Climb the monument. It can be a bit of a workout, but just take your time and stop when you have to. It's a great experience and the views from the top are awesome.
Great new craft beer bar in a 'hood that really needs one. Margherita pizza is simple and very well done. Eat one with a Trillium brew. Fort Point Pale Ale if they have it. Yep.
Literally everything they make here is worth trying. Brioche au chocolate is a real standout though. Everything is delicious...but nothing is cheap. This is one pricey bakery.
Line gets quite long here but it moves quick and the baristas are fairly efficient. Great espresso drinks. Grab one and go chill in the Ace lobby, if you can find a seat.
Free parking in the lot next to Auburndale Wine & Spirits, which is in the same building as Dunkin'
This Dunkin' is actually incredibly fast and efficient, if you can navigate through all the shiftless layabouts and lottery-ticket scratchers outside.
Visit the Common (not Commons, that’s what tourists call it) on Memorial Day and see all the flags. It’s truly beautiful. And appropriately memorable.
Do not eat the ramen from the ramen bar. It is terrible and overpriced. You're better off with a $0.50 bag of Top Ramen. You've been warned.
Probably my fav ramen in the Boston area. I get veg gyoza, karaage chicken and soy sauce ramen every damn time. Too good to get anything else. Don't be shy with the togarashi either.
Pemberton has a great selection of craft beer, with a wide variety of quality local beers and many more American and European brews. I find more rare beers here than I do at most local liquor stores.
One of the better bakeries in the North End. Authentic Italian breads, cookies and pizza. Seeded and braided rolls are perfect for a meatball/chicken Parmesan sandwich. Prices are very reasonable too.
Never had a bad meal here. But the standout item for me is the corn bread. If you come here and don’t get corn bread you’re a damn fool. All the hot sauces are great too.
Craft Beer Cellar has one of the best beer selections in the Boston area, and it's also a great place to get glassware, beer-related books and magazines, sauces made with beer and even apparel.
