"Chances are you haven’t been in a library since you were snorting ritalin to get through freshman year logic. But the main branch of the Boston Public Library in Copley Square is arguably the most beautiful building in the city, a 19th-century Italianate palace that will make you actually want to read instead of just telling people you like to. In a vaulted-ceiling room just off the main courtyard you’ll find one of the most unique cocktail bars in the city, the Map Room Tea Lounge. The tea-infused cocktails sound gimmicky, but they’re actually really good, and there’s a small menu of tartines and other bites that will hold you over as you struggle through the first 10 pages of The Sound And The Fury before giving up for the fourth time in your life." - dan secatore
