Wear red socks with your Converse. Rebecca Knight on jazz and lobster in America’s most museumly city
By rebecca knight
Don't visit from December to March, unless you love the cold. Come in bloomy May, August (blueberry season) or better still October, when you can ooh at the changing leaves in crisp sweater weather.
Do stay in Back Bay or Beacon Hill, all tree-lined streets and ivy-covered brownstones. Try the Eliot Hotel or the Liberty, formerly the Charles Street Jail, overlooking the river.
