Candlepin Bowling is something you'll probably only ever find in New England, and Sacco's is one of the few places in the Boston Area for candlepin bowling.

Wonderful Italian food! One of my AirBNB guests introduced me to this place and it's amazing for Italian food. I believe Giacomo's is also the top-rated Italian restaurant on Yelp for the Boston Area.
As a heads up: the place does not take reservations and the queue can be a bit long. (On the other hand, if you're looking for a good meal on a busy night and forgot to make a reservation ahead of time, this puts you in the same boat as everyone else instead of being screwed by not having a reservation...)
