Golf courses

posted by qwhittier on 6 October 2010 at 12:46

I'm a golf enthusiast and every year I come to edinburgh for the comedy festival and I play golf by day and laugh by night and it's just great! I like silverknowes best beacause i love the views of the sea, and obviously muirfield is the pinnacle although it's a bit more of a drive, never good if you've had a few too many the night before.

where, when, how, web
you'll need a car, a map and of course golf clubs!

Samuel Adams Brewery

posted by jbeach on 6 October 2010 at 12:04

It was really intersting to see the makings of the beer and the guys were really informative. But the best part of all was tasting all the beers, and all for $2. mmmmm tasty beer, and i left a little er, lightheaded for some reason which can't be bad when you're on holiday!

where, when, how, web
orange subway, stony brook station. 30 Germania Street

Bodega

My boyfriend is mad about trainers and so when i came to boston for business i knew i had to check out this shop and get him some of their exclusive shoes (not the $3000 ones mind, that's going too far). it looks like a simple convenience store but then (secret passageway) you're in a shoe shop!

where, when, how, web
6 clearway street, between back bay and yawkey, a bit of a walk but totally worth it!

Start at the museum, which is in abiel smith school, 46 joy street
