Boston is one of the most beautiful cities in the United States and is one of my top favorite places in the world. From the food, to the bars, to the beautiful scenery, here is a guide for the next time you go to Boston.  Boston was also rated one of the coolest cities in the world by The Huffington Post. A lot of these places are accessible using public transportation – either via the subway or with a bus connection.

Boston Bars and Nightlife

Drink

This bar is located in Fort Point, and in most people’s opinions, is one of the best cocktail places on the Eastern Seaboard. It made one of Esquire’s lists, along with the Pegu Club in SoHo, NYC. The training process for the bartenders is long and they specialize in pre-prohibition era cocktails. It’s the type of place where you just tell the bartender some flavors that you like and they make something just for you, typically a deep cut from their extensive library of classic cocktails.

Back Bar

This bar is a similar situation with the drinks, but smaller, and hidden within Somerville’s Union Square! It’s a cozy place with late night food and are famous for their ramen as well as pork and eggplant buns. They also have an awesome boutique ice cream maker you don’t want to miss out on!


Where to Eat in Boston

Mr. Bartley’s Gourmet Burgers

The Lady Gaga, the iPhone and the Democrat, are just a few of the names of the delicious burgers at this famous restaurant. This place is a definite must go when visiting Boston. They have an infinite list of burger concoctions and even have gluten free buns. They are famous for their onion rings so make sure to try those as well!

Penny Packer’s Fine Foods

This place started out as a couple of food trucks (which is still a new thing in Boston) serving up freshly prepared foods, with a constantly changing menu. They recently upgraded to a store front in Magoun Square, Somerville. The only thing that is constant on their menu is the porchetta sandwich, which is one of the most incredible things you will ever eat. The rest of it changes daily based on the season as well as the creative whims of the chefs.

Pauli’s

lobster-roll-with-chips

via eatandsipinthecity.com

A great joint to get lobster rolls- a MUST DO in Boston. Located along the Freedom Trail, in the North End, this place is a good alternative to the pricier sit down spots such as Neptune. They have counter service, and is therefore cheaper than the others, yet the lobster is just as good if not better. They have very generous portions.

Redbones

If you’re looking for some awesome BBQ in a fun setting, then this is the place to go. Located in Somerville in Davis Square, this spot has two floors with three different rooms: a bar, an upstairs dining room, and a downstairs dining room/bar combo featuring a lounge feel (dimmed lights, colorful art). You definitely get what you pay for. Another plus: They have a huge beer selection.

Mike’s Pastry

All current tapped varieties of Sam Adams on tap, including the locally famous Brick Red, which you can only get in Boston on tap.

Harpoon

Larger brewery facility located in the fort point/south Boston area (double check on a map to see where they draw the line). The tickets are $5, but the tasting is much more extensive, consisting of 20 minutes in the tasting room where they have every one of their brews on tap. They basically start the timer and encourage you to have as much as possible. They also have a very large restaurant area made up of picnic benches running through a very large room, serving only large pretzels freshly baked, with your choice of sauces.

Alaskan Brown Grizzly Bear in Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge

Kodiak, Alaska

Zebras in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Serengeti, Tanzania
Heading over to the continent of Africa, Tanzania has every animal you’ve ever loved at the zoo. It’s home to what safari tour guides affectionately call “the big five”: lions, leopards, rhinoceros, elephants, and cape buffalo. If those amazing animals don’t make you swoon, you can also witness wildebeest migrations, hippos playing in the mud, zebras frolicking, and giraffes stretching to reach the heights of the tallest trees!


Sea Lions on the beaches of Galapagos Islands

Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
If you’re looking for unique wildlife, you won’t find a better place to spy on new animals than in the Galapagos Islands. These islands are one of the top 10 wildlife destinations in the world but also notoriously difficult to get to, so make sure you pre-book well in advance if thinking about taking a trip there! Thanks to the isolation from the rest of the world, the wildlife here has thrived. Truly spectacular creatures have evolved here over time like the giant tortoises, iguanas, and the islands’ bevy of colorful birds.

Stay the night before you fly by booking with ParkSleepFly this year. Don’t let exploring the Galapagos get out of your reach!


Squirrel Monkey sitting in a jungle canopy in the Amazon 

The Amazon (throughout South America)
The lush jungles of the Amazon make an ideal home for a plethora of fascinating (and sometimes downright terrifying) animals. Spot brightly colored birds in trees, get up close and personal with a sloth or a monkey, and beware the brilliant poison dart frogs. You’ll also hope that the only anaconda sighting you experience is one of its shed skins!


A roseate spoonbill in the Florida everglades

The Everglades, Florida
These marshy areas off Florida’s coasts are teeming with nature. You’ll see birds of every shape, color, and size as well as turtles and tortoises. But, if you’re really lucky, you’ll get to see alligators and crocodiles mingling peacefully, or maybe even spot an elusive mountain lion.

Pre-booking your airport travel extras has never been easier than with ParkSleepFly. Explore the Everglades with ease knowing your car is parked safely in an airport lot space.


a mother ring-tailed Lemur carrying twin babies in Berenty Reserve, Madagascar

Madagascar
Like Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands, Madagascar has very diverse and unique native species. From the humpback whales seen along the shores to the wide variety of primates (including 10 species of lemur), you’re sure to get your fill of animals in this wildlife wonderland.


Polar bear mother with two cubs, Wapusk National Park, Manitoba, Canada

Manitoba, Canada
Manitoba is a special place; not only can you watch beluga whales but you can even snorkel among them! If you prefer to stay dry, though, you can spend your time bird-watching over 250 bird species or you can take a tour to see the king of the ice himself: the magnificent polar bear.
