Should you dare to venture out a little further today, maybe catch an Uber or grab your rental car keys and visit the North End. This is Boston’s oldest residential neighborhood and is best described as the “Little Italy” of Boston. With narrow streets and colonial-era sites, you will find Paul Revere’s house and the Old North Church, along with some of the most quant and flavor-rich Italian restaurants, bakeries, and dessert parlors.

• Pasta: La Famiglia Giorgio’s
• Pizza: Regina Pizzeria
• Desserts: Mike’s Pastry
• Lobster Roll alert! Neptune Oyster is by far my favorite lobster roll spot.

I also highly recommend checking out Committee for Greek inspired tapas and cocktails. It is deal for vegetarians and anyone taking a break from meat.

Wednesday

You are bound to be tired from the night before and the ride out to the North End, so check out some of the nearby coffee shops before starting your day. I am not the best judge of coffee, but I hear these two are quite popular: La Colombe Coffee Roasters and Sorrelle Bakery & Café. Don’t worry if you started out late, the rapid fire talk on “Diagnosing Pulmonary Embolism in Pregnancy” by Lauren Westafer, DO, MPH, doesn’t start until 12:30 p.m. You will be finished just in time to make it to Larry J’s BBQ Café for a filling lunch prior to the afternoon sessions. They close at 3 p.m., so don’t stop to talk to too many old friends on your way over or you might miss it.

If you opt to call it an early day, consider the Institute of Contemporary Arts, which has free admission for families. Here you can check out any new exhibits, and don’t forget to watch the calendar for live music events.

Haven’t enjoyed an amazing lobster roll yet? This is possibly your last chance! But since I had my fill last night, I’m down to get my hands (and clothes) dirty by checking out The Barking Crab. Here you will find a fun-filled and family-oriented eating experience that is truly authentic. You are bound to make a mess as you crack crab legs and lick your fingers while eating some of the freshest seafood.

After a long day of learning and getting Cajun spices under your fingernails, it’s time to clean up and get ready to party with old friends. I’ll be headed over to the The Grand Boston, a high-tech Vegas-style dance club featuring a lineup of top DJs and VIP areas with bottle service. If Vegas in Boston is not your style, Empire is just a few blocks over. Empire is old-world China meets sleek modernity in a trendy club-like complex with multiple dining rooms. It has an artisanal menu on which you will surely find great a bite. Later in the evening, the place becomes vibrant with a live DJ (on Wednesdays). For something a little more low-key, check out Scorpion Bar. If clubbing isn’t your style, try an evening of bowling at Kings Dining and Entertainment where you can bowl a few rounds, find good bites at their retro-modern restaurant, and play a few games at the arcade.
