Flour bakery - both the sweets and the sandwiches are the best.
Isabella Stewart Gardner museum
Don't try to do more than one thing a day - it wears them out, especially with the train commute
LA Burdicks is worth the stop.
Take a stroll on the Greenway.
We like to stay in Cambridge across the river.
Tatte bakery, the most beautiful pastries and delicious coffee.
The Bull & Finch Pub (inspiration for Cheers tv show) was fun to visit and close to the end of our shoot location just off Charles Street in Boston.
We loved Blackmoor Bar and Kitchen! The steak tips, chili, and autumn squash and mascarpone cheese ravioli were amazing.
We enjoyed the whale watching experience!
For the North End, get to the Gariella Umberto as it opens for good sicilian pizza (Regina's was wonderful at Quincy as well). Or, stop by Cafe Vittoria for a hot chocolate or coffee if your able to get a table! Bring cash to the North End!! We loved Boston Chops as a more formal restaurant, and if you are a baseball fan, try the Bleacher Bar hidden in Fenway!
Don't snooze on Shakespeare in the Commons: it's free and an impressive show. We paid to get seating but feel free to bring a blanket and plan ahead to get a good spot! The sunset sail was great if you are looking for a chill evening, but nothing beats the duck tour if you are looking for something more fun! Don't miss out on the Isabella Garnder Museum or Boston Museum of Fine Arts, it's beautiful!
If you are flexible about your honeymoon date, try to plan it around a game, play, concert, or an Italian feast day to enhance your options activities!! If it's your first time, try not to spend too much money on tours, there is so much information online and on plaques, try to invest the money towards experiences! You also don't need to drive when you are there. Learn how to use the T, and only Uber if you have to. If you are going to the North End, bring cash. Some restaurants only accept it.
Regina’s pizzeria hands down best pizza. The best cafe was The Bittersweet shoppe on newbury.
Proposing to my future wife in the public garden, Fenway Park, and the museum of science.
I love Strega Italiano. The food and drinks are delicious and was very delighted overall
Boston Harbour walk and Disney events.
Serafina, Seaport was delicious! But Barking Crab was the highlight for me.
Seaport was beautiful and walkable!
Eataly
Cheers! Where everybody knows your name ;)
Flytographer!
Spend the day at the Boston Children's Museum!
Capo, Lincoln, Hunters, Loco, Fat Baby
Duck boats, walking newbury street, eating in the north end, going to the beach, hiking Boston Harbor Islands
Early-mid November is sneakily the most beautiful month for Fall colors!
Buttermilk and Bourbon. Great food and atmosphere!
Fenway Park tour. You don’t have to be a baseball fan to enjoy this tour.
If your kids are over the age of 7, I highly recommend Boda Borg! It’s an indoor quest/game/escape room place and our family had the best time there.
Slowing down and walking on the Greenway. It's a nice addition to the City
Find the many playscapes and splash fountains around the city and in the green spaces. Bring a towel for your kid and allow time for them to play and explore. Don't overbook your day with planned /ticketed items. Boston has so many parks and the littles are more than happy to explore them!
We really enjoyed the bar at the W. It was a rainy day and it was a bummer to not be able to go out. The W provided great ambience, good food and drinks.
We had the best weather on the duck boat tour. Our guide was phenomenal and we learned so much about the city.
The kids loved the Tea Party museum. They loved the overall vibe of the city and learned so much.
Mariel - hands down the best.
Loved the historic boat tour.
Pack layers!
Lolitas! Recommended to us by our flytographer, Lolitas food was so delicious. We were celebrating our ten year wedding anniversary and they truly created a special experience.
The best way to see Boston is just to walk around!
Book a flytographer! Your anniversary is a time for celebration, memories and reflection. Having photographs to capture your time in Boston is priceless.
L.A. Burdick chocolates! WOW! Best hot chocolate ever! Milkweed for brunch. Anna Taqueria has the best burritos 🌯!
Flytographer! Aquarium! Duck Tours!
Get your aquarium tickets ahead of time! Dress in layers in Boston.
We love Tatte for breakfast and good coffee. We always left with a bag of treats to munch on throughout the day!
A really great walk is to wander over the Longfellow Bridge to Cambridge and walk along the Charles River. Great views of the water and Boston and it's so close you wouldn't even know you left the city!
Each season has something fun to do - yes even winter. Going on a clam chowdah crawl can take the best part of day if you also have a glass of wine or two at each stop and I promise you won't even notice the cold!
Skiing
If you are ever in Boston, don't forget to get ice cream from Amorino, SRV for Italian fare and Barcelona for Tapas
Walk around historic sites and keep yourself hydrated. You have so many places to visit in and around Boston - definitely do the Duck Tour, visit Sam Adams brewery, State House, Chinatown for Asian food, USS Constitution and Seaport for microbrews.
Use public transport to get to know the city more, unfortunately in times like COVID, it may be better using BlueBikes to get around, minimal contact with other folks. Never drive inside the city, because you will definitely go about in circles :)
Walk through Beacon Hill to admire the homes, don’t miss Acorn Street, but get there early to beat the crowds!
Quincy’s Market is a must with all it’s quirky shops and the fab food court
Visited Boston in December
Photo Shoot Location: North End Neighbourhood
Sarah B. in Boston for Flytographer
Take the T everywhere and don’t be afraid to go all over the city eating at all the amazing restaurants.
Stroll through Beacon Hill and Boston gardens in the fall.
