The area doesn't seem to have recovered completely and returned to the pre-covid era vibrancy.
The leaning tower kept us dry during a slight drizzle as we walked by on the sidewalk.
The Museum is an absolute gem! I had a fantastic time spending a few hours walking around and immersing myself in the thought-provoking exhibits. The diverse range of contemporary art on display is truly impressive.
I love the peace plaza! Despite how touristy it sometimes can be, there are always cute places to go! You can go to some restaurants inside the mall, although most are pretty expensive. There are some nice shops too! My favorite part is that there are always events on the weekends there, like live music and cultural events which is so fun! Also, the last weekend of every month there is a vintage pop up which is so fun and there are so many cute vendors there! I would highly recommend checking that out!!
If you love animals, here is a great place to visit! Free admission, get to feed and pet the cute animals for only $3 a pack of food. Alpacas were super cute and some goats loved a good massage. Don’t forget to bring mosquito repellent if you are a mosquito magnet like me.
Free entry. They have bathrooms. Nice and unique place in the middle of a fast paced area. They have different animals and Vegetables etc. Check out there website for more details. Next to the farm is a playground called CastleWood playground which has a pool and playground and sprinkler. See my review there for more details. Great combination for the kids, especially because u don't need to reload them in the car
I have come to this PowWow for several years. Even though it was very hot and humid, my 3 friends and I had a wonderful time enjoying the traditional dances performed by seniors down to the children. I have always been interested in Native American history and life. The vendors make their own clothes, moccasins, jewelry, and to many other items to mention to help them make a living and get through the winter. I feel happy supporting them.
This yr I bought 2 lovely Indian summer dresses, and a silver cross!
The big PowWow takes place in Southampton w the Chinnacock reservation indiand and others represented.
I brought 7 bottles of frozen water to help us stay hydrated, and 5 PB&J sandwiches! 4 of them went in an hour.😭💜

We entered through the clear gate and we're in line from about 5:00 until entrance opening 5:35. Once we got through we were to Monument Park in less than 3 minutes in one of the first to walk through so no line to wait
Nice spot in the middle of Japantown to meet with friends or just hang out. There are plenty of places to sit and it is easy to find due to the large pagoda that soars above the two mall sections of Japantown. There are also many interesting plants that you can look at while you wait for your friends to come. Overall, a nice meeting spot!
Sounds like a good dude
This neighborhood is friendly and safe, and there are many restaurants. I went to watch Pride Parede.
Attended the farmers market this morning at DuPont circle.
Fair warning it is fairly crowded and busy.
Fortunately parking wasn’t too horrible to find today, I guess I got lucky.
The farmers market was cool though just very narrow had crowded, but lots of great vendors from fruits, veggies, meats, coffee, snacks & even flowers!
FYI Dogs were allowed.

Nice park, good landmark, but sadly all my favorite resturants near this area closed down so I don't go here as often anymore.
Visited here with my daughter who is 1/4 Japanese. Her father is half Japanese. His mom is from Fukuoka. While we were walking near this tower, I saw a guy that looked so much like my daughter’s deceased Uncle. Her father’s brother who passed when he was 30 years old. It was like he was checking in on his niece.
This place is lovely I like how much it really resembles Japan and it's very clean and the atmosphere here at night is also very nice.
Great small spot to visit. Worth getting to the ballpark early so you can check it out before a game.
Lush seeing this & experiencing the streets Biggie & Pac grew up on
First time here and loved the vibe, so many artists I've never seen, great selection and friendly staff. Wasn't too crowded either! 10/10 would visit again.
Wow!! What a place! And I went for the Dirty South exhibition, and it was incredible! The set up at this place is really amazing. They have multiple floors and spaces (including a basement, 4 floors & even a café with a rooftop space & a kids space upstairs!) it’s stunning. 2 unique things to check out: their a lending library and a borrow art program. Very unique!!
Beautiful place within the Yankee Stadium with monuments. You can check the retired shirt numbers with names, plaques for important players and coaches, and a plaque for the 9/11 attacks. You can visit during games or check it out during the Stadium Tour.
What I love most about living here is that it’s way easier to set up a slip ‘n slide in my hallway as long as the start of it is at the higher end of my unit.
They say Rome wasn’t built in a day, well Millennium Tower was built in too few days on a foundation that never hit bedrock. Who woulda thunk?!

What a great gateway to Boston's Chinatown. Just a wonderful well kept symbolic gateway to begin your time in the area. There are tons of restaurants in a few block radius. Visiting with my cousin who lived and worked in China for a few years. He commented on how it smelled just like he remembered from China. While there the Chinatown Business Association was putting on a traditional storytelling concert which was very cool to hear. There we're some older Chinese Ladies, sitting at the Arch playing some sort-of cards which was fun to watch.
We were in town for a small getaway from CT for the weekend.
Never been to Chinatown prior. Let me say, it's different than NYC canal st Chinatown.
Very much controlled, cleaner, and it made much more logical tradition wise and heritage wise.
The Chinatown gate is a amazing feature and represents a great story.
Definitely worth checking out.

I love this place. Always take my friends here when they're visiting from out of SF. The events here are also great. Parking is easy since there's almost always space in the paid lots. Glad to see things opening up again and attracting more people.
Don't stand too close, and definitely don't go inside. You are risking your life. Remember Champlain Towers South. 98 deaths. This could be even worse. Let me help you: Google this - "Surfside collapse". the root cause might be different, but the result will be the same. When a very tall building is unstable, disaster will be inevitable. Just sharing my opinion..
Came looking for a different mural bc of other photos shared her but found this one… still happy!
This is a really fun place to visit. The Pagoda is very cool and at night it is lit up. There are cherry tries nearby that bloom in the spring and are beautiful. This is all surrounded by Japantown with many shops and restaurants. Very cool location and you could spend a day here with your family. Parking is on the street so you may have to drive a little before you find a spot. I also recommend that you stop by the Kinokuniya book store if you are making the trip. Stop and have some great food before you go!
Pretty cool gem i found just walking around Boston. Worth checking out. Its easy to find if walking around.
Nice spot around Copley square which is already crowded with several beautiful tourist spots
Very beautiful. It is simply a statue of a tortoise and a rabbit, But the surrounding area enhances its view. Recommend going after dusk.
