Susan "Mrs. Boomastic" D.'s Profile
If you got some free time in the Boston area...
See All Lists
1. Horn Pond
A serene 2-miles walk around this pond can be a great excuse to get out of the house. Late spring you can even catch a glimpse of the baby swans with their mamas. There are lots of people running and some with puppies in tow. Watch out for the…More »
2. Menotomy Rocks Park
Marc H. was right. There are some silly owners who choose not to leash their dogs, so they end up jumping on you and messing with your puppy if you have one who is acting all obedient on a leash and is getting assaulted.
The trails are not so clear,…More »
3. Planet Fitness
The best value for a gym membership. $9.99 a month for a regular membership for just working out at your home facility. $19.99 for the super membership that includes working out at your home facility and other ones anywhere in MA max 10 times a…More »
4. Burlington Library
I have gone here all my life. They have grown massively since I was a wee tyke with a new upstairs filled with private study closets, more computers, and bathroom on the second floor.
They have a great selection of new recently released DVDs and…More »
5. Bare Bottom
I love coming here. A couple owns and alternates running this place. They happily take walk-ins, but try to schedule ahead. You are always greeted with a smile.
They have relatively cheap package deals. Twenty visits for fifty-something dollars. The…More »
6. Jo-Ann Fabrics & Crafts
Jo-Ann has a huge assortment of material. I was deeply surprised how many beautiful styles and high quality fabrics they have. I loved the oriental silk pieces, the microfiber rolls, and felt variety. This is where I definitely shop for those…More »
7. Casa Molina
The guys who work here are really nice. They told us to have a seat & bought out some freshly fried tortilla chips and salsa (pico) to start. We waited only a couple of minutes, but he apologized for the wait. I got the grande burrito (12 inch…More »
8. deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum
Spectacular and unusual art pieces. I can't believe that I have lived in the Boston area all my life and I have missed out on this. The exhibits change. It is dog-friendly and picnics encouraged sans alcohol. First weekend of every month BoA is…More »
9. Winchester Public Library
Gorgeous location right along a pond. Historic stone building with a great flow inside. Kids downstairs, adults upstairs with a great quiet reading room, then a computer terminals on the other side. Plus they are connected to the Boston consortium so…More »
10. Olecito
Goodbye, Anna's. I have found a new replacement. Must try the burritos. This is silly to say about Mexican food, but this is the quality that you would find in California! Not only are the chicken, beef, or vegetable fillings the same price, there…More »
11. Anna's Taqueria
I live for my Anna's fix weekly. Cheap thrill when you don't feel like cooking dinner. Quesadillas are crisp and oily, but I think it adds to the flavor. Try the carnitas (pulled spicy pork) if you like an added kick or plain old chicken for those…More »
12. Ann Taylor Stores
The store is really open, clean and classy. It is easy to look around and see if you missed anything. They had some lovely suit, dress, cashmere sweater, and jewelery options. Things were flying out of there.
13. Anthropologie
I love Anthropologie's faux French-country style. They rock the whimsical hippie free spirit that I get inspired when I walk into the store. They have fun books and candles, which are great as gifts. I adore their patterned duvet covers. Very pretty…More »
14. Lulu's Bake Shoppe - CLOSED
Great alternative if you're sick of the chaos that is Mike's Pastry across the street. This little cupcake shop is comfortable inside and really cute.
I had the red velvet cup cake with whipped cream frosting. delicious end to my evening in the North…More »
15. Burlington Mall
One of the best malls in the Boston area, hands-down easily. They have the prerequisite Simon's renting shops, such as Macy's, Sears, Lord & Taylor, Victoria's Secret, Gap, Express, etc. However, they also have fun and different stores for your…More »
16. CVS Pharmacy
Otherwise known as that CVS in Porter Square. I love everything about this CVS. Wonderful selection, huge upscale foreign skin products, large magazine section, & 24-hour service. I could hang out here all evening long.
