If you want to go a little off the beaten path take a harbor taxi over to the East Boston shipyards. There is lots of outdoor public art and several bars and restaurants interspersed in the shipyards and nearby Maverick square. KO pies is fun and they serve local beer on tap. There is also at least one new brewery there too.
In the same spirit a harbor taxi (or harbor ferry) can take you over to Charlestown to see the naval ships on display. Old Ironsides and corvettes etc. there are also ferries ou to the harbor islands and whale watching.
The Seaport Innovation district is also coming alive (South Boston just across the bridges at Fort Point Channel). Many new bars and restaurants and an entertainment complex (bowling alley theatres etc). Lots of street life there now too. And flagship shops much like Newbury St.
For shopping and people watching Newbury and Boylston st are great. And on the commons you can take a Swan boat ride if you’re nostalgic for history (if you have kids the make way for ducklings statues in the commons is fun too).
Boston also has a food trucks thing going on- you can google to find out which trucks are where.
There are so many things to do come to think of it! I should get off my computer and get out more!
