Things To Do
Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University
Where we went on our second date! The Arboretum is one of our favorite places in the city and is a beautiful spot for a walk or picnic. We also recommend stopping by Brassica for a coffee or meal right by the arboretum! For our second date, Bryan surprised Malia by bringing her to Brassica to grab some coffees to bring with them as they walked around the arboretum for hours:) They then ended the date by driving to Chinatown for hotpot and boba!
East Boston
Head to East Boston (easily accessible via the Blue Line) to explore some of Malia's favorite spots in the city! Enjoy some of the best views of the city (objectively, obviously) from Piers Park and Lo Presti Park (where Bryan proposed!), and then cool off by grabbing a "gelati" at Slush King. Slush King is one of Malia and Bryan's all-time favorite spots--Malia's order is passion fruit and mango slush with vanilla soft serve and Bryan's is blue raspberry slush with vanilla soft serve! Reach out to Malia for some more of her and Bryan's favorite food and activity recs in the East Boston area!
Buttermilk & Bourbon
Head to Buttermilk and Bourbon in the Back Bay neighborhood for some food and drinks, and see where Bryan and Malia had their first date (even though it was not the original plan...ask Bryan lol)
Boston Public Garden and the Boston Commons
Two landmarks right by each other in the heart of Boston! Beautiful spots to walk around, and you can even ride a classic Boston swan boat in the pond in the Boston Public Garden! Continue your adventures by walking the Freedom Trail or by walking through the iconic Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston for shopping and great cobblestone photo ops!
