Solo things to do in Boston on your birthday? I’m sure a lot of you are scratching your head on that one. Like why would anyone want to celebrate alone on their birthday. Well there are a lot of reasons. I’ll get into that, as well as some of the fantastic and fun solo things you can do in Boston on your birthday.
Why Solo Things To Do In Boston On Your Birthday?
So I came across a question on Reddit where someone was asking about things they could do alone on their birthday. They had just moved to the city and didn’t have family and friends to celebrate with. They didn’t seem sad about it, and were just looking to find some fun things to do, as well as restaurants to try.
I know for a lot of people celebrating alone on your birthday may seem like the worst thing ever, but as someone who prefers it, I can tell you it can be one of the most satisfying days of the year. I usually use the day to focus on myself, thing about what the past year(s) have meant to me, write out my hopes and dreams for my new year, and do all the things that I, not someone else, want and love to do. Here are a few solo things to do in Boston to get you started.
Castle Island In South Boston
Castle Island is one of my favorite places in the city. It’s an incredible area to explore and of the best solo things to do in Boston. There’s a loop that you can walk around and occasionally stop to take in the beautiful water views. You can sit on the rocks, strike up a conversation with someone, and you definitely need to make a stop at Sullivan’s for some ice cream, chowder, fried clams, or whatever else you feel like celebrating with.
One Of The Many Fabulous Museums In The City
We are so lucky to have a variety of fascinating museums. From the Museum of Fine Arts, to the Isabella Garnder Museum, to the Institute of Contemporary Art, the Museum of African American History, just to name a few. And you can even get free admission when you go to a Boston Public Library branch and get a card.
Indulge In The Art Of Wandering
On of my favorite things to do when I first came to Boston many years ago, was wander the city. There was nothing better than getting lost while going into different shops and eateries to get a taste of the city. And if you’re too worried about not being able to get home, you could always stick one area to wander in, like the very popular Seaport area.
Try An Art Class
Get in touch with your creative side. Sign up for a paint bar, pottery painting, jewelry making, or any of the other artsy/crafty classes. This is truly one of my favorite solo things to do in Boston.
Eat All Your Favorite Foods
What’s your favorite food? Whatever it is, I guarantee Boston has it. Decide what you want to eat and “Yelp that sh*t.” It’s not always 100% accurate, but you can get some ideas of what’s good and close to you.
Be A Tourist
I love this idea. There are lots of touristy things to do here, and are some of the best solo things to do in Boston. Duck Boat tours, trolley rides, tour Fenway Park, do a Whale Watch. Google Touristy things to do in Boston, and you’ll be all set.
