St. Patrick's Day - Boston 2014

[aprilsails]

Myself and 8 girlfriends have rented a VRBO place for a long weekend in Boston around St. Patrick's Day.  Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions of good activities to do other than the parade.  We're all 28ish and are a decent mix of partiers vs. non-partiers so we'll see how this goes.

I totally forgot that I posted this message! How bad is that?

I'm looking for ideas for what we can do around town on the Friday and Saturday. I figure Sunday and Monday we'll be occupied with the parade and the drinking.

You mean holiday-specific activities or things to do in Boston in general?

Any favourite yarn stores I should hit?  This is also important.

Thanks @rock-n-Voll!

I don't think I can convince my friends that WEBS is on the way... then again, I am the one driving, but our time is fairly limited and I'm the only obsessive crafter in the group.

There's a store in Dorchester that I hear is pretty good

I haven't been, but it's been on my radar for the last year or so

Apparently there's a place on Newbury Street, Newbury Yarns. They have a FB page but I can't find a web link.

We just got back from A trip to Boston over Valentine's weekend. We had really good meals at Atlantic Fish Company and Tratorria di Monica's. We ended up at a German restaurant, Jacob Wirth's, on Valentine's Day, because I did not make a reservation. I actually enjoyed it and had some great macaroni and cheese! It's a fun atmosphere because they have a sing along with a piano player. It might be fun with girlfriends. We had a really good brunch at North Street Grill and my husband loved the oysters at Neptune Oyster.

We did some of the Freedom Trail, went to Harvard Square, walked neighborhoods and the Boston Common area. Lots to do in Boston! We would like to go back in warmer weather!
