Bumming Around Beantown

As May approaches, and with the AIA National Convention just two weeks away, a range of resources can help you organize your downtime. Architect has published, “At the Convention: How to Spend Your Free Time This May in Beantown,” by Fred A. Bernstein, with suggestions on architecture, restaurants and bars, and shopping locations to check out.

Also, Architectural Record‘s website, Record Reveals: Boston, features a city guide complete with overviews of the city’s history, museums, galleries, shopping, dining, nightlife, and walking tours. An open photo gallery encourages individuals as well as firms to submit photographs of interesting buildings, both new and old.
