Sightseeing
50th floor of the "Pru" is an observation deck. I think it's around $15. I hear the best time to go is at sunset! 52nd floor is a bar/restaurant called "Top of the Hub." Its pricey and the quality isn't amazing but has great views and is worth getting a drink there. I work on the 14th floor!

Parks & Nature
Large park that makes you forget you're in the city! Located in Jamaica Plain (JP) which is an awesome neighborhood in itself.

Shopping
Buffalo Exchange

Improv shows that are affordable! In the historic North End, known for its cannolis and Italian food. I suggest buying tickets online before hand. On Fridays and Saturdays they have a midnight show which is always a good time :) They have a bar as well

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Usually playing unique and/or old movies. A historical theater that has been made modern. Beer and wine (and popcorn, of course) are served!
