🚗🍂 Consider this your sign to take the day trip you’ve been thinking about…

We all know the leaves are the MVP of autumn, but just a short drive from Boston, has everything you need for a quintessential New England fall day. 🍁

Here’s our itinerary:
🍎 Apple picking, pumpkins + c***r donuts at Carter Hill Orchard
🍦Ice cream, animals + fall flowers at Beech Hill Farm
🍷 Locally made w**e, rows of vines + views at Black Bear Vineyard

🍂🚂 Consider this your sign to take the fall day trip…

Your friendly reminder that weekend passes are just $10, monthly passes are 50% off through November, AND monthly pass holders can bring a friend for just $1 each way on weekends.

So, we obviously had to map out some of our favorite fall stops along the Commuter Rail.

☕️💖Luckily, I have L.L.Bean x Dunkin’ tote… and a free medium iced coffee for National Coffee Day. 😌

Today 9/29 at 10 a.m., Dunkin’ and L.L.Bean are dropping their iconic limited edition collab featuring a Boat and Tote, Dunkin’ inspired sweaters, and of course, these mini totes made specifically for your Dunkin’ order (duh). We got ours at the L.L Bean Seaport’s pop up, open ‘til noon!

Which one do you have your eye on? 👀

🤯☕️ The perfect collab doesn’t exi …

Well, we stand corrected after learning that Dunkin’ and L.L.Bean are teaming up for their first-ever collab this fall. And let’s just say, the merch is FIRE.

On deck: A limited-edition collection that includes a Dunkin’-inspired sweater in their classic pink and orange hues and a Dunkin’-themed Boat and Tote (major).

The sweater cup holders at out today, but they’ll also be rolling out mini L.L. Bean totes made to carry your Dunkin’ bevvy, too.

😭🚗 Let’s just say … the Pike could NEVER.

Introducing Wada Hoppah, a new wakeless, electric ferry service that will soon ship commuters up and down the Charles River.

This whole idea started when founder Drew Rollert was trying to get to a Red Sox game, but the buses weren’t showing up and his Uber kept canceling. So he thought … Why can’t a boat take us there? And it’s a great question because a lot of the dock infrastructure already exists.

Drew plans to add more (and bigger) boats to the fleet in the future, and hopes to hit the water soon.

Would you try Wada Hoppah?
