Better to just take the ferry to one of the islands if it’s a day trip.

You do know. Was hoping you would reply.
Restaurants? Lobster rolls? Clam chowder?
We are from Milwaukee so we just want a locals perspective

There are lots of fun things to do around the city on days without shows. You can go to the MFA or the Gardner museum. If anyone you're with likes shopping, go to Newbury Street on Tuesday (hopefully crowds will be smaller that day). Avoid Cambridge as it'll be move-in weekend (otherwise I would suggest going to Harvard Square for a burger and some of the more low-key bars for some day drinking). If you like the bar scene and want to get the real Boston experience of having gay slurs thrown at you, than go to Faneuil Hall after you get in on Saturday and it's bound to happen. I wasn't into the foodie scene or anything when I lived up there, so no idea where to go for real good eats.

It didn't dawn on me that it'll be move-in weekend until right now. I was planning on parking near BU on Sunday but that might be a disaster.

Yeah I can't think of one place that I would recommend someone to go to get the "feel" for food in the city. I can tell you what bars are less shitty than others (circa 9 years ago), but for food I got nothing.

When I go to Fenway I usually park on that last little slice of Newbury Street west of Mass Ave, nestled against the Mass Pike.

I'm going to take the T in after work on Tuesday (Quincy Center what what), which is easy because the parking is free. Last time I drove in we parked at a gas station near Emmanuel for $20 and it took 5 minutes to get out.

I will do almost anything to avoid taking the T.

2 years ago my friends parked at the Hynes Auditorium Garage on Dalton street and it worked fine. It was a pleasant 10-15 minute walk and the price wasn't exorbitant.

Wat? We're over 2 weeks away. Weather can't be forecasted that far out. It's a guess at this point.
