My Top 5 Things You HAVE To Do While Visiting Beantown

Fenway Park

The iconic home of the Boston Red Sox.

You can't visit Boston during baseball season and not attend a Red Sox game at major league baseball's oldest ballpark. Home of the iconic Green Monster, Fenway is all about the experience of Boston spirit. Walking up and down Jersey street just outside of Fenway, you can stop at stands to get a bratwurst, but once inside the ballpark, it's necessary to try the famous Fenway Frank. One last tip before you buy your Red Sox tickets is to make sure you know every word to "Sweet Caroline," it will definitely be played during the game!

Faneuil Hall

Faneuil Hall is a well-known marketplace that has shops and dining. There are many different pubs and restaurants including Durgin-Park which is one of Boston's oldest restaurants and serves New England clam chowder and Boston baked beans. Inside the Quincy Market is the largest food hall in New England if you're looking for a quick bite. Many people visit because of the experience and how unique it is, there are street performers every day, musicians and even magicians.

Newbury Street

Newbury Street is known for its historic architecture.

Probably my personal favorite out of these 5 amazing spots in Boston is Newbury street. An iconic, street in Boston, there's definitely something for everyone. There's eight blocks filled with beautiful storefronts, little boutiques, amazing dining, salons, high end shops, bakeries, and much more. It is a perfect spot for a spending spree or a girl's trip. The historic architecture is sure to amaze tourists from all over, and the pretty street will have them coming back for more later.

Lawn On D

Looking to spice up your Instagram feed? Look no further because Lawn on D is the perfect spot to take a unique picture. Lawn on D is an open space that is open during designated public hours but can also be rented out for special events. What makes this spot so unique is that it is a grassy spot in South Boston with great food, and outdoor games like bocce, corn hole, and ping-pong. There are scheduled movie showings and musical performances which draw in large crowds. It's also known for its large white o-shaped swings, that are perfect for an Instagram picture. Many families living in the city use this space, but it's also a great hangout spot for younger people. Possibly the best thing about the lawn is that entrance is free!

New England Aquarium

The aquarium is a great spot for families.

Last but not least is the aquarium. Located close to Faneuil Hall is the New England Aquarium. It is a great spot for families and kids of all ages. The aquarium is home to the largest sting ray and shark touch tank exhibit on the East Coast, making it extremely popular with tourists. Other exhibits that have been my favorites include the large penguin exhibit that is home to penguins from around the globe.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
