We’ve got tickets to the 23rd! Here’s the kicker… my mom is a Habs fan. yes, we are scared of bruins fans LOL but she also likes the bruins, and my aunt who just passed was a huge bruins fan, so she’s wearing a bruins jersey for her. (And also maybe our safety… lol?)

This is great info. We’re coming from Atlantic Canada so we’re used to cold but weren’t quite sure how Boston winter is comparable! I’ve always heard it’s frigid cold

I’ll have to do some research on this. This sounds wild but we don’t have Uber or Lyft or trains or anything like that in our neck of the woods so I want to be confident I can use them before I rely on them.

She LOVES touristy things, lol. She is 100% an excited “taking a picture with an iPad” mom. When we went to LA her favorite part was the walk of fame, which couldn’t have been any more cringy tourist. So I’m actually GLAD to hear this haha. She’ll love it. Thanks so much! We’ll add that food Hall to the list as well because traveling and food is big on my list.

Thank you! The museums didn’t come up at all in my searches shockingly. Shopping indoors makes a lot of sense that time of year, adding Copley to the list!

I’ve been googling but there’s so much info, I’d rather here right from the source. Who knows their city better than you guys right. We’re in town for three days; basically staying smack between TD garden and Quincy market. first day I’m hoping to make a reservation at tavern on the park (I think that’s the name, the one right beside td garden) and then the game.
The next day is wide open , but she’s always wanted to go to Quincy market so I’m thinking after grabbing coffee we’ll have lunch there.
She’s a senior so walking for long periods would be hard for her, but we’re going to take lots of breaks and if need be use public transport. (Basically why I picked the hotel I did, it’s close to the two things she wants to do most)
She basically really loves coffee and people watching, a bit of shopping (not high end) and easy pub food. I don’t think she’d be able to walk the freedom trail but maybe there’s some transport tours running late March?
Appreciate all info. We’re driving from Canada and can’t wait ; my husband and I have been a few times and we just love Boston!
