The beauty of America's first botanical garden is undeniable. Enjoy the views from a swan boat and make sure to memorialize the visit with a photo beside the George Washington statue.
We recommend beginning in Boston Common and continuing to the Paul Revere statue outside Old North Church. Stop for lunch at Faneuil Hall along the way. If you're feeling adventurous, you can follow the trail all the way to Bunker Hill in Charlestown!
Boston's Emerald Necklace begins at Boston Common and extends to Franklin Park in Jamaica Plain. Rob lived one block away from Franklin Park as a student at Tufts Med. We treasure our memories of walks exploring the Emerald Necklace. Jamaica Pond is among our favorite, and is adjacent to some of our favorite places in Jamaica Plain. We recommend JP Licks for ice cream and Chilacates for authentic Mexican street food.
Treat yourself to a fresh fisherman's platter or to the official lobster roll of the Red Sox at this Seaport stable that is less than a mile from The Intercontinental.
Also in the Seaport, this brewery offers unique options for all beer drinkers. From its famous Congress Street IPA to its sour series that boasts a "daily serving" of fruit, Trillium is a can't miss stop for those who wish to explore the Boston craft beer scene. We have celebrated birthdays and welcomed visitors at the Fort Point location, which offers rooftop seating.
