Boston, MA Field Guide
Arrive early on a Friday evening and take Monday off - you can spend Saturday exploring Downtown, the Seaport District, Back Bay and Beacon Hill, Sunday escaping to the countryside for apples and wine, and Monday morning trotting through Cambridge before catching an evening flight.
When I visited one fall, I made the most of my time by simultaneously signing up for a half marathon, which I don’t recommend entirely because you’ll be fairly immobile the day after - but, I’ll suffer through truly anything for a ginger morning bun from Tatte. PS - Tatte has officially opened a DC location!
