There are picnic tables and benches all over the garden. Perfect for a picnic date or some great quality time with friends and family.
Feast your eyes on the Skinny House
In the north end of Boston there is an extremely narrow four story house. Legend has it, two brothers inherited land from their late father. While one brother was away, the other built a large home, leaving little property left for his brother. When the brother returned, he built “skinny house” to spite his brother by blocking his sunlight. Skinny house is fun to visit with a big group of friends to laugh about how unusual the home is.
