Ever heard of Get Right Entertainment? Me neither, until last Friday night.
Bored and looking for some weekend trouble, a friend and I scoured Eventbrite to try to find something to do in Boston that didn’t involve frat boys and sorority girls spilling drinks on you. And let’s be real, we’ve had enough of the baseball stuff.
After a long, disheartening two hours of seeing the same ol’ same ol’, I stumbled across an event: “Get Right Fridays” at Causeway Restaurant and Bar. Doing more digging, I found that Get Right Entertainment does an event every Friday night either at Causeway, or at another venue named Kingston Grille and Bar. The flyer promised a mixture of hip-hop, trap, and reggae on two floors, and the ladies were free before 11pm with RSVP.
Being a woman had never felt so great.
Once we got a little dancing and pregaming with moscato done, my friend and I were ready to take on the town. Getting to Causeway way later than 11pm without any RSVP, we found that the cover was $20 per person. Pretty steep, and definitely out of our budgets that night, but luckily, they were willing to take however much we had (a whopping $20 TOTAL).
At this point, our money for drinks was reduced, but to our surprise, the drinks were pretty averagely priced between $10 to $20. And yes, they did have the Henny on deck.
The DJ definitely delivered, and we danced the night away, spillage-free, and with a nice array of eye-candy available. Just for looking of course.

There’s something about dining outside that adds to the quintessential experience of summer. What better then to be able to dine outside as well as take in the amazing view of the city from a rooftop? The Black Bostonian has searched high and low for some of the perfect spots through out the city for urban professionals to gather. Whether it be for after work, first date meet up, or to watch the game, we have curated a list with only the best to meet your summer rooftop needs!

CDJ Apparel (@cdjapparel on IG) is partnering with Society on High To release their SS18 Collection this Saturday!
It’s Sunday. You’re alone in the city of Boston, starving, but tired of the regular city food. You don’t want eggs or burgers. No. You want a home-cooked meal. Your answers lie in Mattapan at a black and family owned Caribbean restaurant called “Golden Krust”.
With most of their locations in New York, this restaurant chain finally blessed the Boston residents with the Mattapan location in April of 2017. Though the company did suffer the death of their CEO in December of 2017, they stayed strong and pushed ahead, looking to expand to Canada now!
While their food is based on Jamaican recipes, they do serve a West Indian cuisine. Some of their special items include: Oxtail, Roti, Curry Goat, and those tasty Jamaican patties! But if you don’t want to venture too far from what you know, they also have Jerk Chicken, Jerk Fish, and a variety of delicious sides! The restaurant serves nice big portions for Breakfast, Lunch AND Dinner.
If you’re tired of the regular Boston food, check out Golden Krust. It’s your home away from home, as comforting as food can get.
