Brunch is an institution in Boston restaurants, so treat yourself to pancakes and coffee
at a sidewalk cafe in chic Newbury Street. Get a taste of Italy with no-fuss
lunches in family-run, family-friendly restaurants in Boston's North End
district. Don't miss out on Boston specialities like clam chowder or cream pie
from one of the smart restaurants that crowd the historic streets of Beacon
Hill.
Boston restaurant districts
Head to North End where an extensive Italian population makes it the dream
Boston destination for storefront pasta restaurants and Old Country coffee shops and
bars. For more upscale Boston dining, opt for Beacon Hill or Back Bay
where grand old buildings house smart European-style restaurants. Make the trip to
nearby Cambridge for authentic Japanese restaurants and popular
student-filled bars. Join the hip locals in the bohemian South End
area's eateries
Boston restaurant tips
Many Boston restaurants pride themselves on fresh locally caught seafood, and autumn
is the best time for clams and crabs just off the boat. Brunch is big business in
Boston restaurants, so expect queues at popular weekend spots, especially if you
arrive after 11am. Boston's not big on all-night bars. Everything closes by
2am, so the hotel bars in Downtown are your best bet for a nightcap.
Boston bars
Sip a local lager with your lunch at bar-restaurants in Beacon Hill, as
America's best beers allegedly come from the city. You're sure to
find what you want in Boston - rub shoulders with sharp-suited cocktail-drinkers in
the chichi bars of Boston's Financial District or hop across the
bridge to the friendly and crowded pubs and bars near Harvard University.
