Things to do in Chinatown/Downtown Boston

I am visiting for two days but have never been to Boston. I am staying in Chinatown but open to things to do in walking distance or short drive! There are 6 adults traveling, interested in free activities, beer gardens/breweries, cute dive bars, unique places to visit! Trying to make this short trip worth it haha. Thank you šŸ¤Ž

    MUST SEE/DO:

    - Boston Public Library - Gardner Museum - Arnold Arboretum which you can see some nice foliage now - Halloween decors in different neighborhood (thereā€™s a full list on this app) - Bostonā€™s Wicked Haunt Fest in Charlestown (Bostonā€™s first haunted park which you can find on this app) - After-dark museum parties (different museums host different night time parties and theyā€™re pretty affordable- you can find details on this app) I'm sure I'm missing a bunch, but these are the ones that came to mind first. Have fun in Boston!

    Saus Boston

    Head here for some poutine and Belgian beers. Biddy Earlyā€™s is a popular dive bar nearby. The Seaport is not far from Chinatown so you could walk over there and check out Cisco Beer Garden. There is also a $4 water taxi that runs across Boston Harbor that leaves from Reel House in Seaport that I would recommend šŸŒŠšŸ›„ļø
