Things To Do (And Eat!)
Tupper Manor Beach
For those wishing to stay nearby, there’s a small beach just behind Tupper Manor and the Wylie Inn. It might not be the best for swimming, but it’s a good place for an ocean-side stroll and some sun
Charles River Canoe and Kayak: Cambridge, Kendall Square
Kayak or canoe all around the Charles river with some awesome views of the Boston skyline!
Charles River Esplanade
Take a stroll through the Charles River esplanade - perfect for watching the sailboats and meeting some local pups!
Boston Common and Public Garden
A Boston classic! Be sure to check out the Make Way for the Ducklings display, the Frog Pond and the Swan Boats.
SoWa Open Market
Newbury Street and Copley Square are often cited first for their shopping, but for some local crafts, food trucks, and beer garden, SoWa (otherwise known as South of Washington) in Boston’s South End can't be beat!
Time Out Market Boston
Cafeteria-style eating meets trendy foodie pop-up restaurants. Come take your pick from lots of favorite Boston restaurants, and be sure to check out the Trillium beer garden (a local favorite)
Samuel Adams Boston Brewery
Take a tour and try some classic Boston beers at Sam Adams
Tiger Mama
One of our favorite restaurants, boasting some delicious Asian fusion tapas! Great for couples or groups, but we definitely recommend making a reservation in advance if you can. Order the Singapore Street Noodles. You’ll thank us later.
Barcelona Wine Bar
One of our go-to date nights. The tapas are perfect for sharing and even though it’s known as a wine bar, we can’t resist their cocktails. We suggest making a reservation, but if you’re waiting, Banyan next door has some great drinks.
Tatte Bakery & Cafe
Pronounced like “latte,” Tatte is a walk-in coffee and brunch spot. You'll often find us there on the weekends, chowing down on their lamb shakshuka (Brian) or tartines (Leah). We’ve highlighted the location in our neighborhood, but there are Tattes in other locations throughout Boston and Cambridge. Trust us, it won’t feel like a chain.
Salem Harbor
Take a walk around the Salem Harbor and check out the boats and some cute local stores
Ledger Restaurant
We had a really delicious brunch here and the dinner menu looked great too.
Salem Witch Museum
Can’t recommend a trip to Salem without recommending a trip to the witch museum. We haven’t had a chance to check this out yet, but it’s on our tourists-in-our-own-city list!
Downtown Salem District
Salem has tons of cute shops to explore as well as some curious street vendors (after all, why should Halloween be limited to just one day?).
