Lots of good downtown suggestions above. In addition, you might consider a stop to check out Coolidge Corner in Brookline. It’s on the green line and nearish to both BC and BU. Lots of shops and restaurants, including Brookline Booksmith, a fantastic independent bookstore, and JP Licks, a delectable local ice cream chain. It’s also home to the JFK National Historic Site (currently closed, but you could still stroll by to see his birthplace if that’s of interest).
