What To Do In Boston Tomorrow |
Embrace Your Inner Scholar (or Just Pretend Really Well)
Hit the Freedom Trail: Walk (or should we say "freedom walk"?) the red brick path that winds through the heart of Boston's revolutionary past. Learn how a bunch of colonists with a serious tea-tossing aversion kicked some British butt. Bonus points for yelling "Yankees!" at unsuspecting pigeons (just kidding...mostly).
Museum Hop Like a Caffeinated Kangaroo: Boston boasts world-class museums. The Museum of Fine Arts has enough art to make your head spin (in a good way, hopefully), while the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum lets you relive the whole "tea incident" without getting, you know, soaked.
Unleash Your Foodie Fury
Chow Down on a Chowdah Adventure: No Boston trip is complete without chowder. Head to Quincy Market for a smorgasbord of options, or find a cozy little harborside joint for a more intimate chowder experience. Just remember, "chowdah," not "chowder." We don't take kindly to vowel disrespect in these parts.
Sample the Brews (If You're of Age): Boston has a thriving craft beer scene. Hit up a brewery tour or pub crawl and discover your new favorite IPA (or go for a classic Sam Adams, no judgment here).
Be a Tourist Without Feeling Touristy
Catch a Game (Maybe Cheer on the Away Team for Laughs): Boston is a city obsessed with sports. See if the Red Sox, Celtics, or Bruins are playing and soak up the electric atmosphere (and overpriced nachos).
Explore a Quirky Neighborhood: The North End is Boston's Little Italy, with charming cafes and family-run restaurants. For a more hipster vibe, venture to Somerville or Allston.
