I have just moved to Boston this month. Anyone who knows the weather here would severely question my sanity, but I figure the best way to trek through it is to throw myself in the thick of it. And thick it is! There have been 3(!) snowstorms since I've been here.
Other than the horrid weather (this last one was: snow, rain, freezing temperatures, in that order), Boston is great! So far I've been to a handful of restaurants, some great delis, and in and out of some really architecturally impressive old downtown buildings.
Somerville, where I live, is great from my impressions so far. There's Porter Square down one street and Davis Square down another. Both have some great bars, coffee shops, stores (Pier1, Poor Little Rich Girl) and gyms (Healthworks). There are these indoor shops at the Porter Exchange that mostly seem to be Japanese-owned. I ate some great sushi there and bought some of those doughy little treats from the Japanese supermarket.
Even with a severe flu clouding my head, I'm still impressed with the city and I'm glad I made the move.
