By The Books: Get To Know Your College Student’s Neighborhood

Get To Know Your College Student’s Neighborhood

It’s that time of year again when the streets of Boston fill to the brim with college students, cracking open books, heading out to parties, and doing what college kids do best – HAVE FUN. Boston is full of different neighborhoods with fun activities and delicious food to explore. There’s always a little mystery about what goes on when your kid goes to college as they start a new chapter of their life in a new and unfamiliar place. That’s why we encourage you to get to know their new neighborhood while you’re here to drop them off or when you come to visit them.

At Bites of Boston we have four different walking neighborhood food tours all in close proximity to tons of colleges. If your college student attends school near one of these four neighborhoods then you’ve got to join us for an afternoon of food and fun to learn a little bit more about your kid’s new home.
