The city's benchmark lobster roll — order it hot with butter — in a 42-seat room. No reservations, so put your name in and walk Hanover Street.
Same corner room since 1926, and the only location that counts. The line moves fast and the crust is why.
America's oldest continuously operating restaurant, serving since 1826. Sit at the ground-floor oyster bar where Daniel Webster drank his brandy.
A 1903 bakery that became a pizza institution near the airport. Order the barbecue lamb skewers alongside the pie.
Live jazz seven nights a week since 1947, no cover, cash only. The Berklee students on stage are frequently the best players in the room.
One of the oldest taverns in the country, with the low ceilings to prove it. Paul Revere drank here; you can eat chowder after Bunker Hill.
Boston's cult IPA brewery, two floors plus a rooftop. The hazies and fruited sours never taste fresher than they do here.
That string-tied box everyone carries down Hanover Street. Locals swear Modern Pastry up the block is better — settle it yourself.
One of the deepest collections in the country. The Art of the Americas wing alone is worth the afternoon.
A Venetian palace built around a courtyard, hung exactly as Gardner left it — including the empty frames from the 1990 heist.
Cantilevered out over the harbor. The glass-walled Founders Gallery view competes with the art.
Three collections under one Renzo Piano glass roof, with the conservation lab visible through the top-floor glass.
The country's first public botanical garden. Pedal-powered Swan Boats run the lagoon from spring through summer.
Three miles of river path with sailboats and skyline. The Hatch Shell puts on free concerts all summer.
281 Olmsted-designed acres run by Harvard, free every day. Lilac Sunday in May is a real city holiday.
Walk the Sugar Bowl loop around Fort Independence with jets coming in low over the water. Sullivan's is right there for a hot dog.
A mile and a half of parks where the elevated expressway used to run — fountains, food trucks, and a hand-carved carousel.
The oldest park in the majors, Green Monster and all. Catch a Sox game, or take the ballpark tour on an off day.
A red line in the sidewalk connects 16 Revolution-era sites over 2.5 miles. Start on the Common and walk it to Charlestown.
Walk into the McKim building for Bates Hall's green lamps and the Italianate courtyard. Free, and quieter than any museum.
Old Ironsides is still a commissioned Navy ship, and active-duty sailors give the tour. Free — bring a photo ID.
294 granite steps, no elevator, and the whole harbor laid out at the top. The climb is the point.
A four-story Caribbean reef tank you spiral down around. The harbor seals out front are free to watch.
The original brewhouse, now the research shop. The taproom pours experiments that never reach a store shelf.
The most photographed cobblestones in America. Go early, remember people actually live there, then wander down Charles Street.
