As you come off your conference high after learning about the latest scientific advances to help manage the tiniest patients, I recommend unwinding by stepping outside for a bit of fresh air and taking off your mask as you walk over to a quick lunch at Café on D by Deli of Course. If you have a longer lunch break, mosey on over to Seaport Blvd. to check out some staples or a few pop-up shops. I’ll be heading to Row 34 for their famous a lobster roll and a nice glass of chardonnay.

Following the afternoon sessions, perhaps “What I Learned My First Year as a Director,” by Jenice Baker, MD, FACEP, “Rags to Riches” by James M. Dahle, MD, FACEP, or a review of pediatric ECGs by Annalise Sorrentino, MD, FACEP, you may want to unwind with a few cocktails, so check out the Lookout Rooftop at The Envoy Hotel for spectacular harbor and city views. It can get crowded, so you will want to have reservations. Within walking distance, you will find spectacular dinner options. For the carnivores, Mastro’s Ocean Club is a must, which boasts an amazing ambiance with harbor views and live music on weekends. The dress code is upscale; masks and reservations are a must!

If you’d rather get out of your conference attire before dinner and getting all fancy is not your thing, check out Del Frisco’s or Temazcal, both along the harbor, which always provide a friendly atmosphere to meet new friends or meet up with old ones.

Tuesday

Empty morning schedule? No problem! Start the day with a few minutes of relaxation and meditation or maybe grab your yoga mat and get fit. A few ideal spots I would recommend are the Lawn on D, Waterfront Park, or Fan Pier Park to take a morning stroll along the Harborwalk.

On your way to the Convention Center, here are a few bakeries for coffee, pastries, or bagels:

• Cardullo’s Gourmet Shoppe
• Seaport Café
• Tatte Bakery & Café

On arrival to the Convention Center, find Arun Nagdev, MD, teaching “Upper Body Regional Nerve Blocks” and Ken Milne, MD, discussing some of his “Clinical Pearls from the Recent Medical Literature.” If, on the other hand, you partied a little too hard on Monday night and need to get to a slower start, grab an early lunch with rooftop views at Deck 12 at Yotel Boston. But eventually make your way back to the Convention Center for some education from Catherine Marco, MD, FACEP, with a discussion of “Medical Errors: Prevention & Disclosure.”
