It’s not the Cannes Film Festival in Paris, but it comes a close second ;), if you have never been to a free film screening at AMC, or at Lowes Boston Common 19, you are missing out. I’ve seen The Danish Girl, Steve Jobs, & Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them all for the lovely price of FREE! Did I mention I paid nothing for these tickets? Did I also mention that I saw these films before they even came out in theatres?
A sight for sore eyes, Bodega is the hippest place you whippersnappers could be at. Right on Clearwater St. It looks like a little grocery store on the outside but is really a shoe store. Just because you can’t afford those shoes, doesn’t mean you can’t bask in the amazement that is Bodega.

Ahhh. The visual apex of capitalism. But you know what’s better than buying things you don’t need (Or things you do need but can’t afford, or things you want and don’t need but can’t afford)? Window shopping! Newbury Street is a lovely area, with interesting stores (like Newbury comics-for some FREE comic book reading), energetic people, and lovely architecture. Newbury Street is a lot of fun, and you don’t have to buy anything to enjoy it.
For the politician in you, the Boston State House offers free admission and free tours.
If it’s not beginning to look a lot like Christmas, it definitely will when you mosey on over to Faneuil Hall to witness the magic that is Faneuil Hall, & the gargantuan, lit up, Christmas tree. There is also a series of outdoor performances that are free, from touring Broadway companies, to Local musicians.
