Look, I understand as well as anyone that leaving BU Campus can be hard, especially during a busy week! From BU alone, you get the joys of the GSU food court, BU Beach, COM Lawn, Agganis Arena, and so on! If you need a short trip out, Brookline and Allston are great changes of pace that are easy walks from any point on campus. A step further, the T can take you downtown in 20 minutes. Who\u2019d need anything else?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s why I want to take time and make a point of Jefferies Point! It was the first place I had gone to when I visited BU, and since then, it has held a special place in my memories. Piers Park holds one of the best views across the water of Boston from any point in the city. Gorgeous in the summer and tolerable in winter for the view, the park stands out with its proximity to the water. After a quick walk, head to one of Boston\u2019s best chains in Smoke Shop BBQ. Well, it has sibling restaurants in Cambridge and central Boston, neither quite offers the view of the \u201cEastie\u201d location. If you eat wings, it is a must stop. Going further in unlocks a plethora of restaurants any Bostonian could happily eat before going to Logan, only a few T stops away! Once home to the East Boston immigration station, the region houses a diverse food scene.<\/span><\/p>\n Everyone will walk away from their time in Boston with their own slice of memory. Their own favorite park. Favorite restaurants. For the sake of experience, give the one that overlooks the waterfront of Boston a shot!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By James Mcintyre Look, I understand as well as anyone that leaving BU Campus can be hard, especially during a busy week!
