Guidebook for Boston
Food Scene
Awesome tea and coffee. They have a back patio for when the weather is nice. It's one of the best cappucino's I've had in Boston (and I'm a bit of a coffee snob)

Must visit for brunch or pastries. French/Mediterranean influence. I lived in France for a year and Tatte's pastries are definitely on par with some of the flaky croissants or beautiful gateaus that I experienced there!

Kayak and canoe rentals here (about 2 miles away). Really cheap (~$20 USD per kayak per hour and they pro-rate it after the first hour) and each kayak can be used by up to 2 people. I really like paddling through the Esplanade and seeing the sailing boats go by.

Public park that is along this strip by the river. If you're a runner - I highly recommend making the trip out here to check it out or if you just want to go on a nice walk. Take the hammock and hang out for a while or grab a picnic and enjoy it on the river bank!

Arts & Culture
Super interesting exhibit curated by Isabella Stewart Gardner. There was an art heist a few years back and they never found the paintings, so there are some empty frames hanging up.

They are constantly changing. They have a huge collection and are worth a visit if you love art. I would try to attend one of the many (free!) tours they have daily to make it a bit more digestible.

Sightseeing
They have tours of the Freedom trail, but if you google it - they have a publicly available self-guided tour as well. Save yourself the money and do it on your phone.
