NFT: Boston recommendations

Sweet cheeks barbecue is very good if you want to stay in the Fenway area.

Lunch is taken care of.

there is a great restaurant inside the hotel, but it is high end. Right down the Street is Eastern Standard..also a great spot. ... casual and great food. Fenway area is the Original Boston Beer Works....decent food....great craft beers.

I would take a trip to the North End/Fan Hall Area. Check out the waterfront and walk into the North End for dinner. My favorites are Monica's and Prezza, but there are some famous ones which would be great as well (Giacomo's, Daily Catch, Neptune Oyster, etc.).

get whatever you can...
The location in canton (10-15 outside of boston) also does pours. You can't drink at the one is boston. This stuff is the nectar of the gods.

Greatly appreciated

.

Do the Freedom Trail walking tour. IT leads you through the deep history of Boston (One if by land, two if by sea).

Boston Common and the Public Gardens

Have a beer at Cheers (yes its a tourist trap but its right there next to Boston Common).

Fanuel Hall - lots of shopping, bars, and people entertaining you. If you've been to Covent Garden in London, this is the US copy.

If you love IPAs, you must go.

i like Assaggio a lot.  It’s on Prince Street.  Antico Forno is great, especially if you want to have pizza as an app.   the pizza there is the closest thing to the pizza in Italy.   Massimino’s on Endicott Street is good too.  

and if you haven't been the North End pastry shops are worth the visit (Mike's and Modern) both similar both probably will have lines, and at least one if not both are cash only. I like these espresso toroni things they have (I'm not a sweets guy my dessert would be another steak if i had that option or a single malt scotch, but these are out of this world), but my wife and kids go nuts for the cannoli.

Bunker hill Monument - there is a 15 minute talk

Charlestown Navy Shipyard - USS Constitution and USS Cassin Young are there, with tours.

Lastly, visit Harvard and Cambridge Square

closed like 5 years go, didn't it?

There is a legal seafood test kitchen right near where it was. that is a decent place to go, because it's not like the legal chain, it's more of a one-off restaurant that they try out new dishes (and have most of their stand-byes)

that place had great seafood

they did, it was great.

freaking awesome.

I am flying into Boston tomorrow afternoon and may go there for dinner.

in Boston last time I visited were:

The Salty Pig in Back Bay. Gastropub with some great craft brews and pork specialties.

Galleria Umberto in the North End. Hole in the wall with dirt cheap Sicilian slices and lots of calzones and arancinis.

The Lower Depths is right around the corner from Fenway. Great beer list.

Bukowski tavern is a cool, if hipsterish, dive.

Cambridge Brewing company is across the river but has great beer and really good pub/comfort food.

The Beehive on Tremont has live jazz most nights, a cool atmosphere and good food as well.

A cocktail at the top of the hub is pretty fun too at the prudential center.

I assumed he meant Anthony's Pier 4 on the Boston Waterfront.

I've never heard of Pier 4 in Charlestown.

Trident Booksellers & Cafe in Back Bay.

that opened in Boston in the pru (not too far from the Fenway/Kenmore Square area). Not unique to Boston, but man that prime rib sandwich is incredible.

I walked in NYC from the Empire State Building to Eataly in 30 degree windy freezing rain to get one (not really because I wanted to, but because my boss sort of made me, but it was worth it)

head to Cape Cod instead

where the historic tourist traps are actually worth seeing IMO (e.g. Freedom Trail and all that). I would spend the afternoon doing that stuff and just eat at the game instead of worrying too much about where you're having dinner. Maybe take a tour of Fenway?

i'll be there 3 days/4 nights next week for a conference... hotel in Brookline, conference at Hynes Convention Center

any more recommendations are welcome

Buddy and I went to The Warren Tavern in Charlestown.

Good place.

Great vegan food at the Loving Hut
