Boston | 3-Day Travel Guide

Just drove from New Jersey to Boston for a short trip—3.5 hours by car! 🚗 First impressions: less crowded, clean, quiet, rich in culture, compact yet photogenic, and… freezing! 🥶 (As Southerners, we rarely see snow!) We kept it simple and relaxed—no marathon sightseeing—just explored downtown mostly on foot. Day 1 Took the subway (so much cleaner than NYC! 🚇) Brunch at Ogawa Coffee ☕ Explored Quincy Market + lobster roll 🦞 Visited the New England Aquarium 🐠 (so cute! Last time I was here in elementary school) Evening visit to Boston Public Library 📚 Dinner: Zhì Wèi Beef Noodles (portion was small 😅) + $1 oysters at Publico 🦪 Day 2 Slept in 😴 → late start Explored Prudential Center → Skywalk Observatory for 360° city views + sunset 🌆 (breathtaking!) Dinner at Atlantic Fish Company 🍴 (lobster risotto was a highlight—make reservations!) Day 3 Brunch at Tatte 🥐 Took a taxi to Beacon Hill + visited a Jellycat store 🧸 (so popular—people kept asking where we bought them!) Walked the Freedom Trail (follow the red bricks! 🧱)→ chilled in the park watching squirrels 🐿️ Quick warm-up stop at McDonald’s 🍟 North End: Dessert at Bova’s Bakery 🍪 + lobster pasta at Daily Catch 🍝 (must-try! Cash only—they even give wet wipes for messy hands) Teamwork made it smooth: I planned, my partner navigated! 👫 Drove back in a snowstorm—first time driving long-distance in snow ❄️→ ended the trip with music and happy memories! #USTravel #EastCoast #BostonTravel #BostonFood #BostonSpots #USRoadTrip
