We are officially in the dog days of summer. Here are 5 things to keep you busy in Boston. Read on for 5 things to do in Boston right now!
1) 5 Things to Do in Boston: Buy a copy of Boston Food Crawls!
My book is officially on shelves, so be sure to pick up your copy today. Available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble as well as dozens of other retailers, the book makes a great gift for the foodie in your life. Boston Food Crawls is an exciting culinary tour through this historic yet modern city.
Tap into the unique vibes and flavors of neighborhood restaurants and bars. Hit the Theater District for dinner and a show. Just in town for the weekend? Take the classy but sassy crawl through the Back Bay. Lifelong Bostonians will love the Classic Chowder Crawl (did your favorite make the list?), and everyone will find something new on the bonus rooftop crawl. Put on your walking shoes and your stretchy pants, and dig into the Hub one dish at a time.
2) Treat yourself to a cocktail at the Ritz Carlton Boston
Any trip to the Ritz is a treat, so why not cool off after a hot August day with a tasty cocktail at Avery Bar. With a deliciously seasonal cocktail menu, Avery Bar is always a good choice! And afterwards, head to Artisan Bistro for a fun, relaxed, dinner, with even more seasonal favorites available.
3) 5 Things to Do in Boston: Take a walk through the Common
Boston Common is one of the most beautiful parks in America and during the summer the grass is green, the sun is shining and a stroll through the Common couldn’t be more perfect! And why not throw on a perfect sundress like this one from Jones New York to enjoy the weather!
4) Have a pool day
One of my favorite hangouts this summer has been the Roof Top Pool at the Colonnade Hotel. Located right across from the Pru, the RTP as they call, it is a convenient urban oasis. With tasty drinks and bites available, as well as the fantastic pool itself, a day at the RTP is a day well spent!
5) 5 Things to Do in Boston: Dine alfresco
I am a huge fan of dining alfresco. And the Intercontinental has some of the best alfresco eating and drinking options downtown. With Five-10 being one of the hottest after work spots and Miel Brasserie serving up a tasty selection of French inspired favorites, the pair make for the perfect date night.
So grab your special someone and treat them to drinks at Five-10 and a delicious meal on the terrace overlooking the Fort Point channel this weekend!
