Boston: From Harbor to Harvard

Boston

Boston is a city of contradictions: centuries-old cobblestone streets lined with cutting-edge biotech startups, Ivy League prestige alongside working-class neighborhood pride, bitter winters that somehow produce the warmest community spirit.

Pulse Boston has leaned into these contradictions, creating adventures that showcase the city's many personalities. A morning might start with a walk along the Freedom Trail and end with a craft beer tasting in a converted warehouse in the Seaport District.

The Neighborhood Approach

Unlike cities built on a grid, Boston is a patchwork of distinct neighborhoods, each with its own character. Our adventures are designed around these neighborhoods — Beacon Hill one week, Jamaica Plain the next, Somerville after that. Members discover parts of the city they've lived near but never explored.

College Town, Grown-Up Friendships

Boston has more colleges per square mile than almost anywhere on Earth, which means a constant influx of young professionals who arrived as students and stayed. Many of them find that the social infrastructure of college disappears after graduation. That's exactly where Pulse steps in.
