365 Things to Do in Boston - New Tips Daily

Tomorrow is the last day to witness the wild African animals that roam the streets of Cambridge. Watch out for the lions because they are fierce! Ok, so no, you don't need to bring your bow and arrow because these animals are only as real as the paper they are drawn on, but you will definitely be impressed with the distinct detail.

“The idea of taking art to the street is what we’re trying to do,” said artist Roberta Paul, who lives in a studio in Netwonville.

"Move Me" is a pop up art project that travels the streets of Cambridge. For the past two weeks you would be lucky to get a glimpse of a wild African animal at a stop light. It has been the talk of the town all week, so make sure to take a drive or walk through Cambridge before these animals head back to the jungle (or on someone's wall.)

Don't be weary when I tell you you'll be taking a stroll around town in a D.U.C.K. Now calm down, there aren't any quackers on this tour, but you sure will be greeted by your own personal, legendary conDUCKtor.

Yes this a classic. And yes, you've heard of the Duck Tours before. But have you actually taken a ride on a duck boat?

Make like one of our championship Teams and head over for a ride!

But for those of you living under a rock and not quite sure what a Duck Tour is, here goes:

"Cruise by all the places that make Boston the birthplace of freedom and a city of firsts, from the golden-domed State House to Bunker Hill and the TD Banknorth Garden, Boston Common and Copley Square to the Big Dig, Government Center to fashionable Newbury Street, Quincy Market to the Prudential Tower, and more"

And ohhh, before I forget to tell you, you may want to bring a bathing suit because your duck for the day is going swimming! OK, so no, you aren't really going to get wet, but we all know ducks can't resist water AKA get ready to roll right into the Charles River for a breathtaking view of the Boston and Cambridge skylines! And for all of you non-swimmers, have no fear!! This duck of a ride is actually a W.W.II style amphibious landing vehicle. (cool, right?)

Hey, they said it first, so quit threatening to wash my mouth out!

If you are in for a thrilling afternoon or evening in Boston, this place is a must! For all of you gentlemen out there, if you are having trouble figuring out how to really drive your significant other crazy, then this place is a one stop tutorial! (make sure to bring your notepad!)

Make sure to keep your game face on because these waitors won't hesitate to forget that manners even exist. Their actions are distasteful, but you can't help but chuckle with confusion when your silverware is THROWN on the table, or you're ignored time and time again.

Enjoy some grub and throw back some cold one's at Dick's Last Resort in Quincy Market at Historic Faneuil Hall! If you are used to being treated with the upmost respect I wouldn't hold your breath because but these waiters are Dicks... SERIOUSLY!

I know from experience that the waitstaff never fails to inflict humor upon its' guests so what are you waiting for? Break the rules and indulge yourself in rudeness at Dick's Last Resort... not to mention they have live music every night!

Splash into Summer at the BGCB Annual Friends Council Event at the Ritz Carlton this Thursday night, June 14.

Join over 250 other young professionals for a memorable evening of dancing, music and entertainment, open bar, hors d'oeuvres, silent auction, and raffle prizes - and a special performance by Boys and Girls Club of Boston members. See the facebook event page.

It's one of the best events of the summer and supports a great cause.

Proceeds from this year's event will be used to help teach ALL children in the ten Clubs to swim. Learning to swim engages children in fitness and wellness activities, develops confidence and most importantly teaches water safety. Please support this worthwhile initiative!

The Friends Council provides professional and social networking opportunities while connecting you with others who share your desire to help urban youth.

OH MAMMA MIA!

Strap your belt buckle on tight, (you especially guys, or you may be in the next script) because this sensational broadway hit never fails to have its' audience singing and dancing in the aisles.

Sophie, the bride-to-be, wants one thing- her father to walk her down the aisle. After nosying around through her mother's diary, (hey don't act like you haven't rummaged through someone's personal information before) she realizes that her mom was quite the catch. Three's a charm right?

"A mother. A daughter. And three possible dads. A trip down the aidle you'll never forget."

Rumor has it that this ultimate feel-good show has its' audiences returning time and time again to relive the thrill, and its' countless sold out shows are proof enough. 

From June 19th through June 24th the Boston Operah House has scheduled many opportunities for locals and natives to let loose, but tickets won't last long, especially starting at only $33 dollars!(Order yours here!)

So will Sophie find her true father? I must say I do not know, but OH MAMMA MIA- i'm glad those are not my shoes to fill!!!!!

On Sunday, June 10th all local restaurants surrounding the UMass Boston Campus Center better hail or bail because these food trucks are wheelin' in quick, and taking over more than just taste buds - I guess we could say they are redefining what it means when you say "melt in your mouth."

When food trucks first started in the US they were known as “roach coaches” and people were skeptical of consuming “street meat.” But fear no longer!!

Don't ride the roach coach and get your tickets to this New England Food Truck Festival today. It may not be your traditional Sunday brunch, but this street meat sure does have quite the enticing reputation... or "that's what she said." ;)

Boston Pride Festival...a day filled with excitement!

This may not quite be New Orleans Mardi Gras, but Boston - and surrounding areas - will definitly give the South a run for their money this Saturday, June 9th from 12-3pm.

The fun starts with the parade but doesn't end at the finish line so make sure to stay and jam at City Hall Plaza.

"The Boston Pride Festival hosts an array of entertainment on its main stage. In 2012, Boston Pride is delighted to welcome Alexis Jordan, Rye Rye and Kerli as headliners on the Pride Stage!" (click here for the full line-up)

This event never fails to be anything but epic, so make sure to show up with a smile and support human rights, diversity, unity, visibility, and dignity at this sure to be, unforgetable event!

Boston Local Support; stronger than ever. Bostonians never fail to boast about the amazing city they live in, and now putting those actions into words are easier than ever. (Go big or go home, right?) This Saturday, natives and new-comers will be embracing their local brand by engaging in a a true Boston beer event.

The Sustainable Business Network of Greater Boston (SBN) realizes the growing interest and importance of local craft brews, and on Saturday, June 16th they will prove their belief and dedication through every sip of beer they have (or chug.)

"The brewfest will feature local craft brewers and highlight, promote and celebrate brews that are made with as many local crops and local ingredients as possible."

Steady yourself and entwine your lips with some of Somerville's most admired thirst quenchers. Join the adventure and mingle with locals from miles around for this brew tastin', no hatin' kind of evening... cause as you know, there's no place like home. (and of course we have each other's backs, our at least our neighbors... especially if they are making beer!!)

After a little "vacation" break (some may even say well deserved!), 365 Things to Do in Boston is back!  And better than ever!

That's right. Suit up super heros, because tonight is your night to party. Let the criminals sort things out themselves.

The people have spoken. We're getting ready for our 2nd People's Choice Crawl. RSVP here.

Every year we get dozens of suggestions for bar crawl themes. However, there just isn't enough time for us to plan for them all. So for the 2nd time, we left it up to you. We set up our poll and the results were in favor of a Super Hero Crawl.

We'll be supporting the Cradles to Crayons charity. Crawl in Boston is a social networking group that gives professionals a chance to meet new people in a casual and fun atmosphere. People of all ages have gathered to join the bar crawls, and we’ve raised money  for local charities. We also spread the word about other similar events we’ve heard about, as well as new places and bar/restaurant specials. We’re bringing people together, one drink at a time for local charities.
