Since you are staying near the Garden, bring her to the North End. Good food, good people watching. Paul Revere's house is there and the Old North Church You can see the spire from a distance.Take an Uber if she has to.
There are a couple of theaters downtown.
Edit: Old

Though if you want to avail yourselves of the elevator, you should go in the other entrance, since the front entrance requires a bunch of stairs to get to.

The Copley Plaza Mall and the Prudential Mall are connected. You can easily walk between them without going outside.

Something to do. Just a suggestion.

The guy who runs it says he’s a victim of racism every time people complain. He’s a complete piece of shit. We should limit the amount of apartment buildings (and houses) one person or a company can own.

Anybody see a large caravan of tow trucks (looked like mostly flatbeds) driving around honking? Some kind of rally, perhaps?

If she’s a hockey fan, maybe she would like skating? There’s public skate at Steriti Rink and Warrior (where the B’s practice), check their websites for times. There’s also the aquarium, the Museum of Science (including the Omni Theatre), the MFA (I think the Impressionists exhibit will still be up in March), and the Harvard Museum of Natural History (a personal favorite). I usually do an early dinner in the North End before B’s games since it’s walkable—park in the Haymarket garage nearby. House of Art & Craft in Brighton also has candle making classes that I’ve done with friends, which seems like a fun “mom activity” :)

Don’t underestimate the amount of walking and standing that riding the T will include. Consider getting an Uber/Lyft/Taxi for those times when you’re not next to a T stop and/or your destination isn’t near a T stop.

Acey brings up a good point about accessibility at stations, and there will definitely be journeys where Uber/Lyft are the right choice, but going to recommend taking transit as much as you're able!

Late March is good timing if you wanted to take her to a Bruins game - they play 5 of their last 6 at home.
I'd suggest getting tickets sooner rather than later, with their good season this year, the prices might continue to go up.
If costs are an issue, consider taking the train to Providence and seeing their AHL team.

My apartment was 58 degrees and landlord wouldn’t fix it. Sent an email saying you’re in violation of mass regulation 410.201 and I will start withholding rent. They fixed it in 2 days and 3 groups of maintenance men were over within 24 hours. Maybe just lucky but worth a try to start hard balling them, they are breaking the law if your apartment is in that condition.

Start withholding rent until they make changes and are not in violation of your lease. Deposit the money in a separate account so you have it on record.

You can get tickets to see Blue Man Group or a play at one of the theaters. For classic pub food I personally like the Yard House. For coffee, Pavement coffeehouse or North Street Grill is a nice place for breakfast or brunch.

What hold does Alpha have on the lawmakers in MA that this is allowed to continue without penalty?

I paid because it was easier than spending more money and time than I could afford going after them. While I lived there I was called out by the building inspector for having an empty 6 pack on my table, a mild risk he said... Meanwhile, my room was next to the non working elevator with a giant dead cockroach in the case where a fire extinguisher was supposed to be. There were live wires hanging from the ceiling of the basement, and the windows to the entryway were broken. They must bribe the city in other words, how else does this keep going on? I can't think of another reason.

Did you manage to break your lease without penalty or did you pay everything that was left?

This was directly next door to the MFA, that's how few fucks the city gives.

Spring training is a bit of a commute. Fort Byers might be too long of a drive.
