Introducing: Budget Boston, a members-only monthly series exploring neighborhoods in and around Boston for under $50. Per your request, here's how we’d spend a perfect day around Somerville’s Union Square.
MORNING
🍳 Grab breakfast sandwiches from Vinal Bakery ($6.75). Vinal specializes in homemade English muffin sammies jam-packed with varying combos of over-medium eggs, melty cheese, sausage, and maple butter. Pro tip: pre-order your sammie ahead of time — they often sell out!
🧘 Stretch out with a FREE yoga class at Boynton Yards (FREE). Yes, you read that correctly. The science and innovation campus hosts a free community yoga class every Saturday at 9:30 a.m. Registration opens a week before class time. Remember: Bring your own mat and water!
