Things To Do
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
The MFA has an incredible collection that includes many famous paintings. Be sure to check out the Arts of Islamic Cultures and the Impressionist Gallery.
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
The site of a famous and mysterious art heist! See if you can spot the still empty frames (and be sure to take in the stunning courtyard garden).
Dumpling Cafe
Unsurprisingly, they have excellent dumplings.
Taiwan Cafe
Classic Chinatown eatery, an all-time Garlick favorite.
Michael's Deli
Our favorite pastrami in town.
Brookline Lunch
A Palestinian family-owned breakfast spot. Their za'atar egg bowl and baklava pancakes are delicious! (Cash only.)
Public Garden
Look for the Make Way for Ducklings statue (a baby Jojo favorite)!
Modern Pastry
Try their famous cannoli! And if you haven't satisfied your sweet tooth, go across the street to their rival, Mike's Pastry, for a taste test!
Mamaleh's Delicatessen Brookline
Good bagels and lox. There is also a location in Kendall Square in Cambridge with a larger menu.
Rod D by Sitti Thai Cuisine
Our favorite Thai spot! Quick and delicious.
New England Aquarium
Jesse's happy place.
Walden Pond State Reservation
Jo's happy place. A lovely stop if you are making the drive to or from Boston.
