Enjoy the natural beauty of the area at Arnold Arboretum. The arboretum is part of Boston's Emerald Necklace park system, and at 265 acres, it's the second largest part of the “necklace”. Throughout the park, you'll see a variety of plant species and animals like turtles, racoons, white-tailed deer, squirrels, and a variety of birds and insects. There are a number of tours to choose from, leaving you with plenty of options for exploring this outdoor destination.
If you're hungry, head to the South Street Diner to appease your appetite. No matter what time of day or night, this eatery stays open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so it's perfect for late in the day breakfasts or that necessary fourth meal after a night at the bar. This diner has been a part of city culture since 1947 and it's definitely a Boston destination that you have to experience.
Spend some time hanging out in the country's oldest park. The 50-acre Boston Common is the anchor for the Emerald Necklace park system and is the starting place of the famous Freedom Trail. There are quite a few monuments throughout the park, and several outdoor events take place in the Common throughout the year.
