As someone from India who's been living in Boston for 5+ years now, the winters here are massively exaggerated. Maybe it's a newer thing with climate change, but I'm pretty sure we now have more 90+ degree days in the summer than snow days in the winter. It's wild how people make Boston winters out to be like it's Iceland or Alaska without ever mentioning how hot it gets here. If you had to pick between summer and winter, I'd actually recommend coming here in the winter because at least when it's not snowing, you can still walk around where as peak summer days here make it impossible to be outside for more than 5 minutes at a time without melting into a pool of your own sweat.

Love this video! Also, dont skip out on going to Bovas. Bovas is a family owned/family run bakery thats been around for a LONG time. When my be parents were first I married, they went to Boston for part of their honeymoon. They went to Bovas for breakfast pastries and then ate them while staring at the water/sitting across the street from Bovas. My family and I did that a lot when I was a little girl.

The Boston accent absolutely is a thing but you'll have to get away from the tourist areas and walk into any local neighborhood bar or areas just outside the city center. Many T employees and other locals who were born and raised there speak with it. And yes, please don't make fun of or mock ANY accent ANYWHERE in the world. It's uncouth and rude.

He forgot the #1 rule: DON'T BLOCK THE SIDEWALK!
I get that we have some cool, old architecture that you want to admire, but step aside. The city is congested. People will walk through you. They're not being rude. You're just the 15th group in the past 2 blocks, staring at the sky; blocking the entire walkway, and people have places to be.

Seriously, its amazing by comparison how little Boston cares about J walking. I've literally J walked WITH a cop more than once here. We are very much a northern city so that fast paced efficiency is very much at play and that does apply to crossing the street.

Honestly one of these tips was sub-par. I hate to be the guy that says it but Don't mock the accent? what kind of a tip is that? do tourists really just walk around Boston making fun of how the people sound? That's absurd.

Im begging all of the tourists to use Public Transportation as a method of getting into the city. Airport has a train line. South, North, and Back Bay stations have buses and trains.
