@kristinHenry if you’re going to the MFA, also stop in at the Gardener! Worth reading a bit about the history of the heist there too before you go. For eating outdoors, Time Out Market across the Fens is pretty good, it’s a food court with lots of outdoor seating. Northeastern campus is an arboretum, and should be less busy during summer semester, so bringing Tatte (fancy) or Wollaston’s (casual) for a picnic lunch near the koi ponds or library there would be lovely this time of year

@kristinHenry some pics of outdoor seating around Northeastern: koi pond behind Curry Student Center, plaza between Churchill Hall and Snell Engineering, courtyard behind Starbucks / Curry on the other side from the koi pond (my favorite), and I think the last one is near Mugar Life Sciences but not positive

@janeadams @kristinHenry I second the Gardener! One of my favorites in the world and just a short walk from the also great MFA!

@janeadams @kristinHenry Get tickets to the Gardner in advance. Well worth it, and kind of surrender to it not being a typical museum experience. You can read about everything in a room, and probably should at least skim so you get an idea, but you just kind of need to let it wash over you. There is A Lot there.
