Boston in June
We recently scored tickets to the Boston taping of Antiques Roadshow, and decided to make a little vacation out of it. We really enjoyed Boston: what a great city!
I’m not a writer, but I’ve listed some of the highlights and am happy to answer any questions.
Hotel:
Harborside Inn, 185 State Street. We really liked this hotel: the location was convenient, and it was attractive and comfortable.
Restaurants we enjoyed:
Island Creek Oyster Bar
Nico
B&G Oysters
Trattoria di Monica (Prince St.)
Neptune Oyster
2 breakfast’s we especially enjoyed were at Maria’s Pastry Shop in the North End, and Anthem at Quincy Market.
Things we enjoyed:
Red Sox game at Fenway
North End Market Walking Tour
Isabella Gardner museum
Sam Adams brewery tour

Hmmm, Neptune and Island Creek are so different I’d have a hard time calling one “better.” Great food at both! Island Creek had a bigger menu, and the service was really friendly. Neptune is TINY, but loved the old-fashioned French bistro look of the place.
B&G was good, but a step below the other 2 food-wise. We did really enjoy eating on the back patio here.

Yes, both restaurants had more than oysters. Their online menus were up to date. Can especially recommend the clam chowder at Island Creek.
