There’s history to be enjoyed as well as the freshest local seafood. There are pocket-parks, public squares and the Arnold Arboretum to stroll or picnic. There are movies under the stars and star-studded concerts. Enjoy a Boston tradition with a spin or two around the Frog Pond.   Children will enjoy cooling off in the fountain during the summer.
