Guidebook for Boston
Entertainment & Activities
Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, is one of the top destinations for locals and visitors to Boston. The park opened in 1912, and is the oldest park in major league baseball. If you're in Boston while the Red Sox are home during the season or post-season from April to October, it's great to catch a game, but if they happen to be out of town, or it's off season, a tour of the park is definitely a great take as well. The tour guides are knowledgeable and you get to see a lot of the park, including the press box.
Convenient by public transportation taking Blue Line (Maverick stop) to Green Line (transfer at Government Center), exit at Kenmore Square

Arts & Culture
This unique museum houses the eclectic collection of heiress Isabella Steward Gardner. The highlight is the beautiful, tranquil courtyard at the center of the building. The collection features pieces from many eras and locations, including Roman, medieval, Egyptian, Dutch painters, Impressionist, and more. This is the museum where 13 works of art, including works by Rembrandt, totally over $500 million were stolen and not yet recovered. The museum is offering a $10 million reward for information leading to the recover of the stolen art, so you could work on that while in Boston! If you're an art lover, the Museum of Fine Arts is right next door.

There are so many amazing restuarants in the North End, but Mamma Maria's is a classic and gets everything right. The menu changes daily based on what's fresh and in season. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive, and the setting is cozy, but can accomodate larger parties of 8 - 12 or even larger in small private rooms. Great for a date night or special event.
