    So of course Boston has free wifi at all the farmers markets in the city. This one has the best hand made sandwiches and fresh coffee and delicious men to drool over

    Absolutely brilliant open market. Even though most vendors except plastic, make sure to carry some cash. And don't leave before passing by the food trucks.

    Quite possibly one of Boston's biggest crafts + arts + farmers markets and it takes place every Sunday during the summer! Take some time to go, it's entirely worth it.

    There is typically a good selection of cool things for dogs here. There is a great Fido Loves article about taking your dog to SoWa Sundays. Very pet friendly....

    A lot of places accept cash only. There is an ATM inside the SoWa Vintage store, but they'll hit you with a $3.50 service fee.
