Booking a trip to Boston April 27th-May 1st. I'm definitely going to go to the Cubs vs Red Sox game, but anybody have any fun recommendations on what to do down there?
I'd suggest hitting up Bodega if you've never visited before. Even though it's gimmicky and not so hidden anymore, it's still a cool experience. I'd also suggest hitting up Concepts, which is right in the Harvard Square area.
In terms of things to do, there are plenty of great bars and restaurants. My suggestions below and not necessarily high end, as I was a college student when I lived there, but here you go:
-Newbury Street - located in the Back Bay; similar to NYC's 5th Ave or LA's Rodeo Drive, just not quite as upscale and not nearly as large
-Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage - right in Harvard Square; was on Food Network; can sometimes have a line, but great burgers with funny names
-Anna's Taqueria - my favorite Mexican place (local chain - 7 locations); I visit at least once every time I'm in Boston
-Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall - cool outdoor mall, with good shops and good food options
-Duck Boats
-Boston Common
-Copley Place - cool mall located in the heart of Back Bay
-Top of the Hub - expensive, but good restaurant at the top of Prudential Center
-Union Oyster House - oldest restaurant in the city
-College Campuses - Harvard, MIT, Boston College, Boston University, etc.
Hope this helps
