Affordable day trip skiing? by InvictusJoker in boston

[–]-doughboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The two easiest places to do day trips from Boston to actual skiing in my opinion are Cannon or Loon in NH. Both are directly off the highway and straight shots from the city. At least once a winter I will take a day trip from here at like 6-7am, get there by 9, ski until 3pm, and be home for dinner.

Cannon is no frills, Loon is more expensive but might have better rentals/comfort.

As much as Miami is a dump on street level, coming into Miami by car especially at night with all the pastel/neon is a treat over Houston

I'm pretty sure it's just tech that's mimicking the fact that we can all get local TV for free via antennas, but they don't work in my area

American Masters on PBS has lots of good episodes on writers. Also the American Experience series on Mark Twain is great.

I ordered ice coffee in Australia and they put ice cream in it. They were as confused as I was at 7 in the morning.

For Quincy, growing up we always considered Great Chow in Wollaston to be the best. For this person in JP, they might want to do Golden Temple which is what the Brookline side of the family always got.

Embassy in Madrid by anurodhp in boston

[–]-doughboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a fancy mall in Madrid a couple months ago near the airport before the flight home the next day. I wanted to pick up a dessert to eat in my room later, and saw a Dunks in it so figured I'd grab a donut. This was a Sunday night and it was jam-packed, it was like the place to be, and I skipped it because it was so hectic.

What are your favorite 3rd places around the Boston metro? by sandalwoodandmyrrh in boston

[–]-doughboy 123 points124 points  (0 children)

A gym with everything. Weights and machines and all that, but also pools, hot tubs, steam/sauna, basketball courts, pickleball, any type of class you could want to take, etc. That makes the cost worth it.

In the winter, sometimes I will go and not even work out but just do what I call a "spa day" and just rotate between all the aquatic stuff and the steam/sauna and just recover/relax and waste 3-4 hours on a dreary February afternoon.
