Looks like Downtown Lowell has undergone major change in the last few years. (But I haven't really checked out many places...) Any tips/pointers/no-nos for places to hang out?

  Not too many places to avoid totally, that I can think of. The downtown area, such as Market St. and Middle St. seem to be the best. I would try to avoid walking into "The Acre", which is roughly inside Dutton St., Fletcher St., Pawtucket St., and Father Morissette Blvd.
  
  You could also wander down to Boomer's off of the Pawtucket Blvd., if you're so inclined. It's on the Dracut side of the river, across from the O'Rourke Bridge.
  
  Also, you may want to try venturing into "The Acre" by just one street, to The Olde Worthen. They seem to be doing an original music thing there that I'm not sure is going to work out, but they seem to be doing whatever it takes to get business in there.

  You know I lived in Downtown Lowell for two years, (a year and a half ago) and there are more CONDOS going in then places to hang out.
  
  Downtown didn’t really have much to offer for me since I’m not into bars or club’s.
  
  Downtown is all about ART
  "The Brush Art Gallery” mixture of gallery and artist studios/gift shops.
  "The Revolving Museum" is a hit or miss on "quality" art work.
  “Ayer Lofts” is a small lobby art gallery ( http://www.ayerlofts.com)
  Lowell Camera Club has an exhibit at FirstMass Bank (formerly Massbank) on Central ST. ( http://www.lowellcameraclub.com)
  
  FOOD…
  Italian: http://www.fortunatosrestaurant.com About the only place I’ve gone to more than twice.
  
  I avoid: (opinionated and depends on when you go and who cooks the food)
  Mexican: Mambo Grill… food was bland and not fully cooked. Nice theme though. Supposedly they changed owners, and haven’t been back there since.
  Cobblestones…was to loud.
  
  COFFEE
  “The Brewd Awakening Coffeehaus” http://www.brewdawakening.com A good hangout spot, not so good coffee though. Free wifi, and board games available. Check out the event calendar on their website, as they have live bands and poetry nights…
  
  http://menupix.com/lowell/index_pad_a...
  
  The Coffee Mill...which is known for having the best quality coffee. Other than than you have Dunkin's.
  
  FESTIVALS…
  Seasonally they have the "Folk Festival", "WinterFest", and "Doors Open" ( http://www.doorsopenlowell.org)
  
  Places are starting to stay open till 8pm, rather than 7pm.

Anyone out there from the Lowell area? I moved to Dracut about two years ago and am still finding my way around. I'd love to hear from others in the area.

      Well, we haven't really found many suitable places to play here in the Lowell area, but we play in Somerville at the Kirkland Café, in Cambridge at Ryles Jazz Club, Dodge Street Bar & Grille in Salem, MA, the Rhumb Line in Gloucester, and Jake's Dixie Roadhouse in Waltham. We're looking to expand a bit, maybe up into NH, or if any places here in Lowell open up.
      
      See/hear more of the band at http://trickbagmusic.com or at http://myspace.com/trickbagband. I've also got an account set up for the band at http://heyletsgo.com/view_profile.php....

    ...The most popular one I'd say is Jade Pacific on Boston Road going toward Burlington. I can't say it is the best... our family's favorite was next door (Jade East), which is no longer in business (No pun intended but my mother was "jaded" after Jade Pacific refused to return a large sum of money that went missing from her purse while the busboy came over and cleaned the table while her purse was still on the bench and cleaned out her purse as well!(we were standing putting our coats on) For me regarding Chinese food. Once you get used to a certain place, you begin not to like to go any where else. (oh wait...I guess I'm that way about Mexican too). ...So in my opinion figuring out the BEST is a personal thing. Here is some guy's opinion I found on google about the area's Chinese food... http://www.visitingnewengland.com/chinese...
