I think you can do better than Grand Concourse... Station Square and Ross Park are not all that unique and not really much to write home about.

If the kids are more mature, the museums will be a great way to spend an afternoon. In the morning, do take the incline up to Mt. Washington and check out the skyline... very touristy but definitely worth it if you haven't visited in a long time. Do you enjoy a certain type of cuisine? I could give a restaurant rec from there.

Station Square blows IMO. It could be so much better and interesting than it is.

Yeah it's sad honestly because the location is killer

Very true. It feels like a time warp to 1998 when you're there

It's not as bad since they've gutted everything and and trying to bring more retail into the warehouse, but definitely more dining focused than anything right now.

We're pretty flexible with meals (no seafood only joints though because of allergies). Gastropubs, modern restaurants. Maybe even something with a view. (I love the fact that everyone is poo-poo'ing my grand concourse. That's my dad coming out of me as he was old fashioned and lame 😂

haha yeah I am not saying GC is particularly bad, just that it's okay for a lot more money. Maybe try Tako? Japanese-Mexican fusion, cool space, very modern downtown, family friendly enough. If you want a view your best bet is Altius, but that's a $$$$ sorta place.

OP just be aware I believe 1/2 inclines are closed for improvements.
