The area is culturally rich and diverse, home to a prominent LGBTQ community, as well as a colorful arts scene. We want to hear about your favorite things to do in the South End, and we’re calling on you to tell us what makes it so special.

First of all, the South End is a popular dining destination. If you enjoy exploring its restaurant scene, you’ve probably visited The Beehive, the South End Buttery, or Bar Mezzana.

When we previously asked Boston.com readers for their favorite places to eat and drink in the neighborhood, Jane S. named Metropolis Cafe.

“[It’s an] intimate neighborhood restaurant with Mediterranean inspired food. Always dependable for good food and atmosphere. We often order takeout,” she said.
