I’m already walking toward that pig slide that went viral, what other shenanigans should I experience in this town?
edit: apparently i’ve been spelling Boston wrong.
Go apartment hunting and be amazed that Boston has the 2nd highest avg 1br rent in the country
yeah, going to shop a bit farther out and commute.

You can edit titles on Lemmy, friend
i thought i did, is it still showing wrong on your end?
Assuming you have to get from and to Logan to do your activities: leave any driving to Bostonians or it’ll be the worst 12 hours of your life.
12 hours have gone by. What did you do, and would you do it again?
I hear they do a marathon thing there at some point
I just passed the odd looking MLK memorial, that thing is HUGE!
found the greenway, grass seems greener here than back home. looking forward to starting my new job here.
Lots of things listed that, while fun, are pretty touristy. As a local I feel like I avoid those areas but here’s some food/drink spots you might check out:
Seaport: Drink
- I haven’t been here since COVID and some staff changes. But used to be a great bar. $$$$
Bar Taco
- these are apparently a chain, but pretty good food $$
Row34
- Great seafood. But expensive $$$$$
Back Bay Area: Faccia A Faccia
- great pasta. Close enough to the airport. Around a bunch of shopping if you want touristy things after $$$
- Bar Paloma in the basement has great drinks and staff. $$$ Hecate
- bar with great drinks. $$$$$
Cambridge (Harvard/MIT area): Take the red line toward Harvard/MIT. Hop off at Central and walk either direction. Pammys - really good food $$$$ Little Donkey - also great food $$$
Brookline: Go check out Coolidge Corner. Bunch of local shops and some food. Take the Green Line (C branch) towards Cleveland Circle and exit at Coolidge Corner
Fenway: I will second that Tasty Burger is amazing. There is also a couple cool museums around there. The MFA and the Isabella Stewart Gardner.
For clarification i’m seriously asking for suggestions, your responses don’t have to be serious though.
Puttshack is kind of fun - sort of like a combination of mini-golf and bowling. (better with a group of drunk friends though)
Harvard Square’s got a bunch of nice museums and bookstores and restaurants and such, and it’s pretty empty at the moment because we’re past peak tourist season but the kids haven’t come back yet. Brattle is showing “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” if you’re a fan of second-tier Tarantino movies.
Tea party?
how did i not think of this??? I did get a boston creme donut though.
Look up activities on trip advisor, lots of good info there
