Who knows Boston?
What are some recommendations for restaurants, wine bars, things to do (outside of the touristy things)?

@ChampagneOnIce Omg yes, I didn't mention this on my list, but if any kind of museum is on your to-do, then this is the one not to miss.

There's great Italian food there. Just walk the North End section and let your nose decide. If you're big on history, head to the Union Oyster House. One of, if not the oldest restaurants in the country. Boston is a great walking city. And while it is touristy, the walking history tour is cool

@ChampagneOnIce Omg, I love reading old grave stones. The Granary cemetery has Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Paul Revere, and others.
And letting your nose guide you in the North End is sound advice. Not many bad meals to be had there. Some are pricey though. Check the menu on the way in. ;)

@sarabee1995 I visited the Granary cemetery and Copp’s Hill. So interesting!

@ElwoodBlues Thanks! I’m actually staying in Cambridge. Walked around yesterday. It’s lovely!

@ChampagneOnIce The MIT museum is probably one of the coolest things to see in Boston (Cambridge), but you gotta be at least a little geeky to appreciate it fully.

@GuyWithOpinions Boston Pizza?? You mean that Canadian chain restaurant that usurped our name? 🙄 If you want local look for Regina Pizzeria in the North End, or Santarpio's over in Eastie.

@sarabee1995 yes. That one.

@ChampagneOnIce The JFK Library is nice, but unless you are into JFK (and a lot of people are) or something about that era in particular, it wouldn't be on my "short-visit-to-Boston" list.

@ChampagneOnIce The Newbury Street area is cool if you want to shop ... and by shop I mean shop at very high end (i.e. expensive) boutique-y shops.

One place that's really great to visit is The North End. It's the Italian section of Boston and has amazing restaurants and bakeries!
The Boston Common is really nice and the Arnold Arboretum is beautiful as well to walk or stroll.
If you are ever near Dedham MA, just 30 minutes south of Boston, go to the Brick House cafe. Just delicious food ! And there's a mini golf right across from it. Although I'm unsure if they are closed for the season. 🙂

@ChampagneOnIce I went to Italy once too and while their food was amazing, the Italian food in Boston is absolutely delicious too 🤤Even though it's a bit outside of the city, the Brickhouse cafe is just perfect for Italian food! The owner is from Italy🙂
