More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start with earbuds in and a city that suddenly feels purposive — lamplights flicker, seagulls argue overhead, and the Atlantic sits indifferent a few blocks away. A recorded voice hands you a case file and a rank: newly minted detective. The first clue drops at a corner deli; the next demands you park and step into a plaza where a street musician provides more than atmosphere. The city begins to rearrange itself into a crime scene and you follow.
