Lord knows there's no shortage of finance bros in Boston, and now they've got a new place of worship. The Museum of American Finance just opened and the Smithsonian-affiliated spot promises to make the subject fun. I’ll believe that when I see it….

BEST DAY TRIPS FROM BOSTON

We love Boston but it'd be a shame to spend all summer inside city limits. New England makes it easy to swap city streets for sandy shores, mountain trails or charming towns within a few hours. And thanks to Free Summer Fridays on the Commuter Rail, getting out of town doesn’t have to cost you a thing.

IN THE FUTURE

LOCALS ONLY

• Nothing says New England summer quite like a clambake. The Liberty Hotel is serving up fresh Maine lobster and all the buttery, beachy classics that belong on the table at tonight's annual summer feast.

• Happy Bastille Day! From flaky pastries to steak frites, Boston's French restaurants are serving up everything you need to make it très bon.

• Too humid outside? Cool off inside with axe throwing, mini golf and more at one of Boston's best activity bars.
