Boston is the capital and largest city in Massachusetts, and the 24th-most populous city in the United States. Its population is expected to reach 675,647 by 2020.

Whether you’re looking for a historic site, a modern art gallery, or a great night out on the town, there’s something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can shop for art and fashion at the SoWa Farmer’s Market. Bodega is an underground market full of mystery and retail joy. The “most innovative square mile in the world” can be found in Kendall Square, a cluster of high-tech buildings that are popular among the city’s young professionals. In addition to Bodega, there are many other places to enjoy the views of the city from the top of a hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood is one of the most beautiful and upscale neighborhoods in the world, but it’s also one of the most susceptible to foundation rot. In 1929, the Boston Public Library collapsed due to sewer pipe leaks. The $200,000 repair bill was unheard-of at the time, but more than 200 buildings have been fixed. The oldest church in Boston, Trinity Church, was built on over four thousand pilings and outfitted with a water backup system to keep the pilings moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re a movie buff, you can visit the Coolidge Corner Theatre, a nonprofit that screens niche movies. With a late-night movie series, it’s the perfect place to catch a new classic or watch a beloved movie. This theater is located at the top of Beacon Hill and boasts brick sidewalks, small streets, and prettily-decorated lampposts. Be sure to check out the local restaurants, as most close at the end of the screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting the MFA is a must-do while in Boston. It is home to over 500,000 works of art, including Egyptian artifacts and modern works. In fact, the MFA is the largest museum in the world, and the MFA alone has over a million visitors per year. You can easily explore the museum by following a highlights map, which guides you through the museum’s 12 most important masterpieces in less than an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re a foodie, there are a variety of options for you. The MFA has one of the largest collections of art in the United States, with nearly 500,000 pieces of art. The Mapparium, located in the Mary Baker Eddy Library, is a huge stained-glass globe that depicts the continents in a truly accurate scale. You should also check out the local seafood markets. Unlike most cities, you can eat fresh seafood from all over the world in Boston, as well as eat fresh lobster and other lobster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city is considered to be very innovative. The Boston Latin School was established in 1635. In the nineteenth century, the Old Corner Bookstore became a meeting place for writers and artists. The city’s population density is 573 people per square mile. While this may seem like a small number, it is an extremely dense city. However, you can find a large variety of homes and apartments for sale in the area. If you have a budget, you may want to consider renting a condominium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
