@jztusk @kristinHenry @knizer @CuriousMagpie Be cautious about the part of Boylston around Sweet Cheeks (not sure offhand about the others). It's fairly close to Fenway Park, so if there's a Red Sox home game, things may be a bit overcrowded in the area. (They're out of town at the moment but looks like they're back starting Thursday)

@kristinHenry I’m about to head to Boston for work too. In Cambridge, there’s a nice restaurant with local ingredients: https://www.altheacentralsq.com/ If you are into beer, Trillium Fort Point has a rooftop deck with good food https://trilliumbrewing.com/pages/fort-point I have a bookmarked site with outdoor places. Will reply with that.

@kristinHenry I'd highly recommend a walking tour.

@kristinHenry perhaps a little far (Cambridge) but there's this Palestinian cafe called sandals that has great food (best cheesecake i've had in a while)

@kristinHenry I've been to Boston twice for work. Food-wise, I've been very happy with my experience at the "Cambridge Common" (cambridgecommonrestaurant.com/), which had been recommended to me by my local colleagues. 😀

@kristinHenry Highly recommend Sofra: https://www.sofrabakery.com/ . It had a small number of outdoor tables the last time I was there.

@kristinHenry My two standard recommendations are: 1. The State House bulding on Beacon Hill. Seriously lovely, has guided tours. 2. Massachusetts Historical Society. Lovely Back Bay building, and they sometimes have fun things, like bag lunch talks by researchers. Check their web site. Also, check Berklee for student or other concerts.

@jztusk @allpoints @kristinHenry The original BPL building was made from granite quarried in Milford, MA - they reopened the quarries when they built the new add-on building so it could be the same stone.

@kristinHenry Restaurants have started putting their outdoor tables out. I have no specific recommendations, there. However: My favorite lesser-known thing to show folks in Boston is the Maparium at the Christian Science mother church. (No proselytizing involved). It's a map of the world made out of stained glass that you walk through. The stained glass is pretty, but the acoustics are AMAZING. https://www.christianscience.com/the-mother-church-in-boston/how-do-you-see-the-world-experience The site itself is full of gorgeous stonework and there's a nice reflecting pool there.

@kristinHenry Definitely the Gardner, but the Harvard Museum was one of the best I’ve seen. Curated magnificently.
