For a more upscale meal, check out Pagu, and inventive Spanish-Japanese tapas restaurant that's very close by in a beautiful, lofty space. Get a seat at the chef's table for an intimate look into the kitchen. The oxtail fritters and the oyster bao are amazing, and you can also get the best bowl of ramen in Boston.

This is a pricier establishment, but it has a charming outdoor patio and Turkish-inspired food that you can't get anywhere else. I like the somewhat more casual offshoot, Sarma (in Somerville), a tad more, but many people swear by Oleana! The vegetarian tasting menu (mezze) is a great way to try the food and can be split between two people.

Open 24 hours a day, this vegetarian eatery is casual, fun, and delicious. Get popovers in the morning or chickpea fritters for lunch. There's a reason Clover is spreading rapidly throughout the Boston area!

This farm features lots of animals (and baby animals in the spring!) as well as hayrides and a hidden field in the back that is great for its views of stunning blue skies. Meandering around the walking paths is a great way to spend a morning.

Arts & Culture

Boston's Museum of Fine Arts is a treasure. It may not be as big as New York's Metropolitan, but it holds its own and if you love art, you'll love the MFA.

Entertainment & Activities

This is a kid's dream come true - bubbles, construction sites, blocks, rivers, climbing structures, so much fun! Parking in this area is expensive, so taking the Red Line to South Station and walking is recommended.
