I have lived here since 2004. Downtown is always in flux. I agree with Seajay, this isn’t it’s best vintage. I have heard that some of it has to do with how they redid Merrimack st. To make it two way and took away parking. That said, I still make my way downtown all the time. For restos, the theater (check out MRT), art, or just walking around. Really there is tons of stuff there if you look. Ever checked out the quilt museum? Or the textile museum? Boot cotton mill? The lochs? The Whistler house (fun fact, the upstairs is dedicated to a famous Russian artist and it’s mentioned in a recently published book by a Russian author who became an American citizen at the Lowell memorial auditorium). It’s there just might have to look a bit.

243 Worthen st. If you are hungry before or after check out “Friends” across the street for awesome Portuguese food (don’t be put off by the bar vibe when you walk in. Super nice peeps and they have an actual dining room if not a bar person)
