Amtrak recently announced their highly anticipated Northeast Winter Sale and let me tell you those deals are good! They are offering up to 30% off Acela Business and Northeast Coach fares. The sale is available for travel between February 1st to March 31st.

They happen to have ticket options to Boston for as low as $40 each way. Now, I have taken the Amtrak to Boston a few times while living in New York City and I have quickly fallen in love with that city. So, in light of the sale, I am going to give you all the best eats and must-dos to experience the Boston charm for yourselves.

The list of things to do in Boston is truly never ending and I’m sure I’ve only explored such a small portion of what the city has to offer. It is such an easy place to enjoy, take the train and go!
