Spoiler alert: This was Steve’s favorite lobster roll of the weekend - and he had three. Of course, Steve had the lobster roll and I had the salmon kale salad. After checking out all of the stalls (don’t miss the lavender grey tea macarons from Finesse Pastries), we both settled on Red’s Best. Steve had 4 Boston food goals: Lobster rolls, oysters, fried clams, and clam chowder. (We did walked through Quincy Market and it was PACKED. Steve and I are huge market fans, so we ended up at the latter. We’d planned to have lunch at Quincy Market, but we stopped at a pop-up shop with local artisans, 1630, and were told to avoid the market and try Neptune’s Oyster or Boston Public Market. Its dome is gilded, just like Denver’s capital building.įrom there, we stopped a few places along the Freedom Trail: Granary Burial Grounds (to see the graves of Revere, Adams, and Hancock), the Old State Museum (just for the building), Faneuil Market, Quincy Market, the Paul Revere House, Copp’s Hill, and Old North Church. We walked through the park - it was in the high 60s - and ended up at the State House.
I was craving an acai bowl, so we stopped at Pressed and we ate at Boston Common. We started the morning walking along Charles Street, which is packed with restaurants and bars. (Keep reading for a better hotel suggestion, though!) For $188/night on weekend nights in Beacon Hill, I couldn’t complain.
It was in a great location and the room was really big (with a kitchenette!) and clean. I’m going back to sharing our trip by days because I used Visit a City (another planning site/app I recently shared with Becky) and it’s broken down by days.įirst, I have to give credit to our B&B. We ended up with a good deal through for the John Jefferies House, a B&B on the edge of Beacon Hill. I knew that we wanted to stay in a pretty central location, so I looked in Beacon Hill and Back Bay. When inexpensive flights opened for Memorial Day weekend, I finally convinced Steve that we needed to spend it in Boston. I wanted to go for years throughout my 20s, but budget and being with a hardcore Yankees fan pushed it lower on the list. The last time I was in Boston, I was 18 and visiting colleges.
