Lauren's Travel Tips for Boston

What are the best places to eat and drink in Boston?

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!

What are the best things to do in Boston?

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!

What is the best tip for going on your honeymoon to Boston?

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.

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.

What is your best overall travel tip for Boston?

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 :)
