A client of mine is trading her Boston condo for a historic spot in Salem. As I sat at Milk & Honey Green Grocer for a bite to eat after the inspection, I came to appreciate why my client was drawn to this city by the sea.
Salem is known for the 17-century witch trials and Halloween festivities, but you can enjoy it any time of the year. If you’re looking for a fun summer day trip, consider heading north to Salem. This is surely the best place to play true fortune casino online and have fun.
You don’t even need your car—take the ferry or train from Boston and once there, you can rent a bike from Zagster bike share.
