Boston’s quaint cobblestone streets and classic New England charm make it the perfect couple’s destination for the couple accustomed to the big city. There’s literally so many options and things to choose from.
You can stop and smell the fresh flowers in the Boston Common and Boston Public Garden, and when you’re feeling hungry you can head to the North End for some authentic Italian food (make sure you leave some room for the cannolis). To end things on a romantic note with bae, be sure to take in a nice walk in the North End, where street musicians and salespeople peddling single roses are familiar sights. Nothing like love in a big city.
