Boston is such a beautiful city, and there is so much history and culture to it. I loved driving around and seeing something you can tell they have worked hard to keep that historical touch to while other items were very modern. Though I did not get to try and of the staple Boston food, which I was bummed about, I did get to try a lot of amazing unique food, different restaurants take off certain items.
Before I get too much into food, let me touch on some of the other items I got to do while visiting Boston on a Bachelorette trip. One of the fun things we did was take the Boston duck tour, and there are three different locations you can take the tour from. Each is a little different. Our tour started at the prudential center, and the tour guide was hilarious. I loved learning and seeing some of the historical places around Boston. I love the old architecture of buildings, and we saw Trinity Church, the State House, the oldest Police station in Boston, which also doubles as a firehouse now. When we were within the water which was so lovely and really cool to be in a vehicle that drives on land and can be in the water. We went past Cambridge, saw some pretty bridges and just lovely landscapes.
We also went on what I like to call a booze cruise; why do I call it that? Because that is all, we brought with us. The name of the private boating company is called Boston Lux Cruise. Honestly, it hands down the nicest people I have ever met. They are so happy and willing to help and do whatever is needed. If you are going to bring champagne, I would suggest bringing more than two bottles, because that’s how many we brought as since we decided to use the champagne gun that the company provided, which was so fun to use. We ran through the two bottles so quickly; we did bring other bottles, but my own opinion is the champagne bottles are just so much more fun.
Now onto the food; I really loved the best first rooftop we went to, which was called Six/ West; I was so obsessed with the food. Their take on the margarita pizza was amazing, and this is coming from a jersey Italian girl. My favorite brunch spot that we went to was Lincoln Tavern & Restaurant, they served tavern type food but had their own twisted on each item; I shared their breakfast pizza which had poached eggs, bacon, roasted tomatoes, caramelized onions, hashbrowns, fontina, pecorino romano, and tabasco. I am not a fan of poached eggs, but this had so much flavor, and I enjoyed eating every slice.
On our last night in Boston, we went to Mariel; this restaurant is absolutely stunning; you can totally tell they put so much work into every detail in the restaurant, including the walls, which have paintings right on them. They have two very different amazing style large group drinks, both of which are so fun to see and to drink, of course. The great part about this restaurant is that they had so many shareable plates, and we ordered a ton of what they called “snacks,” while some were called small plates. This was perfect for a table of seven girls. Everything they brought out had so much flavor to it. There were so many items I had never tried before and really loved. The management was so amazing as well, and the general manager helped us take great group photos and even gave us advice on where the best location would be to take the photos. I have to say about the management was how outstanding they were at the end of the night. Boston currently has a shortage of Ubers, so we actually ended up being stuck at the restaurant past closing time. They did not give us any issues about staying inside when it was cold and very late out until we could find a car service to get us, and they even gave us a complimentary drink.
