What to Do in 2 Days in Boston: Day 1<\/h2>\n

Start with a Cup o\u2019 Joe<\/h3>\n

Fun fact for you: Dunkin Donuts started in Quincy, which is just down the road from central Boston! This fact alone alludes to the locals\u2019 love for the beloved coffee bean (this really adds a second reason for it being nicknamed \u201cBeantown,\u201d in our opinion).<\/p>\n

Before you start your first day of exploring, be sure to do as the locals do and get a cup o\u2019 joe. Head to either the nearby Dunkin or up your coffee game by trying your nearest Tatte Bakery & Cafe<\/a> or Thinking Cup (165 Tremont Street)<\/em>, two of the best coffee shops in Boston<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Follow the Freedom Trail<\/h3>\n

The Freedom Trail<\/a> is the best place to start your sightseeing adventure as it is the most efficient way of seeing the significant historical landmarks in the city. This 2.5-mile-long walking trail has its starting point at Boston Common and ends at Bunker Hill Monument. You can even eat your way through the Freedom Trail when you join our Best of Boston food tour<\/a>!<\/p>\n
