The city of Boston, Mass is a recognized by many as one of the best places for singles in the whole of the US.
One of the biggest reasons is probably due to the fact that it has more than 40 colleges which means not only are there a huge amount of single guys and girls attending the colleges but the infrastructure which has built up catering for this mass of young people means even local Boston residents are able to benefit from the lively scene this produces.

There are numerous great bars and places to eat in and around Boston and this means you’ll never be stuck for somewhere to go and meet other singles.
Some of the bars popular with the lively student crowd are Beacon Hill Pub on Charles Street in Beacon Hill, as well as the Model Cafe in Allston, near Boston University.
Those singles are not students might prefer popular haunts wine bars and pubs like the Sevens Ale House, also on Charles Street. But Boston caters for singles in a big way.
There are a plethora of restaurants favored by singles of all ages so if you fancy a meal in a nice atmosphere with like minded singles you might want to check out Pigalle in the theater district or of course there is the Italian Sportello in the Seaport district. If you fancy something a little different try the Afgahani cuisine at Ariana in Brighton or Cambodian food in the Elephant Walk on Beacon Street (Fenway). I am sure with a bit of imagination you could find dozens of places to spend a great night out dining.
