Whenever I have the chance to plan a day trip in the city I have 2 go-to places to visit in Boston.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The North End<\/strong><br \/>\nBeing close to the Green Line makes the North End easy to get to since you can take it all the way to Haymarket Station and discover everything the neighborhood has to offer. It has some cool historic sites like the Old North Church and the Paul Revere House. There are plenty of Italian restaurants, caf\u00e9s, and bakeries to choose from in the North End as well! I always recommend people try a cannoli from Modern Pastry and Mike\u2019s Pastry if they want to weigh in on the debate about which bakery is better (my money will always be on Modern Pastry). You can also find pizza shops that sell pizza slice by massive slice if you\u2019re ever looking for a quick bite to eat\u2014Ernesto\u2019s Pizza is my favorite.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Museum of Fine Arts<\/strong><br \/>\nThe MFA is a straight shot through the Back Bay Fens area south of BU campus and free for students! It\u2019s a great place to spend an entire afternoon wandering around their collection of art dating from the Byzantine era to contemporary pieces. You won\u2019t find yourself getting bored in this museum if you love art as every room and floor has something to offer. And don\u2019t forget to spend time in their gift shops where you can collect postcards of your favorite pieces, buy pins, books, and even art-themed playing cards. If you ever have a friend visiting from out of town don\u2019t be afraid to show off MFA Boston and take advantage of having a student discount.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being a college student in Boston means having so many fun places to check out when you finally get some free time between classes and assignments.
