A Weekend in Boston

Well, you guessed it, another city with only a week to visit, and this time it’s Boston…

Starting off, Boston is such a foodie city. Like everything I ate, I am still dreaming about!

On to what to do!

Note: Times are flexible; it all depends on what you like to do. On another note, I went to spend money on food rather than tours!

 


I stayed in an Airbnb in Roxbury because it was cheap, in a quiet area, and accessible to the T, but I mostly used Uber because it was cheap and time-efficient. 

Cafe, North End Boston

Day 1:

3pm—Check into your Airbnb and head to the North End of Boston. Enjoy walking around the cute historical streets. Visit historical sites, including the Paul Revere House and the Old North Church. Make reservations at an Italian restaurant and end the night with a sweet treat. 

Restaurant recommendations: Benventos or La Famiglia Giorgio are both super yummy and have great Gluten-Free options as well.

8 pm: End the night getting drinks at the various bars or Uber back to your Airbnb and get some rest! Depending on your vibe, Fiore has a nice rooftop, Corner Cafe for more pub vibes, and Ward 8 for yummy cocktails.
