Things To Do
Walk the Freedom Trail
Boston is full of history, especially our neighborhood in Charlestown! The Freedom Trail begins at Bunker Hill Monument (the site of the Battle of Bunker Hill, also our front yard) and ends at Boston Common. It's the best way to see the highlights of Boston's historical landmarks in a couple of hours - we recommend grabbing a bite to eat at Monument Restaurant or Warren Tavern beforehand to fuel up for your walk!
Visit Fenway Park
Known by some as the Cathedral of Boston, Fenway is America's oldest ballpark and sits in the heart of the city. While you are in the area, we recommend taking a tour to learn about Red Sox legends, stopping in at Loco Taqueria for a bite to eat (get the chips and guac and a margarita if you do), or walking down Landsdowne Street to check out some of our favorite game day pubs (Bleacher Bar has a view of Fenway's outfield that rivals the Green Monster).
Explore the Harbor Walk
While the entire Harbor Walk runs through all of Boston's waterfront areas, we think the best parts are along the North End, Aquarium, and Seaport neighborhoods of the city. Grab a cannoli from Mike's Pastry, visit the New England Aquarium, or spend the afternoon exploring the shops in Seaport. Our favorite spots to grab a drink or a bite to eat along the Harbor Walk are The Sail Loft, Reelhouse Seaport, The Barking Crab, Tatte, and Woods Hill Pier 4.
Shop Along Newbury Street
Newbury Street is Boston's most famous shopping destination and runs through the historic Back Bay neighborhood of the city. It is in close proximity to Charles Street in Beacon Hill, known for its boutiques and restaurants, as well as the Prudential Center and the Boston Public Library, all of which are landmarks worth exploring if you are in the area. We recommend L.A. Burdick and the Thinking Cup if you're craving a sweet treat. If you're in the mood for something savory, head to Joe's American Bar and Grill or the Street Bar in the Newbury Hotel.
