For the next five days,14,000 rheumatologists will visit Boston for the American College of Rheumatology Annual Meeting. With talks scheduled from 7 am to 6 pm, you may have little time to visit the city. Should you find yourself with free time, here are five quintessential Boston experiences you should not miss:
-Run around the Charles River: a popular Boston running route; vary the length of your run by deciding which bridge to take (from 2 to 12 miles)
-Visit Harvard Square: the mecca of learning meets hipster central
-Walk the Freedom Trail: a 2.5-mile, red-lined walk that leads you through the most important historical sites of the city
-Rent a Hubway: with bikes at almost every city block, this bike-sharing system is a wonderful way to visit the city
-Grab a drink at Drink: tell the bartender your favorite color, that you like candle-lit dinners, and that you collected coins as a child, and they will concoct the perfect cocktail for you
