    Pavement Coffeehouse

    Head down to Pavement Coffeehouse for breakfast. By this time, the coffee is fresh, the bagels are homemade, and the sun is fully up, casting a warm glow over the neighborhood.

    Fenway Park

    Stroll down to Fenway Park. Walk the perimeter in the morning light. The stadium is quiet, and the historic brick facade looks striking in the early daylight.
