Getting around
- Hit Haymarket, the open-air produce market behind Faneuil Hall, in the last 30 minutes before it closes on Fridays or Saturdays. Vendors drop prices rather than pack unsold stock.
- Load a CharlieCard instead of buying paper tickets at the MBTA gates. It saves a small amount per T ride and works on buses and the Silver Line to the airport.
- The MFA is pay-what-you-wish after 4pm on Wednesdays. The Gardner Museum gives a discount if you show up by bike, any day.
When to go
January through March has the lowest hostel rates. Beds fill up and prices jump during graduation week in late May, through all of July and August, and again for the first two weeks of October.
