465 Huntington AveYou won't find a museum like this anywhere else. Everything was purposefully curated and set up with the approval of the late Isabella Stewart Gardner. The courtyard is spectacular. I highly recommend going to the free 30 minute tour that tells you the incredible story behind the woman who built this museum.

Food Scene
My favorite restaurant by far, and it's only a 5 minute WALK from my place! Really inventive middle eastern fusion cuisine. Also gets crowded, usually requires a reservation on weekends, though walk-in communal tables are available if you are willing to wait. Only open for dinner.
