Things To Do
Mike's Pastry
It's a serious Boston debate... Which is better?? Mike's Pastry or Modern Pastry? We say Mikes! Decide for yourself, both bakery's are just feet away from each other on Hanover Street.
Boston Public Market
Who doesn't like local tea? Or fresh apple cider dounts? This market is one of our absolute North End favorites! It's a must see local market.
Prudential Center
We typically spend HOURS at the Prudential Center - All the shopping you could imagine, as well as some of the best rooftop bars you will find in Boston. June weather makes perfect for brunch at a rooftop restaurant such as Earls or Terra at Eataly. Speaking of Eataly, this Italian market will serve up the BEST croissants you will ever have. Fun Fact: Amanda absolutely despised croissants until she had a life changing experience at Eataly.
Freedom Trail
An absolute classic, you can't visit Boston without taking a walk down the freedom trail. The trail is not too long (Boston is tiny), and you will see sights such as: Massachusetts State House, Granary Burying Ground, Benjamin Franklin Statue, Old South Meeting House, Old State House, Site of Boston Massacre, Faneuil Hall, Paul Revere's House, Old North Church, Bunker Hill Monument, USS Constitution.
Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum
We went here on a date after first moving to Boston. If you want to reenact the Boston Tea Party, this is the spot for you. Throw tea cartons over the side of ships, take a tour thru the ships, and end your experience at the tea restaurant that overlooks the harbor.
Public Garden
Right next to the Boston Common, the Boston Public Garden has a modest name but is truly much more than just a garden. It's one of the most beautiful places in Boston, with some of the oldest trees in the state and more ducks than you can count. If you only see one thing while you're in Boston, this is it!
Sam Adams Boston Taproom
As the Sam Adams commercial will say "Your Cousin, from Boston", this is the place where it all started! The tap room is a great place to go and enjoy a beer. And as the actual Sam Adams said "Let no man thirst for good beer".
Cheers
"Where Everybody Knows your Name". Founded in 1969 as the Bull & Finch Pub, Cheers Beacon Hill became the original inspiration for the setting of the TV show Cheers. Grab a beer and visit the shop, and don't forget to go upstairs to see a full replica of the set of the show.
