If you\u2019ve applied to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emerson.edu\/majors-programs\/graduate-programs\"> o<strong>ne of our many graduate programs<\/strong><\/a>, or have already been accepted (congrats!) then you\u2019re likely scouring Zillow or Trulia&nbsp;looking for available apartments. You might have plunged into the depths of Craigslist to find a place to settle in as you begin this new stage of life as a graduate student. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re starting a short-run series of the best neighborhoods to live in as a graduate student in Boston. We\u2019ll be taking you through the neighborhood\u2019s make-up and some of its stand-out stores, locales, sights, and monuments. You\u2019ll gain a feel for what we consider the best places to hang out, shop for groceries, grab a drink, or just take a walk. Maybe you\u2019ll fall in love with a particular neighborhood! If you&#8217;re wondering where to live in Boston, let us introduce you to Allston.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_abf5e3-dd, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_abf5e3-dd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_abf5e3-dd\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_abf5e3-dd mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_abf5e3-dd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_abf5e3-dd\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_abf5e3-dd img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_abf5e3-dd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_abf5e3-dd\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_abf5e3-dd wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_abf5e3-dd\"><strong>Allston Fun Facts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For decades, Allston has been a hub for graduate and undergraduate students alike, and with good reason! Most of the neighborhood is located within three of the four Green Lines of the Boston Subway (affectionately called the T), and only a 20-30 minute ride away from both Boston and Cambridge\u2019s downtowns. Historically, it\u2019s been more affordable than neighborhoods closer to Boston\u2019s city center, and is currently home to around 28,821 residents, about half of which are students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allston is named after American painter Washington Allston, which is fitting given the neighborhood\u2019s long history of burgeoning artistic scenes. It\u2019s a fairly diverse and open-minded neighborhood as well, hosting Korean, Chinese, Thai, Indian, Brazilian, Russian, Vietnamese and Colombian immigrant communities, plus significant LGBTQ+ presence. Additionally, it\u2019s a relatively young neighborhood, with the median age being around 29 years old.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allston merges with another great neighborhood, Brighton (which is also worth checking out if you&#8217;re wondering where to live in Boston!). In fact, Allston was founded around 1826 after the construction of a railway that separated it from Brighton. Where exactly one ends and the other begins is hotly debated to this very day, but that\u2019s a topic for another time. For our purposes, we\u2019ve limited our tour of Allston to its main three T stops: Packard\u2019s Corner, Harvard Avenue, and the eponymous Allston Street.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Packards Corner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marketsoftheworld.info\/market\/hong-kong-supermarket\/\"><strong>Super 88 Supermarket &amp; Foodcourt:<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/07\/DSC07912-1-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Super 88 Market's entrance, with a billboard that reads &quot;Super 88 Market&quot; and &quot;Food Connection&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-1974\" width=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/07\/DSC07912-1-edited.jpg 1333w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/07\/DSC07912-1-edited-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/07\/DSC07912-1-edited-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/07\/DSC07912-1-edited-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/07\/DSC07912-1-edited-768x767.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1333px) 100vw, 1333px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Super 88 (which is <em>technically <\/em>rebranded as Hong Kong Supermarket, yet retains the iconic Super 88 on its facade) is a cross between an Asian supermarket and a food court, with several small vendors, and a few restaurants, serving everything from Japanese to Chinese to Indian food. It\u2019s delicious, it\u2019s cheap, it\u2019s chaotic; an experience indeed! Not to mention the actual supermarket, in which you can purchase everything you need for all your Asian cuisine adventures.

It serves American food ranging from pasta, salads, fried chicken, and other bar staples. The Tavern is a trendy yet communal place, being a hotspot and jump-off for Harvard Ave\u2019s nightlife. The crowd features everything from the BU economics and business students all the way to the hipsters and art school crowds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopewellboston.com\/\"><strong>Hopewell Bar &amp; Kitchen<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopewell Bar &amp; Kitchen features a full menu, pool table, darts, and even a small section in the back with arcade machines. It\u2019s not just a fun waterhole though: Hopewell opens at 11:30AM and offers brunch, lunch and dinner menus that bump it from bar to a full-blown restaurant. It\u2019s a slightly more \u201cmature\u201d place, with most of the patrons being graduates and young working professionals rather than college students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pizzeriaregina.com\/\"><strong>Regina&#8217;s Pizzeria<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally founded in the North End neighborhood Regina&#8217;s Pizza is a famous, local, straight-to-the-point pizza joint, offering all the staples you\u2019d expect, from vegetarian to classic pepperoni.

It\u2019s especially popular for this last item, as it sells fresh beef, chicken, and even goat. It\u2019s one of those places you can smell as you\u2019re walking in: the spices that stock the isles just wafting over and coating the racks they sit on. The service is quick, friendly, and efficient, too. If you\u2019re ever looking for an Indian twist on your rice, oil, spices, yogurt, bread, snacks, or sweets, Cheema\u2019s your place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thebreakfastclubboston\/\"><strong>The Breakfast Club<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Named after the classic film, this quaint diner serves all-American burgers, sandwiches, and yes, even breakfast. It\u2019s located on Western Avenue, off of Cambridge Avenue and is truly, and very literally, a breakfast spot.
