“There’s nothing better than watching the fish come right off the boats at the Boston Fish Pier. The greatest pizza in Boston is at Picco. The best sandwiches are at Sam LaGrassa’s.” – Roger Berkowitz, president and CEO of Legal Sea Foods and Massachusetts native Dan Matutina

Tens of thousands of people will run through Boston this April in the world's oldest annual marathon, a grueling race featuring four hills in the last 11 miles and more than a million fans cheering from the sidelines. Two years after a bombing threw the marathon's finish line into chaos, the city remains resilient. “It'll always be a part of our history,” says Thomas Grilk, the Boston Athletic Association's executive director. “But it won't define us.” Celebrate the city's rich history, free science exhibits, great art, and (finally) snowless sidewalks. You can enjoy it all without being a Sox fan. Probably.
