We know this is Labor Day weekend, so we encourage our friends and family to make a trip of it! Take a day trip into Boston or spend a night on the Cape - here are a few of our recommendations.
Take a quick 25 min train ride to downtown Boston. Please see the "Travel" section of our website for information on public transit for the Greater Boston area.
If you plan to visit the Cape please reach out! We'll see what you're looking to do and give you the best recommendations on where to sleep, what to eat, and what to do.
Tour the oldest wooden framed house in North America.
Learn more about Dedham's history at the historical society.
Spend an afternoon exploring the MFA.
We love to take a quick walk through Wilson. See if you can find the old hunting lodge or the view of Boston (tip - you have to climb the big rock at the very top!)
With entrances in both Dedham and Needham this 739 reservation is home to more than 100 species of birds.
Vivian spent her childhood visiting the Blue Hills with her mom and even worked here in high school. Here you'll find easy walking paths or more rigorous hikes. Be sure to stop by the Trailside Museum, where you can see injured wild animals the naturalists are working to rehabilitate.
This city owned, Harvard managed arboretum was designed by Charles Sprague Sargent and Fredrick Law Olmsted. Home to 14,980 individual plants this 281 acre arboretum is easily one of our favorite places. We also took our engagement pictures here. Walk up Pete's Hill for one of the best views of Boston.
Be sure to take a stroll through Dedham Square and check out our local businesses! You can pop into the Boston General Store and The Nest for some shopping, grab a bite at Oscar's or Kouzina, and then see a movie at the Community Theater.
Oscar's is known for its excellent beer list and great burgers! Check them out for a bite right in town.
Kouzina is our favorite restaurant in the square! We highly recommend the Greek salad with grilled chicken, spanakopita, the Greek burger, and the meatless grape leaves.
If you're a coffee fan George Howell will not disappoint.
Juliet is one of our favorite restaurants. Especially their brunch! We recommend going with a group and ordering a few dishes to share. We especially love their pastries and breakfast tacos. If you plan to attend for dinner please note that reservations are required.
Dali is one of the best Spanish tapas restaurants in the area. Everything on the menu is amazing. Don't forget to save room for for churros! Reservations are typically required. If you have a small party you can try to get there early and grab a seat at the bar without a reservation.
If you love beer you will not want to miss the opportunity to drive out to Tree House. It's about 1 hour from Dedham, but is always worth the drive. When you arrive you'll be able to have a pour, grab a bite from a food truck and explore their walking trails. Don't forget to get some cans to go!
