My friend is getting married, and we’re planning a fun and chill celebration for her! There are four of us, and we initially thought about a spa day in NYC, but one of our friends can’t get into a pool for health reasons.

We’re not really into the party scene, so we’re looking for something more low-key, like unique experience, a cozy activity, or anything relaxing and fun in either NYC or Boston.

Would love to hear any ideas! Thanks in advance!
