Boston’s Bars North End

Some of the things travelers love to do when finding a new place to go and see is experiencing the city and culture through it’s food and drinks, here in Boston we have plenty of amazing bars to experience the night life and the taste of Boston. Personally the north end of Boston is home to some of my favorite restaurants and bars because of the delicious food and drinks and atmosphere.

Here is a list of some I like and enjoy and are a great taste of the city. To start off a great bar where you can grab a great burger with your beer is Ward 8.  Known for good seafood and a great atmosphere with awesome employees. Another good place to stop to grab a drink and some food in Boston’s North end is the Boston Sail Loft, they have great calamari all around good food and seafood and has great prices for all the food and good variety of beers as well. Lastly, one of my favorites is Durty Nelly’s, a great pub with awesome prices in a great location with an insane variety of beers and also has great bar food. There’s plenty of places to go in every city these are just some of my favorites, that pertain to my tastes and interests this may not be true to you, though if you are a lover of bar food and seafood and love an uptempo atmosphere I think you will enjoy these recommendations just fine.

Boston Parks

Boston has some amazing parks, great for spending a Sunday or having a picnic. Not only does the city have plenty of great unique parks, but they all have different things to offer in different parts of the city. I will start by talking about some smaller well known parks, as I will not be mentioning every single park in Boston some of the favorites and more well known to my knowledge.  The first park I’d like to make note of is the Paul Revere Park, which has a nice grass and walking area and great views of the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge.

The Franklin Square is another notable park, known for its trees, open grass area, walking and benches and a fountain. The Boston Public garden is another great spot for both the winter and the summer. This is a great park for a picnic with a lovely garden and statues featuring a pond as well. In the winter people even skate on the pond making it a fun activity in the winter too with some hot cocoa you can buy nearby. Lastly, and probably the most well known and also my favorite Boston Commons. Boston common is another cool one like the last because you can spend a good day there in both the winter,fall,spring, and summer and have a good time. Being right by Beacon Hill and the North and West end not far by there’s plenty to do near this park.  There’s plenty statues rich of Boston history and space to walk around this park it is also one of the larger parks. Not only that but there is grass to throw a frisbee or have a picnic. In the winter there’s a pond and they have a rink there as well and people skate. There’s always hot cocoa close by because of the cool winter air but that doesn’t stop people from getting out there.

These are some of my favorite and more notable parks in Boston, though there are more those are the ones I enjoy when in Boston. There is always plenty to do at them and nearby all of those ones as well.

Safety when in Boston

Boston is a large, safe, beautiful city with lots to offer. Having that said like most cities it’s size there should be some precautions taken to avoid trouble when staying and travelling here.

This is a city where you would take normal safety precautions, a city where most crime is drug related and occurring between two familiar individuals or in crime-ridden neighborhoods. Public transportation is safe, again just practice basic safety precautions like watch out for thieves.

Boston is also safe at night, I’ve personally been to foreign countries and felt unsafe in certain areas here in Boston you will not get that. Anyplace in Boston where you would be worried of risk of your safety would be an area or neighborhood you have no business being. In Boston everything is quite simple most of the touristy areas and populated areas with business and attractions are in one general vicinity.

Overall Boston is a very safe city and you should feel safe and comfortable to enjoy yourself when here just always remember basic safety precautions and you will have an amazing trip in this beautiful coastal city.
