I'll be graduating college in a few weeks. I'm lucky to have a great job, a great apartment right in the middle of downtown Cambridge, and a few friends who will be spending their summer in the Boston area, so hopefully the transition won't be too hard.
However, I'm still mildly worried about finding things to do, meeting new people, etc. I'm a fairly social person, but I've had the luxury of being around people my own age on a daily basis for most of my life, and now I'll be the youngest guy at my job by a number of years. I'm not saying that I won't be able to hang out with my coworkers, but when most of them have kids it may be hard to connect on a personal level.
So my question to HN is what advice do you guys have on finding a new circle of people, both in the personal and professional sense, especially after moving somewhere new. Also, if you happen to be from Boston I wouldn't object to specific recommendations ;-).
Thanks!
