The Merchant

Experience an excursion in Harvard Square, a commercial and recreational center for Harvard students, city residents and visitors. Along with being a hub for arts and entertainment, and home to a number of attractions, shops, eateries, and places to stay, The Square is also a historically significant location. It was here that George Washington took command of the Continental Army, it is where the first printing press in America was located, and it has also been the grounds for many student protests – among many, many other things.

If you want to go fishing in the waters around Boston, take a trip with the salt water experts at Boston Saltwater Fishing by Bill & Jules. Stick to the Boston Harbor or venture a little further offshore; either way, you're guaranteed to fish the spots where striped bass, bluefish, flounder, and blue fin tuna hang out.

If you'd rather have your nose stuck in a book than do anything else, then the Boston Book Festival is an event just for you – but you'll have to put down what you're reading to get there. The festival features live book readings, lectures and open discussions with professional authors, and of course, books! Food and fun are also a part of the event so count yourself in on the Boston Book Festival.
