Things to do in Boston, Massachusetts (MA): The Best Food & Drink

February 14, 2022 Tynisha Seiler

Walk the Freedom Trail the first time you visit Boston and you'll quickly get a sense of this coastal city's revolutionary spirit and history. But make sure you also explore some of Boston's fine museums (try the Isabella Stewart Gardner, featuring masterpieces displayed in their collector's mansion) and old neighborhoods (like the North End, Boston's Little Italy). You can't claim to have experienced real Boston culture, though, until you've watched a Red Sox game from the bleachers.

Reviewed By Journey36054868789

I came here this past weekend (Saturday November 16th 2019), a few days before my birthday. I wanted to show some friends out of town a distillery tour that was something I enjoyed (cocktails and spirits), and so, to do that and support local business, Bully Boy was fun, more intimate, and we got to try some delicious product.
