Ugh, it's New England and it's autumn. Why would anyone traipse around Boston and Cambridge? You want to see autumn colors and beautiful landscapes. Get on a train going North to beautiful Cape Ann, the far, far suburbs. You can head for Gloucester – Italian cafes, a harbor, maybe dinner if you see something you like walking around the town.
On the train trip to Cape Ann, which goes along the ocean, you can get out at Beverly. See a movie at the wonderfully restored Cabot Theater and have dinner nearby at any one of some excellent restaurants. Get out at Beverly Farms and have dinner in one of the few small restaurants downtown (one block long), then walk to the beach.
