Im in Boston for work and would like to bring home cool, unique shirts as souvenirs. I am staying in Dorchester and working in Brighton.

I’m not necessarily looking for the standard “BOSTON” souvenir shirt with a shamrock on it — I want shirts from places that have some character.If the place has a cool shirt I am willing to make the trip.

Bonus points if the place is interesting and worth visiting while Im there but its not a dealbreaker if it isn’t.

Extra bonus points if the place prints their shirts on Comfort Colors.

I’d love to go home with a collection of shirts that actually have stories behind them instead of the usual airport/gift-shop souvenirs.

Hey, I’m visiting Boston in April 2027 for the Boston Marathon

I just wanted to know how’s the weather in April?
As a vegetarian or where are some cool places?
Are there any cool skate parks?

I know these are things. I can just google, but I just want to hear your opinion if you are from Massachusetts.

Planning a trip from NJ to P’town for Women’s Week.
We normally drive, but it’s just too long of a trip, so we’re looking at Train, Plane, Ferry or combo through Boston.

Does the ferry run in October?
Any suggestions?

Hi, I need some recommendations on how to spend Christmas Day in Boston. We are staying down town. Will there be any bars open or only hotels? All advice welcome!

Living in the Essex area, grew up here and have been here all my life. Looking into the gay scene around here. Kind of nervous, but want to open up a little. Are there any areas around the Essex, Middlesex and Boston areas to hang out and just meet fellow gay guys?

Thanks 😊

Hi! Booking a one night stayacation in Boston with my daughter before she returns to college. Priorities are spotless property, location, service. Having a hard time deciding between the 2 properties as they seem similar. She is 20 and I’m late 40’s. We will shop, wander the neighborhoods, grab coffee/lunch and want to get dressed up a little for an amazing dinner. We traditionally love a FS property, but The Newbury looks fun too. Help me decide!

I'm driving a U-Haul van from Washington, DC to Cambridge, MA over two days and would appreciate advice from people familiar with the route on how to minimize the trip length and avoid heavy traffic.

My current plan:
- Leaving DC around 10:30–11:00 AM
- Prefer Day 1 to be the longer driving day
- Plan to leave the overnight stop around 7/8 AM

I'm currently considering stopping in Danbury, CT as the overnight stop, near I-84 Exit 8. Does this make sense? Or would you recommend stopping farther east (e.g. Hartford or Sturbridge) or farther west?

Thanks!

visiting boston tomorrow with my best friend (both female mid 20s) we’re taking the train so looking for some things to do on foot. we’ve both never been to the area, i like history and she likes shopping, so any local recommendations would be appreciated!!

This is a toughy for me to write. I want to see if any other girls/ women had a similar experience and know who this guy is.

About 10 years ago, I had an interaction with some guy who claimed to be a photographer. He also told me he was a lawyer and lived in/ near Boston. He ended up harassing me to a serious extent. We only talked via email and text. He had a pretty wishy washy photographer site as well- featuring only girls in bikini pics or sexy shoots. I had this link at the time, but again- this was over a decade ago.

I don’t feel comfortable going into details, but I would not post this here unless I felt it was serious enough. For description, this was about 2015. He was a heavy set dude, I believe he was young 50s at the time, and came with all the equipment. I believe he had 2 white large soft boxes for lighting and a few different lenses/ cameras. And again, that he was from Boston and was a lawyer. Although, the lawyer part could’ve been a lie. This is the only info I have on him.

Hi all. My wife and I (30) are currently living in East Boston, MA. We absolutely love the neighborhood. We both grew up in the suburbs and have always thought we'd move there to raise our kids.

We have looked at suburbs and the prices are expensive, but doable. The issue we are having is are the taxes in these towns worth it?

Lately we have been contemplating just upgrading in the city and raising our kids here. I am looking for advice from people who have raised their families here or grown up in the city.

Pros we see:

Diversity, plenty to do in the city, walkable, healthier lifestyle, cheaper, easier to save.

Cons we see:

What if kids don't get into test in schools, missing out on the suburban house and yard, long commute for kids to school.

Just looking for insight and thoughts!

Hello to all BoSox fans and those who live in the area, or have experience traveling to Boston,

Wife and I are thinking of visiting Boston and maybe attend a BoSox playoff game. Is there any sneaky good cheap hotels nearby Fenway? How is the area nearby Fenway? Is there things to do and walk around?

Hi! Visiting early October for the first time with our 2 kids (6 and 2). Thoughts on staying in Copley Square vs. Seaport? Wanting to hit the usual Duck Boat, Freedom Trail, Fenway, Boston Commons, Aquarium, Tea Party Museum. ChatGPT keeps trying to sell me on the Seaport Hotel but in my mind staying in Copley makes more sense to be walkable to most of this?

Hello!

I use a wheelchair and coming to boston for work/pleasure. I'll be put up in a hotel near the airport. I was wondering what there is to do not far from there? or via transit? are there subways from the airport?

I am very interesting in:

-- Social: where can I meet people? bonus points for kinky people. I wanna be silly. No one's gonna know me, so I'll just be my self lol.

-- Music: I love jazz and especially blues

-- I'll be there for 3 days, any tips of things to do and see?

-- IRL friendship! if anyone here wants to hangout, let me know! I'd love to meet locals. I'm a canadian dude and I'm a huge music lover and cinephile

thanks for your time! cheers
