Wine connoisseurs, get your tickets to Chef Daniel Bruce's Boston Wine Festival, one of the nation's longest-running wine events. This isn't your typical, two-day festival; the festival spans three and a half months and hosts a few events each week. The 23-year-old event features wine tastings, paired with signature dishes created by Chef Bruce. Throughout the history of the Boston Wine Festival, the menu has never been repeated.

The Black Rose is the best place to grab a pint in Boston. Touted as the city's premier Irish pub, the Black Rose offers traditional Irish cuisine and beverages. Enjoy favorites like fish n' chips and corned beef along with a pint of Guinness or the bar's own sangria. This popular nightlife hangout also features live music 7 nights a week.

Watch the opening battle of the American Revolution take place right before your eyes at Minute Man National Historical Park. This hallowed ground is where the war began and where it is relived through reenactments. These demonstrations aren't the only things to do at the park though; explore the visitors center, walk down Battle Road Trail, check out the Hartwell Tavern and The Wayside and other park attractions.
