Everyone should spend time in Boston/Cambridge at some point in their 20's and here's why: - Boston is on par with the best European cities in walkability. It's possible to walk all of the city in one day and at any given place, you're a 5-10 minute walk away from a park or public square. - On average, Bostonians heavily index on intellectual curiosity. Boasting universities like Harvard, MIT, Northeastern, BU and BC across the street from each other, it is truly a college town. - I'd dare anyone to tell me Boston isn't beautiful after they walk down the Esplanade during the summer or after they see the view of the city skyline from Memorial Drive. - I think food's amazing in every city, but nowhere else has pizza like Pinocchios(yes I'm looking at you New York). Walk into Pinocchios and the pictures on the wall remind you that you're sharing the space that fed people like Zuckerberg, Matt Damon, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ben Affleck. - The T(train) will take you anywhere you want in and outside of the city. It's certainly not as crowded as New York and much easier to navigate. - Boston in the Fall is the most optimal season/city combination. It's brisk enough to start layering but not cold enough where you don't want to go outside. Not to mention, it is absolutely beautiful. Just take a look at this view! Maybe I'm biased because I grew up here(and I definitely am), but to anyone who might disagree, tell me the next time you're in Boston and I promise you'll leave thinking about the next time you come back.
