Cheap Eats in Boston

by Eric H.
HiddenBoston.com offers a great dining resource service by listing cheap places to eat in the Boston, MA, area. What gives these listings a unique edge is that these restaurants are not that well-known outside their regions, but, nevertheless, offer some truly great food at a good value. Hidden Boston also features more expensive restaurants, but in alignment with this blog's theme we recommend checking out the "Cheap Eats" first.

Free Movies at the Hatch Shell in Boston This Summer

WBZ-TV in conjunction with DCR presents Free Friday Flicks -- classic and popular movies -- will be shown Fridays through Aug. 31, approximately 8 p.m. (at sundown), at the DCR Hatch Shell on Storrow Drive in Boston, MA. Due to copyright issues, movie names cannot be shown but WBZ-TV lists some "hints" on its Web Site. Sounds like a great way to spend a family night out in Boston!

Farm Stays at a Low Price

Farm stays, often costing around $100.00 a night for a family of four, is a great way to save money when seeking accommodations for your New England vacation. Breakfast is usually included, as well as farm activities -- if applicable -- making this type of lodging a nice rural way to spend a vacation. There's a terrific resource for affordable farm stays in Vermont on the Vermont Farms Association Web Site. It might be a nice way to spend a summer country vacation, be near fall foliage in autumn, or close to skiing in the winter!
