llston is, hands down, Boston’s most underrated neighborhood. And the hipsters who inhabit it prefer things that way. Among other things, it helps keep rents at the levels that attract small, edgy businesses, including great, cheap ethnic restaurants. Allston is home to some of the best Italian outside of the North End and some of the best Chinese that’s not in Chinatown. There are hookah bars, private karaoke studios, independent coffee shops, funky diners, great bars, hot music, and (thanks to all those college kids), a lot of places that serve late-night munchies. So take advantage of Allston before it becomes Harvard’s satellite campus. Here are 25 great ways to start:
