So, I’m debating on which big East Coast city to visit for my 4 day weekend in February. I’ve been to NYC and DC, but both of those were quite a while ago. I’ve never been to Boston.
I like museums, particularly art and history museums. I also like craft beer, quirky local restaurants with good food that aren’t jacket and tie places, theater, classical music, walking and transit (although a few cab rides are fine) and sports.
It’s a hard decision. I’ve never been to Boston so that’s a plus. The airport is also close to the city center.
NYC has theater, and I can use all the usual discount sources to get to a show. But, getting from even LaGuardia to the city is a bitch and it’s even worse getting to LGA from a Manhattan hotel.
DC has an advantage because I’d never visit there in summer by choice. I liked going to the bars there and discussing politics with people that worked there. Similar to discussing finance in Chicago bars.
The weather won’t be ideal, but I’d rather have cold and snowy than the horrible heat of DC in August.
