I'm visiting Boston for the first time in many years, in the middle of May. Besides catching a few games, any other great recommendations you have for me? Restaurants/parks (besides Fenway)/sights/touristy things/etc. I'll be there 4 days, so I will have some time for several things.
Also, would you recommend I rent a car, or Uber everywhere?
Thanks in advance.

Boston is one of the more walkable cities around. The T is ... well, it exists, and often works. Unless you're going to visit the suburbs or the Cape or something a car shouldn't be necessary. I moved away a few years ago so don't have a good sense of what's "hot" anymore!

If you're into science museums, the Museum of Science is world-class. If you're into art, ditto for the Museum of Fine Arts (yeah, neither is named excitingly). If you're really into art, there's also the Gardner and the Institute for Contemporary Arts. If you're into live music of (especially rock or jazz), you're golden. If you're into film, the Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline is one of the leading art-house cinemas in the country, with a big screen in a classic art-deco theater. They'll be showing the newly restored Orson Welles masterpiece Chimes at Midnight to a packed house on Monday the 16th.

Hubway! I was pleasantly surprised when I went back how accessible the town was on a bike. Places that I'd never been to before because they were off the T and too far to walk suddenly opened up.
