It is a city where a 5-year-old boy and an 86-year-old grandmother
wear the same Boston Red Sox cap on the T and ask the same question every morning: How did the Red Sox fare last night? Baseball isn’t just another sport in Boston, it’s part of the culture … it’s Boston. That “Fever Pitch” movie wasn’t a joke. Just get used to it and leave the opposing team jerseys at home unless you want to get hit over the head with a bottle. Seriously, especially Yankees fans.
Boston is a great city that combines its future with its historic Boston.
Past the Tea Party. Hike the Freedom Trail to go back in time for some
Revolutionary history. And then you have the new cosmopolitan
architecture right next to Paul Revere. Think of lovely New England
with those lovely reddish stones.
Faneuil Hall is a must. Explore the North End for Italian food “to die for” …
like grandma does.
Here are our journeyPod picks for your viewing pleasure:
Restaurants
1. Anna’s Taqueria: Yes, there is always a line at the door, but
well worth the short wait. Stick with their world famous chicken,
Pork or beef burrito. Anna’s has become a Boston icon and has two
locations: in Brookline and in Cambridge.
2. Red Bones: Barbecue in the north must have been created here. Great selection of every style of ribs. Great beer menu too. Enter very hungry. Red Bones is located in Cambridge.
3. Ginza: The best sushi in Boston. If you are hungry, try to order
the complete Ship. You will float out of there. The staff and SAKE are
fantastic. Ginza is located next to the St. Mary’s stop in Brookline.
4. Fiore: There is simply not enough space on this list to mention all of them.
of the North End Italian restaurants, so we chose one of our favorites, Fiore. If you have never been to Italy, the North End is the best option. A walk down Hanover Street is like a moment in Italy.
5. Tasca: The best Spanish tapas restaurant in Boston. Fantastic
Sangria and a great selection of tasty tapas. Located in Brighton at
Commonwealth Ave.
6. Sunset Grill: the menu is very diverse with something for everyone. Yes
You have room, you must order the Mud Slide Pie for dessert. For him
Beer Fanatic, Sunset has the most draft or bottled beers of all
from Boston. They must have all the beers that have been made. Situated in
Allston on Brighton Ave.
7. Figs: When he’s not cooking for the television audience, our toddler Todd
English is a nice thin crust pizza. There are only 13 tables in
Figs, so be prepared to wait. Figs is located in Beacon Hill, Boston and
Charlestown.
8. JP Licks: Keeping with the dessert theme, JP Licks has some of the best homemade ice cream (and yogurt) on the planet. We highly
I recommend the low-fat peanut butter yogurt. JP Licks is located in
Coolidge Corner at Brookline, Jamaica Plain and Newbury Street.
9. Mike’s Pastries: No trip is complete without a stop for Mike’s
famous canoli. They should put Mike on the Freedom Trail that has become so popular. Again, there’s always a late-night queue for dessert, but it moves fast and it’s well worth it. Mike’s is the perfect ending after you’ve filled up in the North End.
10. Davios: high-end Italian-American food. The menu is very
diverse, and we highly recommend their steak or seafood. Located on Arlington Ave.
