365 Things to Do in Boston - New Tips Daily

Can't think of anything to do today? Well today is your lucky day! It is Free Fun Friday at the Sport Museum! Don't know what the sports museum is? Well you must not be from Boston then - so here is a little summary... The concept of a sports museum has pretty much been thought of by every sports fan who ever lived in New England. Nowhere else in the country is the passion for sports so intense, the tradition as deep, or the shared experience as broad. In fact if you ask many of your local Boston taxi drivers they will tell you "A sports museum in Boston is like an art museum in Paris." So don't take yourself out to the ball game today folks, cause today is the day to jump into history, and not into your wallets.

Can't make it today? Well view their schedule and plan a trip to get your much needed Bostonian sports fix!

So if you are anything like me, you are as inartistic as humanly possible. As if stick figures aren't already hard enough to draw, it doesn't make it any better when your best friend graduated college with a degree in art. So now that we're on the same page (don't worry, I won't tell you can't color in the lines either), head over to the Museum of Bad Art. They have three locations and no matter which one you go to, you are bound to leave saying only one thing, "well that made me feel better, whoever drew that should probably reconsider ever picking up a paint brush again." True story folks... check it out.

And when you leave, give yourself a pat on the back- nooooooo, not for being better than them, but for not letting them find your recent sketches.

When I visited, the garden it was bursting with coneflowers and black-eyed Susans. I could hear mockingbirds and mourning doves in the trees. It’s partly enclosed by red brick buildings, but somehow, it doesn’t matter. You can go there and lie in the grass for hours, but don't stay for too long. There is a small but extremely devoted band of park users who would rather keep the place to themselves. :)

At 4 Cambridge Center, Kendall Square... check it out. 

Uncle Murray is coming over for dinner, but there's no food in sight! A young man's search for a family recipe ends up bringing folk tales to life...in his kitchen.

The Harpoon Brewery -and being dead serious you guys - is a fun and interesting tour. You get to taste the beer at various stages in the brew process (sounds risky, right?). Lucky for you, Harpoon Beers each have their own individual characteristics in terms of taste, color and body. Their goal is to make beers that are distinctive and, most importantly, a pleasure to drink. Well, if you ask me, the raspberry beer was outstanding. Delicious actually. And since I have been, and am in a pretty good mood, I will actually give you a pointer. THE LITTLE BROWN JUG! Yes, it's obnoxious, but you get free refills! So what's so special about this place? Well, i'm not quite too sure, but I do know that everyone I have ever ran into in Boston has been there so get on it if you haven't been yet. And oh yeah - BY THE WAY- be sure to get tickets early because they typically sell out by noon.

Life in Synergy in Back Bay is an amazing gym. Not only because it is the floor below my office, (I mean, the closer to me the better... duh..) but because you can literally turn your body into a remixed superstar diva in half the time.

Knowledge, expertise and positive energy are in abundance with these instructors,and they make each class extremely fun, and challenging beyond belief.

They have been recognized by the Boston Globe, countless news stations, and were voted "Best of Boston" in 2010. 

So what do you have to lose? THAT MUFFIN TOP!!! So sign up today and get a free class- plus almost half the price for your first ten classes :)
