Haven't been there in over 20 years but I will be there for 2 days next week. What amazing things should I do within walking distance of Boston Commons?
The whole city is within walking distance from the Common. Not plural, no S unless you want to get punched.
OK, not Mattapan or JP but you aren't going to go there anyway.
If it were summer, a run along the Charles is very nice on either the Boston or the Cambridge side.
Harvard has great museums. One of them (art museum) is a new building by Renzo Piano.
The BSA (Boston Society of Architects, architects.org ) does tours during the summer, walking and boat. They should have some self guided info now.
If your here on a weekend, the MBTA is doing cheap commuter rail rides - you can take the train out of North Station (under the TD Garden) to Salem
