Here are my all time favorite things to do in Boston to soak in the sun and still have fun
My favorite park to take a nice stroll through. Gorgeous in the Spring and Summer when the leaves are their lightest. So many fun things to do and great food to eat.
Public Garden
The Frog Pond is a great way to chill out during the hot summer heat or a great weekend activity in the winter if you love to skate.
The Boston Common Frog Pond
The swan boats are another fun and relaxing activity if you want to get out and enjoy the real Boston scenery
Swan Boats
Newbury Street is probably one of Bostons best shopping locations. Every store you could want is there and even with the tourist it’s still pretty walkable. It’s so iconic that the street has its own website.
Newbury Street
The South Boston Water front is my favorite place to just relax and hang. Whenever I dont feel like being active I love coming here cus I still feel apart of something
South Boston Waterfront
Restaurants
Some famous restaurants here that we love to rave about and eat at (if they aren’t packed 🙏)
One of my fav restaurants for a night out. I truly adore their Tiramisu and their ravioli
1928 Beacon Hill
Sugar factory is well known for their delicious treats and amazing food. A great place to stop by for a a little boost in energy 😉
Sugar Factory
A great Japanese BBQ place that even my personal Japanese teacher always raves about.
Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ
Maggianos is a Boston staple. They have the BESSSST chicken alfredo. Their mozzarella sticks are my all time favorite. Their service is always top tier and food super quick. Get a side of calamari too
Maggiano's Little Italy
Other Food & Drinks
Some simply take out or quick stop by places that I love to go to if a sit down restaurant just doesn’t fit my vibe for the day.
If you want some good Thai food this is the best place. My first time ever trying Thai food was here. As a vegetarian I was so nervous it wouldn’t be good but it truly blew me away
Just Thai Kitchen - JTK
Blank Street is super hyped and for good reason. I love the flexability that the servers and workers always provide. You can always ask for adjustments and 90% of the time your needs are always met
Blank Street Coffee
OMG I LOVEEEE cafe nero. Theyre croissants are to die for and their desserts are so perfectly made
Caffè Nero
Arts & Entertainment
Some beautiful fun things to do for a calmer activity time. Still so entertaining and you’ll def wanna go back.
One of the best interactive activities there are. Perfect for trips out with kids too
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
My all time favorite bookstore. Always carries every book I could want to read (if not in person definitely on their site) and everything is always a great price.

Here are my personal faves that I, as a Boston native, always recommend. Some are super hyped and some may not be as known
One of the most gorgeous museums I’ve ever been too. Amazing for a nice relaxing day or even a first date
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
I just ADOREEEE this aquarium. I personally love being able to touch some of the animals and it’s truly the best spot for a family vacation. I would go everyday if I could
New England Aquarium
The Harbor is one of my all time favorite parts of living around here. It is such a beauty especially during the summer. The breeze by the water is amazing in the heat
Boston Harborwalk
Boloco is one of Bostons greatest secrets. Out very own local chipotle. The portions are crazy amazing and all the food is amazing. No matter what location you go to the workers are amazing
