The Charles River Esplanade stretches along three miles of the beautiful Charles River and surrounding attractions. 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.

Hang out at one of the nation's oldest bars. The Warren Tavern has been serving beer since 1780 and was a favorite watering hole for historical figures like George Washington and Paul Revere. Now days, this nightlife venue doubles as a restaurant that serves up brunch, lunch, and dinner, including favorites like burgers, shepard’s pie, steak, and, of course, New England clam chowder.

Explore the beer making process at Boston's Harpoon Brewery. The brewery was the first to receive a permit to brew and package beer for sale to the public and is very proud to hold Permit No. 1. Tours take place on the weekend and include the opportunity to taste a few of the company's brews. If you'd like to forgo the tour and get straight to the beer, stop by during the week for a tasting.
