Mayor Marty Walsh captured the spirit of the city when he spoke out about this winter’s record-breaking snowfall: “I don’t know what to say to anybody anymore. Hopefully it will stop eventually.” To say everyone is ready for this winter to be over would be an understatement.
In the meantime, here’s something fun—even if it is a little outdoorsy—for us cabin-fever-stricken and snow-bound Bostonians to do: support local businesses by playing Boston Bingo, and you may get something in return yourself. Enter completed cards to win tickets to see the Bruins or even a chance to sip lattes with the Mayor himself.
And while it may be hard to get to your favorite restaurant when the wind chill is 20 below and you’re stuck in between two disabled trains, you’ve probably already finished some of the squares today: hit the gym, order something “large” (espresso, please), and snack on a croissant. Or go for a whimsical option: treat your furry friend to something nice, visit your local bookstore or snag something spicy. Besides, some activities are long overdue. When was the last time you treated yourself to a blowout or mani/pedi? Your winter-worn hands and split ends will thank you.
Spring can’t come soon enough, but picking out flowers for a loved one might speed up the wait.
