I am looking to go to Boston for a quick weekend in two weeks from now. Oct 27th -30th. Staying for 3 nights and looking for recommendations for things to d and best neighborhoods to stay at. If there is a Sephardic shul nearby that great but chances are wont be attending. Also looking for things to do.

There's a Sefardi shul on Corey St in Brookline/Brighton, Rabbi Hamaui.

There is also a sefardic shul on Ward Street in Newton, across street from Beth El and down the block from Shaarei Tefillah, both modern orthodox ashkenaz.
