Fried oyster sliders at Island Creek Oyster Bar.

Do This

Start the day off right with brunch at Island Creek Oyster Bar in Kenmore Square. Eat your oysters raw by the half-dozen or order them fried in a slider. If you’re craving traditional breakfast fare, try the classic egg-and-cheese sandwich or the brioche French toast smothered in chocolate sauce, banana and vanilla ice cream. Calories don’t count at brunch, right?

A skin care treatment at Jet Set is as soothing on your soul as it is your face.

Walk one minute down the street to Jet Set, a local shop where you can indulge in its Face Mask Bar. The 60-minute session includes a skin care analysis, a cleansing exfoliation, an all-natural face mask application, and a jade roller massage with an in-house essential oil serum. You can choose between four different masks, each with a different goal: hydration, exfoliation, detox or anti-aging.
