Flash back
to roughly 365 days ago, what were your general day-in and day-out thoughts? As
a city of Boston resident at the time I can tell you it was a daily mix of
stress and anxiousness in awaiting yet another upcoming blizzard that will dump
another foot of snow. When spring temperatures finally invaded Boston in late
March 2015 it was a re-birth and a celebration of warmer times to come. Well, flash
forward to this year and the question many are asking, when can we start going
to the beach?
Temperatures
in the Boston area are expected to remain floating in the 40’s and even
touching the 50’s throughout this week. Quite literally the polar (no pun
intended) opposite of last year’s winter hibernation. With the early arrival of
spring, its not too soon to plot out some of the best activities, events,
holidays, and opportunities in Boston during the spring.
The legendary
and iconic hot dog and snack stand located upon the tip of South Boston at
Castle Island is a 65-year old tradition of tasty lobster rolls, juicy cheeseburgers,
delicious french fries and a long menu of longtime favorites. Open 7 days a
week from 8:30AM – 4:00PM, Sullivan’s is the perfect place to warm up your
taste buds with summer flavor while also enjoying the amazing views of Boston
Harbor, Castle Island, and the surrounding skyline of Boston.
