In place of a name outside what everyone’s calling Boston’s newest hangout, what you’ll actually find is one of those universal bar code symbols that have made supermarket checkout lines so much faster. Fortunately, the owners of this new upper-scale haunt (in the space that used to house the popular bar/eatery Division 16) haven’t taken that theme to its logical conclusion inside. Instead, Barcode is a cosy, classy, mahogany and mirror-festooned restaurant with an Asian-French fusion menu and a very active bar scene. An average meal costs around $50.

The Broadway musical blockbuster ‘Miss Saigon’ returns to Boston’s Wang Center for a short run. The show, which was created by the ‘Les Miserables’ team of Alan Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, has been to the Wang twice previously for sold out runs that have made it one of the most financially successful musicals to ever come to Boston. It tells the story of love affair between a young Vietnamese girl and an American soldier around the time of the fall of Saigon in 1975.
