I love the esplanade. I used to walk there from Cambridge all the time in the summer. Strolling along the river in early evening in the summer is a lot of fun. You can bring a book or a blanket with a picnic basket and enjoy a nice evening on the esplanade. Of course, every year during July 4th, the Boston Pops plays in the Hatch shell, and you can catch a free show on the esplanade. The Pops plays along to the fireworks, so it is quite a spectacular site.
Pros: Romantic
