Here are my three favorites:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Coolidge Corner Theater\n<ul>\n<li>Jonesing to see that really obscure indie movie that came out 3 years ago? How about a midnight screening of a classic horror movie? This is the place for you! The theater is small, cozy and has a killer old-fashioned marquee. It\u2019s also less expensive than going to the Regal- $10.25 a ticket. It\u2019s time to broaden your horizons! Now Showing: Boyhood.<\/li>\n<li>Also see Kendall Square Cinema &amp; the Somerville Theatre<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"\/comblog\/files\/2014\/09\/Untitled.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2014\/09\/Untitled-300x300.png\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2014\/09\/Untitled-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2014\/09\/Untitled-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2014\/09\/Untitled.png 526w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Carousel on Rose Kennedy Greenway\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s cool, you\u2019re in college now and way too cool for riding a carousel. NOT TRUE. This is by far the best carousel I\u2019ve ever been on. Ride a hand painted, hand carved animal of your choice for just $3 while listening to Frank Sinatra?

Kennedy Presidential Library\n<ul>\n<li>I will admit I\u2019m a little biased here because I did a research project in the library\u2019s archives, but I really think this is one of the most underrated places in Boston. The library itself is beautiful and chock full of history\u2014a great fall weekend activity! The views from the library are also stunning as it sits right on the water. Just take the red line out to the JFK\/ UMass stop and hop on the shuttle that takes you to the library.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"\/comblog\/files\/2014\/09\/Untitled2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2014\/09\/Untitled2-300x300.png\" alt=\"Untitled2\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2014\/09\/Untitled2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2014\/09\/Untitled2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2014\/09\/Untitled2.png 544w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you\u2019ve been in Boston a couple weeks now.
