Vibe in one line
Chill coastal town that min-maxed food and scenery instead of size.
Rough population size
About 70k in the city; ~500k in the metro.
Transit / getting around
Walkable downtown and waterfront; buses exist but this is mostly a feet-and-uber type situation.
My take
My go-to escape hatch when Boston feels loud. Great beer, ridiculous seafood, and the kind of streets that make you consider buying a notebook and becoming “a writer.”
