In November 1984, Massachusetts became the first state in the nation to implement a happy hour ban. Currently, there are eight states with similar laws, including Rhode Island and Vermont.
Everybody flocks to Newbury for the shops, but we recommend heading elsewhere in the city for better food, less crowds, and a more local experience.
If you’re determined to eat something on Newbury, make sure it’s a lobster roll at Saltie Girl!

The train that gets you around Boston is called “the T”, not the subway or the metro.
If you’re going into the city, we suggest walking, taking the T, or grabbing an Uber. Parking is a nightmare, and the city of Boston is extremely happy to dole out parking tickets.
And, it happens to be our favorite place to hang out on a summer day. Grab a blanket and some snacks and set up a picnic with friends.
Don’t walk around testing out your Boston accent or asking somebody local to say, “Park your car in Harvard Yard.” Cars aren’t even allowed there.
Only tourists refer to Boston as “Beantown”, so we’d advise leaving that one at the airport. You’d be accurate to call it “City of Champions”... but best not to parade around saying that aloud.
Head to the Charles River and rent kayaks and paddle boards for epic views of Boston and Cambridge.
Rent from Community Boating for our favorite experience on the river.
You aren’t missing anything if you skip the Cheers bar or don’t snap a photo on Acorn Street. A spot we'd recommend stopping instead: Sandwiches at Sam LaGrassa's.

Don’t skip Fenway Park just because you aren’t a Red Sox “fan”. It’s fun, easy to get to, and the perfect place to get a good sense of Boston locals. Beware: Bostonians take their sports very seriously, so we suggest root, root, rooting for the home team when you’re at Fenway.
