"Side Streets" is a partnership between BU Now and The Quad, in which Quad writers will profile things to see and do along different streets that intersect Commonwealth Avenue. This week's street of choice, Massachusetts Avenue, is otherwise affectionately referred to as "Mass Ave" by Bostonians. Mass Ave is 16 miles of history and culture. The street runs from Dorchester to Lunenberg. On a journey down Mass Ave, you'll encounter bars, restaurants, historic landmarks, shops, and even colleges.

Should you find yourself in far eastern BU territory, make moves to Mass Ave and stop in any of the following highlights of the legendary street.
