Oldest public garden in the United States. Great place for a date.
Sit on the benches by the pond during the day with a good book. And enjoy a lovely picnic at night with some hot tea. The public garden is truly one of the most beautiful places in Boston.
make sure to take the time to walk through the Gardens. We were there in early May and the trees were blossoming, the tulips were up. Beautiful
I go to TD Garden for the Bruins! Everyone who works there is super nice, you get some free stuff. Any seat in the lower level is great! Food is a little expensive but I feel like that's expected.
I love to sit up close for hockey games but at TD Garden, go for the slightly higher seats. Much better view of the action!

Cool to just walk around when the weather's nice. They also have a community garden that looks pretty impressive. My landlady feeds birds there too.
There's two trails around the resevoir: 1 gravel path immediately surrounding the reservoir, and another paved path that follows along at street level. Both are excellent running paths
