Out of ideas? Here are ways to spend the day in Boston
Cool Off At One Of Boston’s Best Swimming Pools
When it comes to drowning your sorrows, most Bostonians look towards the drinkable liquids rather than the type you take a swim in. But while the dog days of summer haven’t exactly hit the city yet, there’s no denying our desire to escape the cubicle in favor of a white, sandy beach in the Caribbean. But […]

Island hopping just off the coast of Boston
If a trip to the tropics is only likely to happen in your very vivid imagination this summer, it doesn’t mean you have to put your island hopping hopes on hold. Head over to Long Wharf in Boston for a seven mile trip out to begin hopping about on Boston Harbor Islands. Their advertising slogan […]

30th Annual Cambridge River Festival
While the skies may open up and water may pour from the heavens, the folks at the Cambridge River Festival are unlikely to let it dampen their spirits. We’re New Englanders after all – hearty , rugged, and always looking for something to bitch about. If all goes well the rain will hold off as […]
Free Friday Flicks at Boston’s Hatch Shell
Free outdoor movie screenings are one of my favorite parts of summer in Boston. Even if I’ve already seen the movie, there’s something magical about watching it under the stars on a blanket.
