Going to Boston in May. Land on a Saturday afternoon (2:30). Will be there until Tuesday morning. Don't plan on renting a car until Tuesday, when we drive north. No specific plans yet but eyeing either the Red Sox game Saturday night or Sunday during at noon. Also want to stop at Trillium, just to buy cans, don't care to drink at the tap room if its busy. Lastly, through your recommendation we will likely download the app and walk around the Freedom Trail stuff.

So a couple questions...

I need help figuring out a place to stay. Everything looks to be expensive AF. I figure as long as we are near a T stop, we shouldn't have a problem getting to any of those things? AirBnB or hotel, no preference. Any recommendations are appreciated. Just don't want to pay $400/night if I can avoid it.

Also, any preference on the Sox game Saturday night vs Sunday at noon? Saturday night seems like it would be fun, and would give us the other 2 days to pretty much do whatever we want. Tickets are about the same price. Mainly worried I wouldn't have time to land at the airport, check in to wherever I am staying, then get to Fenway in time.

First, you're right to not rent a car until you're leaving the city. Not only is a car not necessary, but the city can be a pain in the arse to drive in if you're not used to it.

The new location for Trillium is in the Seaport, and you can get cans/bottles there and also have some on draft if you want.

I'd highly recommend trying to stay along the Red Line if possible - easiest line to get in and out of the city. Check out some AirBnBs, you'll tend to get better prices than hotels around here. May is a popular time to come up here, so the hotels get pricey.

I'd actually recommend going to the Sunday noon game. You'd be surprised how cold it can still be at night in May, so you'd probably be more comfortable sitting in the sun for the game.
