There's lots of dancing to popular new wave music and techno-pop bands at the newly opened Man Ray (21A Brookline St.). It's connected to a gay night club next door so you'll find a mixture of men dancing with men, women with women, and men with women. If you want more emphasis on the band than the dancing, check out The Channel. Planes departing Logan Airport frequently roar overhead and you'll have to trek over...
