OLD TOWN ROUTE: HOW TO HIKE DOWN THE MIDDLE OF 128 (AND LIVE TO TELL ABOUT IT)

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted January 28, 2020 Filed Under: FEATURES, GTFO, LIFESTYLE, Non-fiction

That section is a continuation of the road ... but on the other side of the highway—and it can’t be accessed unless a) you have wings, or b) you have a death wish and think it would be fun running across the highway.

HOW TO WALK THE BOSTON COASTLINE

END TO END: ON THE BLUE HILLS’ SKYLINE TRAIL

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted August 9, 2018 Filed Under: GTFO, LIFESTYLE

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted August 1, 2018 Filed Under: Drinks, Eats, LIFESTYLE

HOW TO WALK ACROSS BOSTON HARBOR WITHOUT GETTING IN TROUBLE

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted July 15, 2018 Filed Under: DigThis, GTFO, LIFESTYLE

The original Thompson Island hike, which included Thompson Island itself, was something I’ll never forget for several reasons, but this perfectly legal walk includes mostly similar sights and may also give you a bit of cachet, since saying that you walked across Boston Harbor sounds like the stuff of legend.

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted June 27, 2018 Filed Under: Eats, LIFESTYLE

Between the friendly folks behind the counter, the tasty and inexpensive food, the easy parking and access from the Green Line, there’s definitely a lot to like about one of the Boston area’s newest Greek restaurants.
