Boston in 2 Days
Boston is very much a walking city. There are many beautiful places to visit, and it's great you can take a day to walk the city or rent a bike. I feel like even though it was a very short weekend, there was still enough time to see and do a lot around the city. Here's my recap below:
Day 1
-Breakfast: The Friendly Toast
*Highly recommend the "Taco After Party"
-Sites: Window Shopping on Newbury Street
*There's a Harry Potter Store! It's called The Fairy Shop!
*The stores along Newbury Street have so much charm!
-Sites: Walking through the Boston Public Garden and the Boston Common
-Sites: Acorn Street and Beacon Hill
-Sites: Harvard Yard and Harvard Square
*This is the only Curious George Store in the world! The authors used to live in Harvard Square!
-Dinner: Thelonious Monkfish, Cambridge
*Swanky Asian Fusion Restaurant with live Jazz music! It was so fun and delicious.
Day 2:
-Breakfast: Quincy Market
-Sites: The Freedom Trail
-Snacked: The North End
-Sites: The Mapparium
Being a lover of travel, when I found out about the Mapparium, it was on the top of my list of places to see while in Boston. The Mapparium is a 3 story tall stained glass replica of the globe. It's an accurate depiction of what the world looked like when it was made in 1935. Now at the library, you can take a quick tour that includes narration, LED lights and music to show how the world has changed throughout the years. No photos are allowed inside the the Mapparium, but I happened to accidentally sneak a photo. The tour is quick and it's easy to find tickets. I highly recommend going if you are in Boston.
-Sites: Fenway Park Red Sox vs. Orioles
Though it was quick, my trip to Boston was so much fun. I was able to see, do and eat a ton! I hope to go back soon! If you have any tips for other "must-see" sites or food recommendations. Please comment below!
