To the courts we go!

I feel like that is also stupid/ just a money grab. Welcome to Massachusetts I guess

Hooray!

As a side note.. what if you drive to MA for 28 days, leave on the 29th day and then come back? Does the 30 day clock reset?? I also thought this only applies to people who MOVE from out of state. Like if you move to MA, then you have 30 days to register here. Not people just doing an extended stay here. But I guess that would make too much sense??

Tbh I lived in NH for 3 years with MA plates and no one ever batted an eye. I have many questions for the RMV.

I find this hilarious.

15 years ago I moved from RI to MA. Completely forgot about my plates. I was running on expired RI tags for well over a year.

Jeez I saw the headline earlier but I didn't read the story, I guess I'm liking that nobody's reported to me and for living here for a year and a half with out of state plates. I'm not sticking around so hopefully this crap doesn't happen to me.

I thought is was for college students and transient professors.

Your post appears to be one of a number of commonly asked questions about the port city of Boston. Please check the sidebar for visitor information. Ah Hi! Ive always wanted to respond to one of these, but I normally reach the post a few hours too late. I'll do my best to give you some good recommendations. So first things first, Boston is VERY walkable and easy to get around, especially if you take the T (what we call our subway). People on this subreddit love to shit on the T (and everything else honestly, very pessimistic group of people), but in actuality its great, especially by American standards. I would consider getting a day pass so you can ride it as much as you want, but I am not sure how much they cost/if it would be worth your while (a single ride is around $2.75 I believe?? Not really sure). With that being said, I would say one of the first places you should check out is the North End. It is a very Italian American neighborhood, and has a pretty strong European-esque feel to it. There are great Italian restaurants and shops everywhere. The touristy thing to do is to go to Mikes Pastry's for cannolis, but I (and I think most locals would agree) recommend Bovas instead. The whole neighborhood is super compact and dense, and it will be mad easy for you guys to walk around and check it out. Nearby the North End is Faniuel Hall/Quincy Market, which is probably the epicenter of Bostons historical/tourist scene. The food there might be a bit overpriced/overhyped, but I personally have to recommend the Boston Chipyard. Its a stand within Quincy Market that sells fresh, mini cookies. Ive been living here for five years (and visiting my entire life) and I STILL always go there whenever I am feeling sad and need a pick me up/just craving a cookie. I love it and its absolutely delicious. Id also suggest just strolling around Beacon Hill and the Back Bay neighborhood (particularly Commonwealth Avenue). The architecture there is beautiful, and both are very serene and picturesque, and really just great places to walk around and soak in the ambiance. Both neighborhoods have plenty of bars/restaurants/shops, so youll have plenty of other things to do besides walk around. They are super close to one another, and very conveniently located right in the heart of the city. Also gotta check out the Esplanade, its a cool park right along the Charles River, its super pretty and relaxing, and also right next to Back Bay/Beacon Hill, so really convenient to get to. One of my favorite places in the city. In terms of less touristy things to do, Id suggest going to the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain. Its basically one giant park/tree zoo, and its filled with really beautiful trees and plants, and is just a lovely place to walk around. This is definitely one of the cooler places in Boston, and definitely not something that the average tourist does. Its right at the end of the Orange Line (Forrest Hills), so while it is kinda far out compared to the other places I have mentioned, it really is not that hard/complicated to get to. Great place to just vibe out and relax, and its one of my favorite places in the whole city. Obviously Boston/New England is known for its seafood, and it really is tremendous. There is a lot of debate about which place has the best clam chowder/lobster roll, and it ultimately comes down to preference, but I always recommend to visitors the Barking Crab. It is located right on the water in Bostons Seaport neighborhood, so again, very centrally located. I think the food there is delicious, and I think it offers the best ambience/overall dining experience. It does a good job of kinda replicating the traditional New England seafood shack, while still being more of a legit restaurant. Again, some people may shit on me for that answer, but at the end of the day, if you go, youre gonna have a good time/delicious meal. Other quintessential Boston things are the Freedom trail, Duck Boat Tour, harbor walk, and visiting Fenway (which it seems like you are already doing, although i highly recommend going to a game if you can, not sure if the Sox are in town this weekend). Cambridge is located right across the Charles River from Boston, and while it technically is its own city, it feels like it might as well be an extension of Boston. Both Central and Harvard squares are a lot of fun, with plenty of cool restaurants and stores to check out. One last non-touristy thing I recommend is visiting East Boston, or Eastie. Its really easy to get to on the Blue Line, and is just a really underrated neighborhood as a whole, and definitely is not the type of place a tourist would usually go to. It has some beautiful parks right on the water that have great views, as well as many really good Latin food spots. There is the ICA watershed, which is a really cool contemporary art museum located right in the Boston Shipyard. Also, there is an Australian meatpie place right there called KO Pies that my friends and I always go to when we are in the area. For all I know, it might not even hold a candle compared to the meatpie places you have back home, but the people working there will definitely get a kick out of serving a fellow Aussie. All in all, Boston is an incredible place with a unique sense of charm and distinct identity, and it takes a lot of pride in itself, which I love. It does a great job of blending the big city/small town feels, and in my opinion, is the best city on the East Coast. Please feel free to message me if you want any more specific recommendations.

I just cancelled The Saturday/Sunday Globe 2 weeks ago (I had a 75% off for 16 weeks deal) and the guy on the phone pestered me for 3 rounds to try and keep me.

Boston New York Sports Club shaking in their boots.

YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!’

*Kafkaesque

Yup...can confirm did this throughout all of COVID and beyond with no issues. Complete BS that OP had to deal with this at all.

It’s definitely a bit of both

Some people really have too much time on their hands.

Seriously, what a dick

Could be confirmation bias, but I always noticed the most dickish drivers around had NH plates. I figured it was folks coming down south and thinking that's how you're supposed to drive in the city, but now I wonder if it's more this kind of thing.

Probably took up a parking space that meant someone else was out a spot. So they called them in.

A family member of mine is in the hospital. I've been down 7 days in a month and more on the horizon. I'll hit 30 by June easily just on visiting them.

My sister brought it up as well!.

If they're adjustable your owners manual will tell you how. I've had to do it with mine before.

It’s for this same reason they make you pay sales tax on a car if you transfer the registration to Massachusetts without having owned it for a certain length of time (a year I think)

Huh. Wasn't there supposed to be a hotel going in there?

shit, i never thought about this. i feel like im gonna be looking at NH plates different now lol.
