Cyclorama — Local services in Boston

Do not pass up an event at the Cyclorama There are several major annual social events throughout the season (Covid excludes) and any opportunity to mingle under this glittering rooftop will be glorious. The cavernous circulars space s so stylized. It as the epitome of High Victorianism. While the venue is not the lap of luxury, the accommodations are sufficient.

Only good food was the chicken pot pie. And not only were the wine glasses plastic but didn't even say Phantom Gourmet on them. Drove all the way from Western Massachusetts for it. Ugh. Not at...

This is a beautiful and stylish mid sized venue, in an attractive area. The layout encourages tables around the border, and would probably make a nice social dance venue. Parking can sometimes seem impossible, though, and it's at least a few block from the Back Bay T, so give yourself some time to get there.

It would be really great if, given the number of family events that happen here, the venue could install a changing table. I hate to take a star off (so I won't), but it would make it much more pleasant for the many parents who I see at events here (and, of...
