I’ve been freezing since November. The frigid wind never seems to stop blowing.

You can always move back to Florida I guess?

No. Sadly, I never lived in Florida Unfortunately I can’t. Am stuck here. Would just settle for Winters being a bit milder and less windy.

Seriously. Today was the last straw, it’s cheaper and more flexible for me to drive at this point.

Shouldn't have an issue with lines during the day but if you are looking to drink in southie I am sure itll start to get packed as the day goes on / folks finish work so go early.

The city has enough Irish heritage that you really can't go wrong no matter what you do. There's a pub every few blocks, so I'd recommend finding a neighborhood you like and bar hopping. It's more enjoyed with spontaneity in my experience, and you'll make plenty of friends along the way.

Just be aware, that many pubs will have a cover charge in the touristy spots like Southie and around Faneuil Hall. Follow the music and have fun!
