Pinkies up for their tea set of savory sandwiches and sweet treats, and of course your own potful of tea. – Pop into the historic Boston Public Library. Or if you’re by the south end, visit the SoWa market which is open Sundays May – October, featuring food trucks, a vintage market, and tents run by small artisans. – Stop by the Copley Square farmers market open on Tuesdays and Fridays, from Spring to Fall. If beer is your main objective, though, Nick’s favorite in the city is Trillium Brewing (multiple locations, all w/ outdoor seating). ![]() It’s located in East Boston, near the airport, and is open Thurs – Sun. I also love to drink Downeast Cider but haven’t yet been to their tasting room. ![]() – Visit Harpoon brewery for a flight of beer, or more importantly, their freshly baked soft pretzels (the cinnamon sugar one with cream cheese icing dip … droool). Pack some sandwiches and drinks to refuel while out on the water! There are also several awesome kids playgrounds for a variety of ages right along the Esplanade path. From the river, you can see Boston on one side and Cambridge on the other. You can rent kayaks or canoes from a small stand stationed near the Hatch Shell. If the weather is nice, you can walk or run along the Charles River on the Esplanade path. These indoor malls have department stores like Neiman Marcus and Saks, a variety of designer boutiques, and shops like Sephora, Banana Republic, Club Monaco, Stuart Weitzman, etc. There’s also a number of stores that you may not find in other cities, like Allbirds, Rothy’s and Reformation! I also like the Copley Place & Prudential Center malls, which are right nearby. Newbury Street is an outdoor shopping area with a range of stores from my affordable favorites like H&M, Uniqlo, and Zara to splurge spots like Burberry, Chanel, and much more. For individual items priced over that amount, the first $175 is still tax-exempt. From the Boston Public Garden, you can walk to either the small boutiques in charming Beacon Hill, grab a bite in Chinatown, or follow the Freedom Trail through Quincy Market to Charlestown.Ĭlothing and shoes under $175 are exempt from sales tax in Massachusetts, so I see many visitors shopping their merry hearts out. There is a week of gorgeous tulips in mid-spring, foliage a-plenty come Fall, or you can ice skate on the “ Frog Pond” in the winter. There you can also have a picnic, take kids on the (very slow-moving) swan boats or merry-go-round, and eat soft serve from the Boston Frosty truck. Let me know if you guys have any questions, and be sure to check out my map at the bottom to see where everything mentioned here is located! When traveling we like to visualize where all the places we want to hit up are located, then find somewhere to stay central to those.īoston is very much a walking city, so pack your flats! One of my favorite paths to walk is starting at Hynes or Copley subway station on the green line, going along Newbury Street (our biggest shopping street) all the way to the Boston Public Garden and Boston Common. ![]() Nick and I each moved to Boston for school thinking it’d be temporary, but the charm of this small, historic city (with no shortage of seafood…yum) grew on us tremendously over time. We often get questions on what to do and where to eat, so finally pooled our favorites into this mega post! I’ll be keeping this updated and will add any new or forgotten favorites.
