Lobster sandwich & seafood chowder - perfect (!!!) for a rainy or sunny afternoon stroll in Cambridge. Close to Whole Foods & sit by the river if the picnic table isn’t your scene!
Awesome lobster roll, taste really fresh
Get to the pond on a sunny day with a friend, your dog, your bike, or by yourself, and take a walk/run/ride around the 3 mile oasis. Then end your trip with a picnic overlooking the park!
Absolutely beautiful walk around a quiet lake, especially at sunset!
For people that dont live in Cambridge and need to park, buy a $0.79 cent bottle of water at Whole Foods and use their parking lot. Take that parking stingy Cambridgians!
Excellent lunch spot on a sunny day with picnic tables big enough for 8 and benches. Exit the west door of the cafeteria, then take the stairs/elevator in the parking garage to the top.
Bring a sweetie to relax in the peaceful garden on top of the city
Thank Google for stealing half of it.
Stylish and well curated wine / beer / provisions shop in Central Square. Give them 24 hours notice and you can rent an expertly-stocked picnic basket. And do not miss the Mast Brothers chocolate bars
The picnic basket ROCKS! Everything u need for a great afternoon including cheeses, meats, jams, olives, bread, btld water, and wine or beer all packed into a basket with everything you need. Do it!
Great selection of wine and knowledge to explain it. Also lots of excellent beers.
Best cornichons in town! Used to love to buy them with a loaf, cheese, salami, chocolate, and fresh ground coffee!! Makes a perfect picnic... And pick-me-up when you get home.
Split one of the delicious (and huge) sandwiches from the deli with a friend at a sidewalk table. Great people-watching.
They have a really good selection of imported chocolates and other gourmet items. It's the only place I can get Timtams and really good Jamon Serrano.
View is pretty nice! Relax and take in the vibe of beantown!
Lovely relaxing walks with great views of the city.
A river that always reflects the exact mood you happen to be in.
A bit of a hidden jewel by the MoS. A pedestrian bridge connects it to Paul Revere Park (by way of a plaza beneath the Zakim!) for easy access to Charlestown & the North End. Plus: space for kayaking!
There is a dog water fountain in the playground
Plenty of wide, wide open space that is seldom crowded, making it ideal for an impromptu informal wiffle ball game.
Great place to bring a lunch during the spring/summer. Lots of picnic tables and benches.
Lots of benches and tables
Came to read but all the kids are harshing my vibe. Not a kid hater, but not exactly a peaceful place to chill
Great playground for kids in a beautiful setting
Watch out for ghosts.
Be sure to stop in Nubar in the Commander Hotel for a drink or dinner. Its the best neighborhood restaurant in the area plus they have outside seating.
Balloons and picnic benches. Great food, too casual for the prices.
Cherrystone clams FTW. Try to come on a 2 for 1 day and it'll be one of the best deals around. A great way to sit out the Rt. 2 traffic!
Show your MBTA Charlie Card at any Summer Shack and get a free cup of clam chowdah or a free soft serve ice cream with a purchase of an entree.
Get the Atomic Meatloaf. Highly recommend (as did the waiter) to get the hot sauce on the side. Delicious but very hot. Also try the hushpuppies!
Try the poutine
Atomic meatloaf fool
