NWR: Must-dos in Boston/MA/NE?

bmoremegan

Hey everyone,

I'm currently living in Boston, finishing up school, and I'm moving back to MD to be with FI after graduation at the end of May. Since I don't have much time left here, I'm trying to maximize what time I *do* have by doing a lot of "Boston" things. I've been here for about 2.5 years so I've done a lot of the more touristy things. Just curious...what's on your "must-do" list? Anything you think I *have* to do before moving out of the area? TIA!

I'm not sure - we just moved here and we are going to have our wedding here also.  I'll be watching the responses...

FI and my favorite things to do in the city (they might be generic but in case you didn't hit them all):

Have drinks at the Top of the Hub on a clear day/night.
Eat anything fantastic at Mike's Pastry on Hanover Street
Tour Old Iron Sides
Go to the MFA and Isabella Stuart Gardner museums
Eat at Stephanie's on Newbury

I'm sure I'll think of other things later but I'm blanking at the moment....

I enjoy
- Harvard Square
- eating pho in China Town
- dimsum in China Town
- going to the Garment District with friends for laughs (at least I used to do that in high school)
- getting $1 tacos on Taco Tuesday at La Verdad Taqueria (on Lansdowne St)
- going to the Children's Museum with friends for $1 on Friday night (it's a lot more fun than you think, especially the bubble room!)
- Harry Potter exhibit in the MOS!!!  It was awesome!
- seeing indie films in the Coolidge Corner theatre
- ice cream at JP Licks!

As for shopping (since I'm a shopaholic) the Natick mall is great!  And the Wrentham outlets are fabulous as well!  ...Just in case you enjoy shopping.
