When visiting a city like Boston, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the sheer number of dining, shopping, entertainment, and outdoors options available! Luckily, Kathy MacLachlan, MS, ANP-BC, FACHA (University of Syracuse (retired)) came to the rescue with some excellent firsthand recommendations. Kathy is the chair of the ACHA Continuing Nursing Education Subcommittee. She also serves on ACHA’s Program Planning Committee (PPC). Her son relocated to Boston eight years ago and in that time she’s visited some amazing places for shopping, eating, and viewing. I’ll let Kathy take it from here.

1) I'll start with a Deli we discovered last November when I was there for the PPC meeting. It was within five minutes driving from the Marriott Copley and it would probably be just as easy to walk with the one-way streets. The fabulous Deli is called Sam LaGrassa's at 44 Province Street. The shop opens at 11 am and accepts phone orders for eat-in or take-out. Reasonable prices.
2) Chart House: Great restaurant on the waterfront at 60 Long Wharf. Little on the pricey side, but worth it!
3) Faneuil Hall: Historic marketplace built in 1742. Fun shops and people watching near the waterfront. And it’s free!
4) New England Aquarium: Located at 1 Central Wharf on the waterfront. Amazing marine and animal exhibits, as well as an IMAX Theater. Tickets reasonable.

5) Boston Duck Tour: A land and sea excursion with tickets available online in advance. Tours book quickly so reservations should be made well in advance of the Annual Meeting.
6) Harvard University: Established in 1636 as an Ivy League campus. Both the town it resides in, Cambridge, and the campus are beautiful and fun.
