    What to do in a city

    I'm going to Boston for the next few years to work on my PhD, and everybody I tell that to has the same reaction:

    "omg Boston that'll be so much fun there's so much to do you'll have a blast"

    Most of the time they leave out the specifics. But in all honesty, what is there to do in a city that does not include

    - Alcohol
    - Spending money
    - People

    I feel like this community may be able to relate to my sentiments better than my IRL friends would.

      When in doubt and/or out of ressources : TripAdvisor / Boston for free / 3 days in Boston

      Never went there, but I would like to.

              I don't know about Boston, but in Chicago there are nice bike paths? Maybe just one that I can think of...The path that goes down the lakeshore. If you have a bike, maybe you can go biking! (But then again, I don't know if there are any good bike trails around there).

                  check out the museum of science, it's really cool (you'll have to pay an entrance fee, but mostly everything else is free). i have been there many times myself since i only live ~40 minutes from boston.

                              Sporting events, live shows (music, theatre), museums, art galleries, aquarium, annual events (eg: pax east), historic places, unique clubs and lessons that small cities won't have...you could probably spend every evening doing something different.

                                  IMO Boston is pretty boring compared to many other big cities. I only went there for Pax East + a few famous restaurants. Everything closes so damn early and there isn't a whole lot of epic scenery or anything. It's clean, I guess. There are a couple cool museums.

                                  Cities can get pretty lonely unless you're with the right people, then everything is pretty fun no matter what you're doing. Personally, I'm always on the prowl for interesting/new places to try food.

                                  But someone who's actually from Boston will be able to give more specific advice -- YMMV.

                                      go to Cheers where everybody knows your name

                                                  Go see a play, go shopping, go on a day trip, visit a museum, there's plenty to do, you just have to look for it.

                                                  And make sure your room has a bathtub; it'll help.
