WagnasTI'm stuck in Bostin for 12 hours, what should I do?
For clarification i’m seriously asking for suggestions, your responses don’t have to be serious though.
I just passed the odd looking MLK memorial, that thing is HUGE!
found the greenway, grass seems greener here than back home. looking forward to starting my new job here.
The freedom trail?
sound good, i’ll check it out.
Don’t have a destination in mind,. Just pick a direction and go
candyman337I hear they do a marathon thing there at some point
It’s in April. OP just missed it.
Was a joke
Tours of Fenway Park are cool even if you don’t like baseball. Good food in the area, too. Go to tasty burger for lunch.
nice, i think baseball is nice in moderation. I’m wearing white socks, am i in danger?
Keep pointing it out to the tour guide, Im sure they’ll both love and appreciate the joke for the 10,000th time that day.
Seconded. When I go to a Red Sox game, I park a mile or so away and walk to it; partially for cheaper parking, but also because I think the area surrounding is cool. The sights, smells and sounds of Yawkey Way right around the park are also amazing; though I’m sure I have plenty of nostalga baked into that.
wazoobonkerbrainI’m stuck in Bostin for 12 hours, what should I do?
Learn how to spell it.
Learn how to not be a douche
mihntI mean, realistically that's mild compared to what some Bostonians would say if they saw them spell it that way.
This isn’t Boston or Reddit. No reason for people to be inflammatory
You're right. Forgot sarcasm isn't allowed here.
You gotta remember the new generations never got to fight as kids, so they didn’t develop empathy, and cannot utilize the theory of mind necessary to understand sarcasm.
I worked at a brain trauma ward in Boston. I was running a study there so I wasn’t really on the staff.
One of the patients was missing a portion of his skull. He’d tilt his head and it would slosh like a waterbed.
He told me he’d been hit in the head with a metal pipe by a stranger … during the celebrations after the Red Sox won some championship.
So that should give you an idea about what Boston is like.
Oh my god that is so fucking awful.
My friend had a friend, he was cycling down the road and somebody whacked him in the head with a bar. He suffered brain damage and succumbed to alcoholism and eventually suicide. This world sucks so bad.
Life is a minefield.
I wanna walk it all night long
Now now, thorbot. No need for vulgarity.
fair, i plan to move here so i guess i should figure that one out, lol
Look up activities on trip advisor, lots of good info there
RanchOnPancakesGo yell obscenities at Paul Revere’s house for waking people up in the middle of the night.
These words are accepted!
Oh sweet! Just what I’ve always wanted, a Shard Shovel!
Life before death!
i found the pig slide, time to become awesome!
The Museum of Science.
The USS Constitution.
nice, i can walk there. google maps kept trying to make me take the ferry this morning from the airport but i eventually stumbled onto the blue line and got across.
Puttshack is kind of fun - sort of like a combination of mini-golf and bowling. (better with a group of drunk friends though)
Harvard Square's got a bunch of nice museums and bookstores and restaurants and such, and it's pretty empty at the moment because we're past peak tourist season but the kids haven't come back yet. Brattle is showing "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" if you're a fan of second-tier Tarantino movies.
If you’re a beer person, I highly recommend parking near Citizen Publick House.
Pig slide?
OctarineYodaI presume he means the big slide in the new playground at government center. Adults keep going down and getting tossed, a video of a cop doing it went viral this week: wwlp.com/…/viral-video-shows-boston-cop-injuring-…
Ohhhhh. Ok that does look fun.
i didn’t get near those speeds, must need to have your boots licked or something
Visit the exterior Cheers location.
Get lunch and a pint at the cheers pub!
SanguineParMakin’ your way in the world today…
Lots of things listed that, while fun, are pretty touristy. As a local I feel like I avoid those areas but here’s some food/drink spots you might check out:
Seaport: Drink - I haven’t been here since COVID and some staff changes. But used to be a great bar. $$$$ Bar Taco - these are apparently a chain, but pretty good food $$ Row34 - Great seafood. But expensive $$$$$
Back Bay Area: Faccia A Faccia
- great pasta. Close enough to the airport. Around round a bunch of shopping if you want touristy things after $$$
- Bar Paloma in the basement has great drinks and staff. $$$ Hecate
- bar with great drinks. $$$$$
Cambridge (Harvard/MIT area): Take the red line toward Harvard/MIT. Hop off at Central and walk either direction. Pammys - really good food $$$$ Little Donkey - also great food $$$
Brookline: Go check out Coolidge Corner. Bunch of local shops and some food. Take the Green Line (C branch) towards Cleveland Circle and exit at Coolidge Corner
Fenway: I will second that Tasty Burger is amazing. There is also a couple cool museums around there. The MFA and the Isabella Stewart Gardner.
Stop what you’re doing and make a reservation at Carmelina’s in the north end. The pasta there is life changing.
👍Maximum Derek👍Assuming you have to get from and to Logan to do your activities: leave any driving to Bostonians or it’ll be the worst 12 hours of your life.
been walking everywhere, the blue line being free at the moment is awesome though
Go to Fanueil Hall get some food and people watch.
infyrinGo around saying “BAHSTAN” to piss natives off for fun.
Pahk the Ka in the havahd yahd
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 🏆Is this not how they sound? My god father is from Boston and he really does have that accent. It was quite exotic as a kid; for some reason I thought he was from Australia.
Visit the Brattle bookshop
You can edit titles on Lemmy, friend
i thought i did, is it still showing wrong on your end?
It’s all good now. I was able to see the edit note in the post body, but the title was still with the misspell, so I thought you assumed editing works the same as on Reddit
Tea party?
how did i not think of this??? I did get a boston creme donut though.
Go have a beer at Cheers.
Go apartment hunting and be amazed that Boston has the 2nd highest avg 1br rent in the country
yeah, going to shop a bit farther out and commute.
EhListThere’s a massive group of renters whose parent’s wallets drive the market there.
