Time Magazine named Boston 2016's Best Big City in the Northeast! But we knew this already, of course. Let us elaborate…
For one, Boston has had a faster rate of growth than both San Francisco and New York, without adding to city congestion! The Big Dig, otherwise known as our $15 billion/15-year effort toward concealing major traffic within underground tunnels, sparked "one of the most successful urban renaissance stories in modern American history." Quoted from Time Magazine itself!
This directly led way to Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway's emerging park system. Along with Boston's urban grandeur, we have at least 15 acres of greenery with Greenway's park alone!

These parks house popular food-trucks, art stands showcasing local talent, and so much more. Outside of these parks are major shopping locations such our very historic Quincy Market. There you'll find anything from favorite well-known brands, to push carts set up as it was back in the day, and even good eats! (Boston Chowda seems to be a local favorite.)
Of course, let's not forget about Boston's own Red Sox! Imagine enjoying a nice cold brew in Boston's iconic Fenway Park. Boston has plenty of culture for all ages alike!

In addition to these amenities, the growth in economy has equally led way to some major opportunities. Not only has local employment thrived more than twice the national average since 2010, but Boston also continues to be home to some of greatest educational opportunities in the country.
More, you ask? Time Magazine tells us new buildings have been constructed in 19 of the city's 23 neighborhoods! That sure means one thing – We will always have room for newcomers!
There is much to experience in this great big city of Boston. Where in Boston would you visit first?
