Sometime in August, my friend and I from [Buffalo Ny] are driving to Boston. I hear they’ve got a famous coffee bean or something? That’s the reason we’re going for to try out. But is there any hot spots we can hit up? Sight seeing? Beaches? And a good restaurant or two to experience, chain or not. We’re only staying for 2-3 days. [We don't mind seafood either!] Thank you!!!

My friend and I are 18 and 19 and want to go to a beach with fun places to walk around at night and hang out with locals and hip restaurants and have some night time fun, is Rehoboth the place for this or is it more casual and laid back more suited for families?

Any other suggestions for beaches with lots of fun, no families and kids, more like a northern version of South Beach Miami?

If so did you have a preference to either, i am looking to go in september, but im undecided - not necessarily for these two, but are currently our preferences (me + gf)

Like a whole lot of things, water sports, shops, markets, bars, restaurants etc, nice beaches but also historical sites too maybe general interest museums.

any ideas guys?

I’m going to Sarasota next week, and need something fun to do. I looked on 10best, and found Mote Aquarium and some Kayaking eco-tour. Yay? I know about Siesta Key and the beaches in the area. I’m also considering Busch Gardens. Any ideas? Also, good bakeries or restaurants in the area? Good shopping?
Thanks!

We’re headed to Daytona Beach for vacation the second week of August and we’ve never been there before. We’re just wondering how crowded it may be - we’ve been to some beaches where there are literally about four other people you can see, and we’ve been to beaches where you’re rubbing elbows with strangers. Just wondering what we might expect there!

Also, we love seafood and are looking for some really good restaurants - ideas? We’re game for everything from hole-in-the-wall places to nice, fancier places as long as you think it’s good!

I want to do cool things like hit up the beaches, check out some museums and art galleries, go to different restaurants, check out the night life, and just overall have a blast. I gotta do it all within 6 days. Any suggestions on where to go?
