Donna C: Where to go in Boston?

Hello terriers!

As winter ends and we are approaching nicer weather here in Boston, here are my top recommendations of places to check out!

  1. Boston Public Gardens– the gardens is a beautiful place to go to with the ducks swimming in the pond and the flowers blooming. My favorite thing to do there is to go on the swan boat rides because you are able to see the whole garden and it’s a classic tourist attraction! It costs $4.50 for a twelve to fifteen minute ride and it reopens April 15. But, the garden is also good to go to just with friends to relax or have a picnic at and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
  2. Newbury Street– this has a variety of places to shop and eat! My favorite place to go here is Trident Book Store, where you can have a meal and also look around and buy one of the books there. For shopping, it has a variety of stores, from Urban Outfitters, to TJ Maxx, to Zara. It is also home to the first Newbury Comics, where you can buy records and shirts of your favorite artist and band! You can take the T to Hynes Convention Center or to Copley.
  3. North End– if you’re looking for a place to have Italian food, take a trip to Government Center and walk around the North End. Most restaurants don’t take reservations in advance, but it’s easy to find a place that has open seats available. Also in the North End is the iconic Bova’s Bakery. The long line may be daunting, but it moves fast and the pastries that it offers are worth the wait.

Take advantage of the warm weather that is coming and explore Boston as much as possible before the end of the semester!
