Things to do in Boston

View of the city skyline from Boston Harbor
Friday: Check into your hotel and grab a cocktail at the bar, taking advantage of your Food & Beverage (F&B) perks for booking with Fora! Visit the iconic Fenway Park to catch a Red Sox game and a Fenway frank. In town but the Sox aren't? The stadium offers tours when the team is out of town.
Saturday: Start your day with a coffee and pastry at either Flour Bakery or Tatte. Take a brisk walk or bike ride along The Esplanade. Window shop along Newbury Street and grab brunch at Saltie Girl before continuing through the Public Garden and Charles Street, Beacon Hill's main drag and home to many local boutiques. Take a late-day sail around Boston Harbor before grabbing a lobster roll at Row 34 and a nightcap in Boston's Little Italy, known as The North End.
Sunday: Take advantage of the rich American history and culture that Boston has to offer by walking The Freedom Trail, visiting Paul Revere's house, taking a Duck Boat Tour or throwing tea in the harbor at The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum (all are perfect for families). Make your way to the South End and meander through the South End Open Market. Grab a late lunch or early dinner at Myers and Chang. Head home and think about planning your return trip to Boston for the fall, when the foliage becomes the star of the show.
