I think salem being dead adds to the reasons to stay in salem lol. You get to experience all the charm of the town and see all the tourist things without the tourists/crowds. Great place, lots to do. Beverly 1 town over also has a ton of good bars and restaurants if you want out if salem for a night. Plus you can still hop over into Boston to visit for a day or 2

If you’re going to a wedding, go to the wedding- I definitely do not recommend visiting Boston and trying to travel to Salem for more than one single event over the course of three days. Just a wedding might be fine if you have a car and the weather cooperates, but you’ll spend a miserable amount of your trip driving if there are also rehearsal events or post-wedding lunches or quick visits with family at their hotels or anything like that.

Going to throw the hat of our fair city Cambridge into the ring here. If you want cute streets, coffee shops, and museums we’re hard to beat. Much quieter than Boston but plenty to do at a slower pace. We’re also on the red line of the T (the subway here) so getting into Boston proper only takes 20 minutes and $2.40. Enjoy the wedding and don’t forget Boston’s overeducated little brother across the Charles

You are not alone.

In winter '67 a college classmate said to a group of us "You gotta be crazy or drunk to ride down a mountain on a pair of sticks". Words to live by.

I didn't even realize people take cordyceps as a health supplement.

I’m agreeing with you as well!

Scan. Place the item in the bagging area. Pay. THEN BAG.

It’s a pain to delay people the extra 20 seconds after you’re finished with the transaction - except when you consider you’ll never trigger that error again & can still easily be faster than the person who started self checkout right before you if you try.

Three Stooges skit

I’ll disagree with everyone here so far. Stay at the harthorne in Salem. Every time I have guests here there’s plenty of things to do for three days to keep yourself entertained. You won’t have to deal with waiting on the train on the weekends and walking across Salem in the freezing cold. Plenty of good restaurants and coffee shops to check out. If you get bored go to Beverly right across the bridge.

Will a candygram suffice?

PUT THE ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA

Boston is your best bet, You can still find witchy attractions in Salem this time of year, but only on the weekends, and it’s not the same experience as summer or fall. But still worth the day/night trip if you have always wanted to go.

I've had lots of issues with their food going bad unlike some other places like Shaw's. Theirnproduce is atrocious

So hear me out on this… If your Ex got the the typical, over the top divorce attorney, you might be inclined to go the opposite direction. My Ex, went that way. She hired a prominent city councilman in the city I live who is very well known as being old money in the divorce legal game. When she retained him, my best friend pulled me aside and said “you might be in some trouble” as he had also used this gentleman on a different matter.

Having said that, being a large 6’3, 250lb man being painted as this angry, argumentative monster I went the route of getting a 60 year old, unassuming, motherly attorney who did a fantastic job for me. She was almost Columbo like where she would play naive, only to come full circle and really hammer this windbag of a tough guy.

I have full custody, and get paid child support… and I am a biological man, in MA lol. That’s almost unheard of.

Shoot me a DM if you want more info.

I read that as burn urinating I can’t be the only one

I think I'm leaning towards Boston then. Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks for the advice!

I agree. See what is going on in Boston compared with Salam. There is way more to do in Boston. I really like the Peabody-Essex Museum, but I love the MFA.

Stay in Boston. You can take public transportation right to Salem. Salem is great and fun for bar hopping this time of year but there is way more to do in Boston in the winter.

February isn’t known as the tourist season in Boston. This is even more true in Salem. Salem will probably be dead that time of year. Stick to Boston. Should be no trouble finding a cheap place to stay. You can take the train and go to the Peabody-Essex Museum in Salem for a day if you want. Make sure to double-check they’re open, though.
