It's easy, and only takes a few moments.My late great Mama Cat was raised in Lexington.A visit to Lexington (Green) and Concord (North Bridge), with a walk or bike ride down the Battle Road. They are low-key but thoroughly enjoyable places, and lest we forget (as fans of the Patriots), the sites of (arguably) the first battles in the first ever revolution in the world that established a true democratic republic.
If you decide to go outside of Boston south to say the Newport area remember you'll be wading through rich snobs and girls named Millicent and Lady (who never ever remove their white gloves) and guys named Charles Gordon Walter Smythe (mummy's family name) Hoshposhington IV (whose parents call Skippy) and Joker.Thanks to everyone for all the feedback so far. Keep it coming.
RI is definitely underrated. Great beaches and restaurants. But, the idea that Boston is overrated is laughable. It's arguably America's greatest city.Boston is overrated. Go to Newport, RI instead. So much history, beautiful scenery, great food, and the Naval War college and museum....so like real Navy.
(About an hour and 15 minute ride from Boston).

Or, there's alway the lovely cities by the sea north of Boston like Portsmouth, NH and Portland, ME (where you will find some decent local breweries and coffee roasting places with one or two local swipsters - yeah, sweaty hipsters).
If you're into ponds, two of the most famous ones in America are located right here in New England. There is Walden Pond (and Walden Woods project where you won't run into Thoreau but you could run into Don Henley) in Lincoln, MA and just a bit further, On Golden Pond (up in NH - Squam Lake) with lots of loons and also water fowl.
Or you could venture to historical places like Salem, MA where you can see the House of the Seven Gables (Hawthorne, it's also his birthplace), Peabody Essex (best art museum in New England), a fabulous Maritime museum (Salem Maritime National Historic Site (U.S. National Park Service)) and museums about an actual witch hunt.
Finally, if you do venture to Lexington/Concord there is also Ralph Waldo Emerson's House, Louisa May Alcott's House and and the Concord Museum (basically a museum on transcendentalism and minute men). After you wake from your nap....
Have a great trip!
Tried it last year the night before a half marathon (didn't eat). Very pleasing place.If anyone heads up to Portland ME, I highly recommend stopping at the Great Lost Bear on Forest ave. It's a unique Tavern that has approximately 100 microbrews on tap and if you do go I would also highly recommend their buffalo chicken sandwich.

LOL, I've been to 45 of the 50 states, and every continent except Asia and Antarctica. Try another strategy.LMAO.....you need to travel way more than you do. There is no way that Boston is America's greatest city. I've traveled all over the USA for work and I can think of 3 cities off the top of my head that are better than Boston....NYC (sorry, it isn't close), DC, and Chicago. Only people from Massachusetts think Boston is America's greatest city. Ask people outside of Mass, and they might not even mention Boston in their top 10. Heck, if they live outside this country, they might not even know that Boston exists. But I guarantee you that they know about NYC.
