  • 1369 Coffee House

    Set in the somewhat detached Inman Square, this branch of 1369 has poetry readings, mellow music, and courteous staff, which give it a neighborly atmosphere.

  • Every kind of Cambridge character can be found sipping coffee and munching croissants on the plaza at Holyoke Center. Top amusement? Challenging the chess masters to a speed game.

  • Biking the Emerald Necklace

    Taking in all 6 miles (9.5 km) of the Emerald Necklace (see Boston Common & Public Garden) is best accomplished on a bicycle. The well-maintained trails lead riders from the wooded environs of Arnold Arboretum (see Arnold Arboretum) to the Back Bay Fens (see Back Bay Fens) and onward to the Public Garden (see Back Bay).

  • Dawn on the Charles River Basin sees local rowing crews taking advantage of the water’s glass-smooth stillness. By late morning, a breeze kicks up, beckoning fleets of small sailboats. When the wind diminishes toward sunset, canoeists arrive to enjoy the water’s renewed calm.

  • A Harvard Square institution, the Brattle screens cinema greats daily. Rainy afternoon? Take in a 2-for-1 Fellini double feature for a meager $7.

  • Pamplona’s strong coffee and light Spanish snacks keep the new-breed bohemians sated. The café opens and closes at the owner’s whim.

  • A popular Davis Square destination for its impeccably fresh baked goods, creative sandwiches, and view onto bustling Elm Street.

  • Clean facilities, lifeguards, and kayak rentals.

  • The subterranean epicenter of New England’s thriving folk music scene regularly welcomes nationally renowned artists. It boasts an inventive vegetarian kitchen, Veggie Planet.

  • Family friendly, with clean sand, picnic areas, lifeguards, and spectacular Boston views. (see Day Trips: The Seaside).
