You won't be doing any skiing right now unless you're willing to drive north.

If the weather is ok, walk the Esplanade, freedom trail, Arnold Arboretum or check out the USS Constitution and Cassin Young and Bunker Hill. If you're up for a hike go to Middlesex Fells or Blue Hills.

Go to the MFA, Gardner Museum, or JFK Library. Book tickets in advance for the Gardner. Go candlepin bowling.

For restaurants I like Celeste, Field and Vine, Gustazo, Saltie Girl, Eventide, Tres Gatos, Noah's Kitchen, to name a few. Next time book a reservation at Sarma 3-6 weeks in advance.

Get drinks somewhere.

There's tons to do but it's hard to give recs without knowing what you like or where you want to be. Art museums? Trivia? Indie movie theaters? Beacon Hill house museum followed by ice skating on the frog pond? Chinatown food tour? Candlepin bowling? Eating oysters?

I mean did you try looking up literally any things to do? If all you came up with was “skiing” and “nothing” I can’t imagine you tried very hard. Also, “Plan my weekend for me because I don’t know how to google shit” never really goes over well in this sub.

Now, if you post “I really like 18th century American Art but my partner enjoys Impressionism, should we visit the MFA or the Gardner?” you’ll get detailed, helpful answers. It’s not that we don’t want to help, but we’re not travel agents either.

For those trying to do the math, commercial real estate investment comes in two forms: cash flow and equity.

Almost all commercial spaces in Mass. are equity investments, many do not cash flow. In fact, the new owner may end up losing money every year if their exit strategy is to hold for a decade and sell.

The land and location will appreciate at a higher rate than standard cashflow operations could bring in.

They are closed in the off season. Real estate alone is worth $5-$6MM. Very few days in season when there isn’t a 30-40 minute wait for seating.

Last year when boat price for lobster was $4.50/lb a single 1 1/4 pound steamed lobster was near $50 at the restaurant. Approximately 1 pound of mussels ($2.50 cost) was selling for almost $20.

The business economics are quite different in Provincetown.
