Traveling to Boston

Check out Cape Cod. By September most of the tourists have left so it shouldn't be so crowded and the weather should still be OK. I recommend Falmouth down on the south end of Cape Cod or Chatham and the National Seashore on the eastern edge.

 

Make sure to stand up at Fenway and yell, "Nomar (pronounced 'Nomah') is wicked good" over and over. The fans will love you there if you do that.

 

Go get a lobster roll at Pauli's (next door to Neptune). They jam pack it with so much lobster. https://www.yelp.com/biz/paulis-boston

Mike's Pastry is overrated.

 

Driving IN Boston is even a bigger nightmare WITH a GPS. Boston streets take every form other than straight, and that coupled with tall buildings means that a GPS will fail to register the correct street that you are on. I'd rather drive in Manhattan.

But it's worth it........awesome city (just not to drive in unless you've been there a while).

 

[BUMP]

I’ll be headed to Boston the first week of September. Already got tickets to the Sox and Yankees game. Looking for recommendations on the best area to stay and any other recommendations as far as food, entertainment, experiences, etc.

Thanks in advance!

 

I am in Boston for the day and I have to say, not a fan. We walked the Freedom trail which was neat. But I am not sure how I feel about a city where a 1/3 of the people are wearing a shirt or sweatshirt with the city’s name emblazoned on it.
The homeless seemed extra aggressive and it seemed like a lot of mental illness. People just randomly being yelled at. Including me.

This seems like a place you would go for college or grad school but not stay for long after.

 

why are they like this? I’d echo the ******* part.
