Our weather
Our weather can be a little unpredictable and we are known for our RDF (rain, drizzle, and fog). You'll often need a sweater or coat even on our nicest days because the wind coming in off the Atlantic ocean can be chilly, just think of it as refreshing.

Rental Cars/Cabs/Car Share
Rental cars can be impossible to book during the summer, try booking in advance or look at public transit options. Cabs within the city can be fairly affordable and we should have a car share program up and running soon. If I'm available I'll certainly try to help you out!
