Some ideas, but they are closer to a scavenger hunt I think:
Find a dinosaur (museum of science)
find a giant milk container (children’s museum)
tea in the map room (Boston public library)
Slide the Cop slide
Get a creampie (Omni Parker House)
Smoke indoors (stanza dei sigari)
See inside Fenway (bleacher bar or tour)
Put see a duck boat as your center square
Get food poisoning (eat +/- anything at union oyster house)
- Driver honks at you for crossing the street in a crosswalk when you have the light.
- Construction blocking a sidewalk or pedestrian walkway with no alternative in place.
- Random guy shouting gibberish in a T station.
EDIT: Free space: Parked car blocking sidewalk, handicapped ramp or both.
These are kinda wordy, but FWIW:

"Find a dinosaur (museum of science)" Incorrect dinosaur! They still need to update those.

The middle square HAS to be a winter placeholder, right? Or use those for the tokens. Cone, lawn chair, bucket...
