An effing stupendous beer list with oysters that make the beer seem paltry. Island Creeks. Get 'em and shut the hell up.
It's the best cocktail bar in Boston without breaking a sweat. And you shouldn't either, when you notice there's no menu. Tell 'em what you like and they'll make you happy.
Hell of a fun way to kill an afternoon, and the brewery tour isn't necessary. Just come, drink, and try the pretzels.
Hey, its history. You're in Boston. You don't wanna ignore history, do you? (The food isn't great but it's still worth your time, plus it's hard to mess up oysters).
Overpriced and crowded unless the game sucks, but damn, this is a cool way to experience the best park in baseball.
I dig the vibe in here. They have a solid seafood menu, and the beer list and cocktails are well above average (especially for the area).
Everyone raves about the McKim building, but don't forget to spread the love to the Johnson building, especially with the renovation by William Rawn. Great for all architecture buffs.
Old school as heck. Come after you've had too many elsewhere and continue to have more. The stairs might look challenging, but you can do it, you knucklehead.
The space is as beautiful and brilliant as the food. Excellent wine list. I wasn't crazy about the Italian cocktails but that's just a personal preference.
Now that's a tasty sandwich. If it's your first time, don't crack under the pressure. It'll be worth it when sauce is dripping down your face and the meat sweats start.
This has to be the best coffee shop in Boston, right? Splendid coffee, exciting selection of coffee equipment, beautiful design, and fast WiFi — can you ask for more?
It's on the fringe of tourist hell, but it's one of the best Irish bars in Boston in my book.
Super cool vibe. Like, seriously good design. So much better than most rock clubs. Also a killer lineup of music (and beers).
Beautiful, trendy hotel that's convenient to the airport, all the new restaurants and bars in the Seaport, and Downtown Boston. Don't skip Outlook in the lobby or Lookout on the roof.
Order the TBS Burger. It’s not always on the menu but they’ll still make it. Top notch cheeseburger with gruyere, caramelized onions, bacon, and pickles. Plus, it’s served with a salad, not fries.
Not often a hotel restaurant just happens to be one of the best restaurants in the neighborhood. Get the Funky Chicken Ramen and Brains on Crack!
I dare you to find a bar with as much character. Quirky and irreverent vibe with a stellar draught beer list and good burgers and hot dogs.
This place is extremely cool. Love the vibe, the vinyl, the heated pool in the winter; it’s all great. A gem in a sea of generic hotels.
An architectural icon, Ben Thompson's D/R spearheaded modern product and industrial design in the United States.
I’m obsessed with their oysters and spin on clam chowder (thinner, multiple types of clam). Really, the entire menu is full of inventive dishes that’s a refreshing shift from classic Boston seafood.
Didn't expect to find a place like this so close to Fenway, but damn is it good. Natural wines, good snacks, cool vibe, and great folks behind the bar.
Come for the history, take a gander at the art, but linger for the stunning courtyard.
I can’t believe I went 30+ years without having a Celery Caesar Salad. Possibly the best salad I’ve ever had? Get it.
