Shop Local Tip #9: Find Local EntertainmentDinner and a movie can get a little boring after a while - and expensive. Why not find some other way to be entertained in your local Boston community? I’ll bet there are many fun things to do in your neighborhood. Next time you want to have a little fun, go to a local Boston theater production, Boston sporting event or what’s on exhibit at your nearby Boston museum. Maybe buy a sandwich from your local Boston deli and picnic at the Boston park, take a class at the Boston recreational center or catch a live local band. Local entertainment calendars can be found online or in your local paper and are often quite easy on the budget.
