Doug says, "It's well worth the trek from the city center for the tour, free beer, and keepsakes!"

Sol says, "You get to see a gorgeous part of the city and you get to see more of the city on a bike than walking or taking the T."

Jessamyn says, "Go see one of the special feature movies (like Heathers or Jurassic Park!) at Coolidge Corner Theatre."

Travis says, "Awesome museum with an always-changing roster of contemporary art and a gift shop that's worth the trip alone. The back of the museum has a huge wooden staircase that looks out over the bustling harbor. AND they serve wine. Which means you can get shit-faced and look at boats. Always fun."

Travis says, "A high-end auto museum built by a super-rich dude inside a hill (underground) in Brookline, with an amazing view of the Boston skyline. In the winter you can ice-skate outdoors or blast down the hill on a sled. I saw Tom Brady and Gisele skating here in February."

Michelle says, "It's an onslaught of tourists, but you can't beat the old historic baseball stadiums for ambiance."

Jenn says, "It's equal parts fun and a good overview of Boston."

Cara says, "I love spending a weekend afternoon at Harpoon with friends. Their beer hall has a fantastic atmosphere!"

Jillian says, "Walk through Boston Common (park/gardens) or walk along the esplanade. I love being outside and seeing how things are changing in the city."

Lindsey says, "I really like to get tattooed at Pino Bros in Cambridge. I usually go to Clover before. Why: I like getting tattooed and Clover has great food for vegetarians."
