Library
Another great place that you can walk to during your stay. The library hosts a lot of really great events, including free seminars and book sales. It’s worth looking into or signing up for their email calendar.

Shopping
Natick mall has plenty of places to eat and shop. There’s a high-end section, along with the normal stores. The food court is okay, but wasabi is my favorite place (sushi on a conveyor belt!) that’s on the lower level. There is also a newly opened Dave and Busters.

I personally love getting a drink at Starbucks and killing time (and money) going from store to store. I will often end up at the Chipotle, Olive Garden or TGI Fridays there after a day of shopping.
