The Picky Plate

Recently, I had a few of you ask me for travel recommendations for trips I’ve been on. Whether you’re planning a trip in the same location soon or  thinking of going in the future, I decided to create a “travel” portion of my blog to share ideas and “must see’s” for your trip. Enjoy!

Last year, my husband and I took a trip to Boston to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. I’ve been meaning to post this entry for a whole year now, good thing I’m finally getting around to it! Neither of us had ever been before. Boston is consisdered the “walking city” and I’m sure you can guess why. Everything is very “foot friendly”, we walked everywhere! We had a blast, here are the highlights followed by my recommendations:

We stayed at the Harborside Inn Hotel on State Street. We were very pleased and liked the fact that it’s not a chain hotel, but rather an authentic local hotel that was built hundreds of years ago (but recently renovated). It is located near Faneuil Hall Market and in short walking distance to many attractions.

Here are some photos from around the city:

So many places to eat and all were delicious! Especially the seafood.

We took a tour of the Boston Red Sox stadium- Fenway Park, and got to see the famous “Green Monster”.

Cheers!

Did you know that Boston is the home of the first telephone?

Mike’s City Diner– the best meal we had and ironically the cheapest meal we had. You might recognize it from the TV show “Diners, Drive In’s and Dives“.

Here is my list of ”must see’s” and recommendations:

•  Fenway Park Tour
• Skywalk Observatory - Awesome for taking photos!!
• Freedom Trail - Leads to 16 historic sites, great for photos.
• Quincy Market – So many different kinds of food.
• Samual Adams Brewery
• The Original Cheers Restaurant
• Mike’s City Diner – Get the pilgram sandwich!! Wow.
• Harvard Square
• Boston Common Park – The oldest park in the country and 50 acres.
• Ride the ferry at the harbor!
