Yup. Skiing? Winter hasn’t even started this year.

Reply to comment by ValkyriesOnStation in TIL In 1971, the Texas legislature unanimously passed a resolution honoring "Boston Strangler" Albert DeSalvo for his work in "population control." Representative Tom Moore Jr. introduced the bill to prove that they pass legislation with no due diligence given to researching the issues beforehand. by Lurchie_
Why would you be surprised? He is sitting in jail in a very blue state.
He literally got charged so I don’t know why you are making stuff up.
Maybe you meant get sent to prison??

You may have missed it already, but I think the Museum of Fine Arts does a free day one weekend in Januray. Got dragged there once and thought it was pretty cool so now I go there a couple times a year. Think it's only like $25 on normal days anyway.

It's also a road trip from Denver to ski.

Do you think this is Colorado or something? It’s a road trip from Boston to ski.

So the thing about the cold is:
-
it's not even fucking cold in Boston
-
Humans invented clothes thousands of years ago

Agree with another poster that more info about you could be helpful. But generally, maybe one of the "bars with activities" are good in colder weather: Versus, Kings, Puttshack, Spin, PKL, Lucky Stike, A4cade

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.

As a side note, the weather rn is pretty mild considering it's mid-January
Maybe skate in Frog Pond (Boston Common)? It does get fairly crowded but it's fun nonetheless

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.

if you get a sunny day, it can be a nice time of year to go for a walk on the beach. We like Plum Island.

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.

Aside from the pot in the title, that price is certainly high

It is absolutely unreasonable to state this restaurant has the chance to make 3.5 million dollars in profit in a year.
The number of independent restaurants making that much profit in a year in the US is less than 5. That is unheard of.

Reply to I prefer to run the Charles shirtless and 85f, but NGL, today was pretty damn nice by SteveTheBluesman
One winter I ran on the Charles in the evening no matter the weather. I ran in sleet, through slush, and in the snow. It was great. That winter I never caught a cold or flu or even a sore throat!

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.
