One thing you could take off your list would be Faneuil Hall. It is nothing special and you will not be missing anything by not going. Also, you could skip Salem as it is a bit overrated especially if you have limited time and a long list of other things to see in Boston. If you do decide to go to Salem though, you don’t need to rent a car. The commuter rail goes from North Station right to Salem. If you stay in Back Bay, that would be a central location allowing you easy access to the Common/Public Garden, Freedom Trail, Old North Church, Library, Fenway, Copley Square and Newbury. Other items on your list could be accessible by T from there as well. Have fun!

Yep - had to temporarily hold two insurance policies.

Salem is easier to get to by train than by car and unless you wanted to go to Winter Island or the Willows it's all pretty centrally located and doesn't need a car. As for the witch museums you mentioned, honestly those are tourist traps. At least the Witch Village certainly is, never done the other. Better spending your time strolling around Salem, looking at buildings, checking out the waterfront, or at the wonderful Peabody Essex Museum.

Sure but that area is weird and Roadrunner isn’t just gonna carry a place to success. Roadrunner (a) isn’t that big (b) doesn’t have shows every single night (c) isn’t actually next door to brato location (d) has several other better options for food and drink actually next door.
City’s hottest music club is MGM though.

Yeah, trouble for that spot is what do you do on nights when there's no Roadrunner crowd. Brighton Center in general is pretty sleepy, although that might change as more and more big residential projects pop up.

you can disable the seat belt chime on every vehicle. it's usually something like putting the turning the key to acc or single pressing the start button to turn on the electics and then just plugging and unplugging the seat belt X number of times withing a certain time period and then shutting off the car and restarting it and presto no more seat belt chime. you can do the same thing with door locking, so it either sounds the horn on lock or does make a beep or no noise at all

It's also in a weird slightly out of the way location. The mediocre places are normally at least located somewhere very central so they are still always the "good enough" option to people that are nearby. With their location, they really needed to be a destination

Why would preventing the horn do a thing to alert someone - do you beep when you start your car or something? I almost never use mine, it could have broken a week ago for all I know.

Its good you cleared the snow before it froze though. Then its a real chore, and you cause way more scratches

Doesn't matter what school you went to if you aren't researching some basic information when writing something. There are plenty of people that went to an Ivy school and ran for a political office that don't research statements before releasing them.

Hasn't stopped countless other places that fit that bill (and don't have the city's hottest music venue virtually next door) from staying open for years.

Their food wasn’t good enough or menu expansive enough to be a good restaurant and the beer wasn’t good enough to be a great brewery.

Yup. Sliding off is fine. It’s flying off that causes problems.

Reply to comment by Thac0 in When will the city add more Raising Canes restaurants? by slientxx
actually majority are college students considering its right next to a campus. but theres a small portion of people who will dedicate their morning to driving 15 miles just to reach the nearest raising canes and illegally park at the employee parking lot behind the building in hopes they wont get caught

That whole area is kind of...weirdly dead.
Mostly commercial, so theres not a lot of foot traffic. The residential space that does exist tends to be on the lower income side of things, so they're not exactly the type to spend money on craft beer and expensive grilled cheese sandwiches.
Its just the vibe of a space you pass through to get to somewhere else, rather than a destination.

That one was busy. But probably they are just trying to serve the area out of the one on northern. The weird part is fort point was just as busy I would say landlord probably jacked the rent.
