This spot is perfect for relaxating outdoors and enjoying a picnic, fishing, taking a gondola ride, or just sprawling out on a blanket and watching the river roll by. There are also several scheduled events here like fitness classes and festivals.
Head to Spectacle Island for some fun and recreation in the sun. From hiking and biking to swimming and boating, there's a variety of things you can do here that will get your blood pumping. Before or after your workout, stop by the visitor center to explore exhibits about the island's history and development. You can also get a great look at the city from the hilltop.
Spend the night laughing while enjoying the comedic entertainment hosted by the Improv Asylum. On-the-spot hilarity ensues at the shows here at what's been called “Boston's Best Comedy Club.” You can expect an experience that's like watching Saturday Night Live and Who's Line is it Anyway? combined.
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.
