

I went here with Artem F. and we had a great time.  There is a live band above the stage and nice bright lights.  The theatre is small so the "Blue Men" are able to approach people in the audience and pull them up on stage.  I avoided eye contact with them even when they stood right next to me and stared me down.  They like audience participation and if you are able to inform them of a birthday they will have the entire audience tell them happy birthday.  

I liked this place, we sat in the Orchestra Section C, but any seat is a good seat even on the sides.

Tip: DO NOT COME IN LATE!!!! They will stop the show, put the bright lights on you and sing to you about being late.  It's all in good fun, but if you are embarrassed easily, arrive on time.

This place is easily accessable by T and there are plenty of cabs to catch.

Extremely small theatre in Downtown on a hidden back street which becomes Kneeland/Stuart once you walk a block north.

I went here with Artem F. to see Blue Man Group and we had a great time.  There is a live band above the stage and nice bright lights.  The theatre is small so the "Blue Men" are able to approach people in the audience and pull them up on stage.  I liked this place, we sat in the Orchestra Section C, but any seat is a good seat even on the sides.

Cute new hip spot. I went here for a friend's birthday party so he had a few couches for us to sit at.  They play good music and they were playing the movie Sin City on mute for those of you who can read lips, for those of you like myself who can't, you can stare at the actress Alexis Bledel's blue eyes all night.   My friends ordered some mini burgers and when they took too long to bring them out, they upgraded them to the full size with fries!!  They serve food very late here, at least until about midnight.  The pool tables upstairs are nice and modern looking.  I didn't see or play wii, but I will return for that!!

Great for desserts and drinks at the bar.  I didn't catch any amazing dishes on the main menu that I had to try. I would go back, I hear they have a really good happy hour. Monday through Friday from 5-6:30 p.m. $5.95 cocktails and $2 Pabst beers, plus feast on free chef's whim bar bites.

Bartenders are fast and really nice.  They didn't have remy but I got a good amount of henny for my friend for $14.  
The only bad thing was that I ordered a vodka tonic and I noticed she put grey goose for the higher charge of $10 of course.  Yes, it taste great, but I didn't ask for it.  I guess if you want the house vodka yell it loud and proud!!

Fun karaoke in the VIP rooms upstairs.  I wish they would clean or spray something in them because they smell really bad.  The music selection was good and they had a lot of modern songs. I liked this place.  Would return if the rooms smelled better. Great for parties, I spent about $10 for 3 hours of singing.

One of the best sushi places around.  I enjoyed everything I got.  They have pictures if you don't know what to get.  

One star deducted since they don't have a restroom for customers, I had to go to the burrito place a few stores away....um come on now!!
