Seafood with a view |
140 Northern Avenue Boston, MA 02210 United States +1 617 482 6262 http://www.pier4.com/anthonys.cfm pier4@pier4.com |
The interior of this restaurant is as dated as the photos of proprietor Anthony Athanas with celebrities like Bob Hope and Dom DeLouise that hang on the walls. But there is no better place in Boston to enjoy fresh seafood in the summertime than on Anthony's patio, which has a view of Boston's inner harbor and skyline. If you like shellfish, order the clambake special, which gives you shrimp, steamed clams, mussels and lobster. This restaurant also prides itself on its steaks and wine list. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Key West meets Boston at this tent-style restaurant perched over the Fort Point Channel. Boaters cruising Boston Harbor can dock out back; land lovers use the front entrance.

 Historic elegance |
Between Beacon Street and Cambridge Street Boston, MA 02114 United States +1 617 523 9490 http://www.beaconhillonline.com/ |
Steeped in history, this is one of Boston's most beautiful neighborhoods. Always the home of statesmen, artists and intellectuals, "The Hill" is also the site of the State House, which is the beginning of the Freedom Trail. Cafes and majestic brownstone buildings line the narrow cobblestone streets next to the Boston Common, America's oldest urban park. At the bottom of the hill, along Charles Street, are several antique shops and boutiques full of unusual merchandise. This charming neighborhood has managed to preserve its history without becoming artificially quaint. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 An Irish pub |
160 State Street Boston, MA 02109 United States +1 617 742 2286 http://www.irishconnection.com... info@irishconnection.com |
A Faneuil Hall landmark, this popular hangout draws tourists and locals alike into a jovial drinking atmosphere. The bartenders here know how to pour a pint of Guinness, and most will have a brogue, too. Dark walls and smoky air give an Irish pub feel. Two floors have long tables for large groups and stages for live entertainment. The noise level inside does get rather loud, especially on weekends when local bands perform. The kitchen serves burgers and sandwiches, although most patrons come for the drinks and music. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Party atmosphere, superb margaritas |
32 Church Street Boston, MA 02138 United States +1 617 864 6100 http://www.bordercafe.com/camb... |
This restaurant may not offer the best Mexican food in town, but the Harvard Square hangout may serve the best margaritas. Maybe that is why patrons do not seem to mind the waits that are often well over an hour on weekends. A party atmosphere rules here; many of the diners are college students and exuberant tourists. Portions are giant and cheap. Favorites include zesty, fizzling fajitas and popcorn shrimp. This is a good choice for a large party. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Since 1929, this cafe has been serving espresso and gelati to the Italian community of the North End. On weekends, a lively post-dinner crowd keeps the place humming until late at night. Chrome dominates the four levels with three bars, numerous parlor tables and shiny bakery cases. The enticements include tiramisu, connoli and biscotti. The bars serve a fine cappuccino with Sambuca.

Dine like Bogart and Bergman at this Mediterranean-style restaurant and bar. Wall murals depict classic scenes from Casablanca. This is the most popular area restaurant for group dining; parties of all sizes are welcome. Start with goat cheese bundles or shrimp and squid confit and then, for dinner, opt for the stuffed artichoke salad or the bluefish bourride. If the stomach allows order the poached pears with wild huckleberries for dessert. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Wood floors, brass railings and a friendly bar scene characterize this saloon-style eatery where burgers, steaks, pastas and salads are menu mainstays.

 Dining in the heart of Chinatown |
83 Essex Street Boston, MA 02111-2110 United States +1 617 338 8158 |
This clean, multi-level eatery is in the heart of Chinatown. Inside, a casual atmosphere has plenty of glass, neon and aquaria to capture your attention. The food here is both well-prepared and served quickly. The long menu offers many familiar options, but you have to ask about specials to sample the specialties of the house. As the fish tanks indicate, seafood is this restaurant's strength, including shrimp, clams, lobster and eel. The restaurant has a full service bar. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This sleek bistro, with a full service bar, sets the mood with low lighting that casts a romantic feel.

This luxurious addition to the Eliot Hotel is one of the most popular restaurants in Boston.

Dimly lit with small booths and a laid-back wait staff, this quaint South End bar and eatery can get crowded quickly. It may not look like much from the outside, but it is the inside that counts. All types come here looking for an inexpensive drink or supper. Quality pizzas and daily specials are satisfying and made promptly.

This landmark, located in Faneuil Hall Marketplace, is the place to go for traditional New England fare. Pot roast, prime rib and Indian pudding (a delicious concoction made from molasses and cornmeal and topped with a dollop of vanilla ice cream) are favorites. The staff can be a bit surly, but that is part of the charm. Dining is family-style, so grab a spot at one of the long picnic tables and prepare for a feast. For a Boston treat, add a side of baked beans, and leave room for apple pie. The restuarant features two full service bars. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The main attraction at this classy Chinatown eatery is watching fish being pulled from the dining room tanks and taken to the kitchen for preparation. Fish is pan-fried or served raw. Choices include shrimp sashimi, soft-shell crab, chow foon, steamed fish, mussels and a variety of soups. There are many poultry and meat dishes on the menu as well.

There are more than 100 places to eat, shop and drink at this historic site. French merchant Peter Faneuil (pronounced FAN-you-wull) gave the hall that precedes the marketplace to his adopted home of Boston in 1742. It has been called the "Cradle of Liberty" because of the number of revolutionaries and abolitionists who delivered important speeches here. The hall is now a tourist center, but public meeting facilities are still available. Review © 2007, Wcities |
