Things To Do
Boston Common Frog Pond
During the winter months—typically November to March—the most popular spot in the nation’s oldest park, Boston Common, is the Frog Pond skating rink. Skating on the Frog Pond is a beloved wintertime tradition for Boston ice skaters of all ages. Bring your own skates or rent some at the concession stand. Lessons for all are available, as well as several seal-shaped skating aids for children. A café and free WiFi are also available at this popular Boston attraction.
The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
The MFA is one of the most comprehensive art museums in the world with a collection that encompasses nearly 500,000 works of art.
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Deanna's favorite museum in Boston! Isabella's private collection with an amazing indoor garden. Also the location of the biggest art heist (still unsolved)!!!
Taza Chocolate Factory Tours
Mexican-style stone ground chocolate factory! Check out the website for tour information!
Samuel Adams Boston Brewery - Jamaica Plain
A Boston must-visit spot! Deanna worked at the Boston Beer Company (Sam Adams) corporate office after college! Tickets needed and they fill up quickly!
The Beehive - Live Music
Live music late night! Good food and drinks, too! Reservations recommended. Walk-ins are permitted but usually a long wait!
Newbury Street Shopping District
Shopping, cute places to eat, and a very Bostonian experience even if you're just window shopping. Start on the East side of the street near the public garden and go into Valentino and Tiffany's and just pretend you're going to buy a bunch of stuff -- it's so fun (according to Deanna)! The West side of the street has more normal people stores like Uniqlo and Nike! All of the cross streets are in alphabetical order!
Trident Booksellers & Cafe - Great for quirky gifts!
One of Boston's few independent bookstores. A must-visit if you walk down Newbury Street!
View Boston Observatory at The Prudential Center
360 degree views of Boston from the very center of it all! Newly opened in 2023, View Boston offers Bistro and Small-Plates dining experiences, also. Tickets needed for admission.
The Last Drop
The only bar in Oak Square and the location where we met! This dive bar is definitely not worth your time or the uber ride to get there, but if you stop by, be sure to say hi to the bartenders, Eric and Ashley!
