This old city has a lot to offer, and this sampling points out just a few of the many options that lay waiting right outside your door to explore—or rediscover.

Workout With November Project [Best Phenomenon]

The perfect day starts early! Trust us; exercise is good for you. Yes, it hurts now, but you’ll feel like a million bucks afterwards. Also, nothing feels better than free – which is what it costs to participate in this grassroots organization’s tri-weekly workouts. Check out the Project’s Twitter page to see where they’ll be meeting, show up armed with water and a positive attitude, and let the energy of the group push you to reach your goals.

Delivery From Union Square Donuts [Best-Kept Secret]

Hopefully this perfect day falls on a Thursday or Friday, because that’s when the legendary doughnut shop will deliver freshly-made perfection right to your office door. Hey, you completed your workout already—isn’t it time to treat yourself? All you have to do is make sure to place your order online by 1 pm the previous day. Talk about motivation to push through those last hours before the weekend!

Listen to VanyaRadio [Best Radio Show (Streaming)]

For the savvy contemporary music consumer, the digital magazine VanyaLand is an indispensible resource of news. Now the sagacious listener need never miss a beat thanks to VanyaRadio, which streams everything hot, from local up-and-comers to global chart-toppers, 24/7 right out of Allston.

Lunch Break at Samsøn [Best Gallery]

Take a break from the grind and refresh your eyes and inspiration with a stroll through this hip South End spot. The space recently turned ten years old, but it shows no signs of its age with its ever-evolving aesthetic. Visitors can expect to enjoy work from young, unknown artists as well as fresh pieces from established names. Stop by Samsøn for a quick, fun dose of culture.

Happy Hour at Parlor Sports [Best Sports Bar]

Work’s over and it’s time to unwind. Parlor Sports provides all of the easy comfort of a sports bar—without the stifling posturing of a sports bar. Catch the Sox game on one of the many flat-screen TVs while perusing a menu of foodie-friendly bar food that really raises the, um, bar.

Rock Out at the Sinclair [Best Rock Club]

It’s been open for barely a year, but this Harvard Square venue really knows what it’s doing. Perfect for date night—or flying solo—the Sinclair proves itself to be an invaluable addition to the city’s music scene with it’s killer space, solid cocktail menu, and a lineup that caters to even the most judicious show-goers. Then stumble home tipsy and satisfied, ready to do it all again tomorrow.
