I currently just came to terms with the fact that I’m spending my last fall here in Boston. It’s depressing, it’s sad and I don’t like to think about it too much. However on the topic here are some things so fantastic about the perfect season in Boston, fall.
1. Apple picking
I have not been apple picking yet but a really fun thing to do in New England is heading just outside of Boston and picking apples with your friends. Regardless if you even like apples, it’s nice to head outside, enjoy the weather and at the very least- do it for the Instagram.
2. Foilage
The leaves changing colors is probably one of the prettiest scenery changes in New England. Being from California, I foolishly didn’t realize that leaves could be so many different colors.
3. Being able to walk around in the most walkable city
Trust me, you cannot walk around in the winter as casually as you can in the Fall. Take the opportunity to walk around the Boston Public Garden, the Commons and even the North End now, because when it’s 5 degrees out, the only thing you’ll want to be surrounded by is a heater and a copious amount of blankets.
4. Head of the Charles Regatta
This may be one of the coolest events ever. The HOCR welcomes the world’s best crew teams right in our backyard. This year it’s October 18 and 19th and its incredible event to watch in the perfect weather atmosphere.
The best thing about Boston is that even though fall weather is the best, every season is exciting and brings new things to do. For example, when the Red Sox stop playing (and the Dodgers win the World Series), the Patriots come to play and then the Celtics. I’m not sure where I’m going with this besides the fact that Dodgers will win the World Series this year but fall in Boston is incredible and you should take advantage of it while you can.
