  • The Emerald Necklace is a series of beautiful parks. It's a different way to view Boston and great for a long run or stroll.

  • Bodega looks like a shabby corner store, but walk through a door disguised as a soda dispenser & you'll see it's really a high end shoe store.

  • What's Boston without a little History? The USS Constitution is the world's oldest commissioned warship afloat and is open for free guided tours.

  • The menu at Parish Cafe is so cool! It take a few dishes from local chefs and makes them right there. Try the Zuni Roll or The Campbell.
