BOSTON, EVENTS, NIGHTLIFE

Event Alert: Social Boston Sports Hosting Second Birthday Bash at Felt Saturday, March 7

I’ve been to a few second birthday parties in my day and they typically don’t include a night of drinks, dancing and raffle prizes. On Saturday, March 7, Social Boston Sports (SBS), a great group dedicated to hosting social events and sport leagues for young professionals, is celebrating their 2nd anniversary in the form of a birthday bash at Felt. The party starts at 8:00pm – tickets are $10, or free if you have one of their new Varsity or Junior Varsity membership cards.

The event will be a private party on Felt’s 4th floor club, which also hosted their first birthday bash last year. I’ve been to a few Social Boston Sports events in my day, and I love their ability to bring together local young professionals. It’s hard to make new connections – friendship or romantic – after college, and everyone that I’ve met at a Social Boston Sports event is friendly, outgoing and open to meeting new people.

Given their fun-loving persona and great social event and sport league options, it’s no surprise that they have grown from a small group of friends to a network of over 3,500 young professionals in just two years.

Tickets are available at www.socialbostonsports.com and will not be sold at the door, so make sure to purchase yours in advance. I’ll be there toasting to their success and eating birthday cake!

Improper Bostonian Rocks Foundation Room at The House of Blues

Last Thursday I attended the Improper Bostonian’s bash at Foundation Room, a member’s only club inside the new House of Blues on Lansdowne Street. Not to be confused with Foundation Lounge in the Hotel Commonwealth, Foundation Room is an upper-level restaurant and lounge space. The interior is warm and inviting with an eclectic (perhaps Moroccan?) décor. It has a nice balcony overlooking Lansdowne Street and a private entrance into the House of Blues concert venue.

While I really enjoyed Foundation Room, I heard rumors that membership fees start around $2,500, which means that this Savvy Bostonian will not be joining their elite ranks. It’s too bad, because if this club was open to the public as a lounge, it would be extremely popular with Boston’s trendy young professional scene.

Although I may never walk into Foundation Room again, I must give Kudos to the Improper Bostonian for giving us a glimpse into a hot new venue and attracting the hip twenty to thirty-sometime crowd that attended. As if you would have expected anything else from the Improper Bostonian! I’ve been to a few Improper Bostonian parties in my day, but this was my favorite one to date.
