Awesome playground that the kids love right on the canal. Just walk West from the house along the cultural trail to the canal to find it. Follow the Cultural signs where the brick path ends since it follows a sidewalk for a bit past Pennsylvania Street by the American Legion Mall.

Off the beaten path
Nice place for having some drinks either inside or in the completely enclosed outdoor beer garden. If you want to get together with some friends but don't want to fight the Mass Ave crowds this is a great option.

Nice distillery with an intimate feel. Often has a small band or individual musician performing. Right across the street from Cannonball Brewery and uses Cannonball for food.

Small brewery with a really good, albeit small, food menu. Seems to usually have novel beer flavors and IPAs so if you prefer traditional lagers there may not be as much to choose from.
