4 Best Day Trips From Boston to Salem, Newburyport, and Provincetown | Condé Nast Traveler
"Just a short stroll from downtown, Salem Willows has been one of Salem's most beloved spots since the town's Colonial days. Today it's the perfect way to kill an hour or two—the small park is packed with plenty to do. You can grab a snack at one of the restaurants along the southern edge, ride the carousel, or play a round of skeeball with the kids (or a fun-loving date) at the arcade. Do as the locals do: grab a bag of fudge from E.H. Hobb's candy shop, located on the park's eastern edge; snag a bench overlooking the water; and watch the sunset before heading to dinner." - Todd Plummer
