The large student population gives the town somewhat of an edgy, energetic vibe, and also contributes to the relatively diverse population. For those that have an active interest in history, there are also numerous museums around the city.

After watching a baseball game or witnessing the film settings, Boston has an array of excellent restaurants perfect for enjoying an evening meal.
