Parks & Nature
Jamaica Pond is part of the Emerald Necklace designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The paved pathway around the Pond is approximately a 1.5 mile loop — great for walkers, joggers, and runners. Boat rentals in summer; the lantern parade in autumn; sledding at “the Sugarbowl” in winter; birdwatching all year round, make Jamaica Pond a great destination to explore. Visit the Emerald Necklace Conservatory's website for more information: https://www.emeraldnecklace.org/park-overview/jamaica-pond/

Food Scene
A warm, intimate space with friendly, knowledgable staff, and delicious food. The Patatas Bravas are a mainstay on the menu and a must have when you visit. Enjoy a glass of Spanish wine and sample from a seasonal assortment of Tapas. Make a reservation to ensure a seat at this great neighborhood restaurant. If you want a new book or some music — you're in luck, because Tres Gatos also runs a book and record store in the back.

If you want delicious ice cream that also happens to be responsibly-sourced, plant-based, and homemade, you'll love FoMu. Staff generously lets you sample flavors, but then the tough part is deciding on which one to order. Some favorites include: Strawberry, Tahitian Vanilla, Chocolate Peppermint Cookie, and Iced Gingerbread Cookie.
