Hey, group of six in our late twenties. Going to Boston in march for 4 days. Anybody got suggestions on things to do. Anything slightly unusual? How about places to eat or foods we must try? Thanks

The Paramount! Their brunch is the best

Go north to Salem - lot's of unusual stuff there - ghost walks - witches of Salem

Neptune Oyster for oysters and lobster rolls.

Boston beer works. Jillian's pool bar. Black rose pub. Durgan park oyster bar.

Stay right in back Bay, or maybe at the leominster in Kenmore square. Strongly suggest flying from Buffalo, parking will be at least 30 a day. Also forgot. Have to have breakfast at Steve's Greek food. A Boston tradition. Also KJs deli in Brookline on Harvard Ave.

Highly recommend a walking tour of the Freedom Trail (we used Freedomtrail.org). Also have a walk around Harvard. Neptune's Oyster is great. You should also try cannoli's. There are two places which come highly recommended so try both and see which you like (Mike's Pastry and Modern Pastry). And Beacon Hill is beautiful to walk around as is the public garden and Boston Common. We also enjoyed the shopping on Newbury Street. Boston is a small city so you can see alot in 4 days!

We love the South End. Great understated Italian restaurant is Coppa. Not touristy. Locals walk there.

The other favourite restaurant in the South End is Greek and is called Kava. Also understated and filled with locals, not tourists.

....South End Buttery for great coffee and pastries and hanging out

Mike's Pastry! The cannolis are the bomb.

agreed! I think they are Obama’s favourites when he’s in town too!

There’s so many to choose from here!

Also don’t be deterred by the out of the store lineups ....it moves fairly quickly!

Marta agreed! What’s your favourite?

If you're into craft beer, Lamplighter Brewing in Cambridge is a great spot. Excellent brews, and Cambridge itself is worth spending some time exploring.
And if the weather is bad at all, the JFK Museum and library is worth the visit. It's a little out of the way, but it is accessible via the Red Line and a free shuttle bus.

I always go to this place when I go – serious lobster bisque and lobster roll! https://www.atlanticfish.com/

Mapparium and across the street is a bodega with a secret shoe store.

Harbourside Grill - and walking the Freedom Trail

You have to go to Mike's Pastry to get some cannoli!!!

Get a Lobster Tail from Mike’s. It’s a pastry but in the shape of a lobster tail. The filling is so much better than a cannoli.

There was a Benjamin Franklin one man play that was excellent. Ask about it it was on the BF was born now an office building.
Highly recommend

Some of the best ramen I've had outside of Japan

Regina’s pizza

Go walk around Harvard .. such a site to see, a legal Seafood for lunch or dinner and definitely make a trip to Little Italy. Almost any restaurant will serve up awesome food
