A great place to go for lunch as a tourist in Boston! So much choice of food. Enjoyed some American Mac and Cheese! The small portion is ginormous . So delicious! Will definitely return when next in Boston. Public toilets available here too!

It's very close to downtown Boston. There are many vendors selling foods, snacks, souvenirs and also many shops with a good collection of apparel. I like the place because it's very walkable and there are artists and also street performances like you can enjoy. You can walk in the building of the market. There are three separate buildings. Each of them features different set of merchandise goods. There are children's play area inside and outside the building. Pets are welcomed.

This was on all of the Google searches for being a must see in Boston. There were so many food vendors and the building was historic and beautiful. There were areas to eat although it was pretty crowded. It was fun to look at all the different types of food available.

Great place to eat if in Boston. Many different options for food in an historic location. Only downside is that it can get VERY crowded during peak eating times and seating is limited to the center court or maybe outside. Lines for ordering can get confusing. Food we had was delicious. If coming to Boston, you have to try clam chowder at least once. Bathrooms are limited and small, and look like they haven’t been updated in at least 50 years, if not 100. That considered, they were still fairly clean. Parking is almost non-existent; I’d recommend an Uber/Lift to get there. Save yourself the headache of finding a spot. Parking garages may be in the area but cost $20+. I would go again if in the area.

Amazing place to visit when in Boston. This was the staple of our trip, so much to see a s do. Very close, walking distance to many stops on the FREEDOM TRAIL. must stop!

Very eccentric and diverse group of shops and restaurants. There’s literally something for everyone and there are so many nooks and crannies you could spend a full day exploring them all. It’s a touristy area, so expect lots of people. Also, the walkways are brick and uneven, so watch where you’re stepping!

Such a cool spot. We went having no expectations, and were amazed. Almost sensory overload with how much there is to do and see. There was also a really nice farmer's market next door with fresh produce.

Awesome and educating experience, we bought our tickets in advance. We had no problem being greeted by our fair old time characters at check in and were ushered into a great reenactment. Without giving too much away, you will enjoy yourself! Even those who aren’t big into history. You will get to learn about the Boston tea harbor and so much more, you’ll learn about the people involved and why it’s important to remember history. Awesome people who work here who really embrace the characters and explain anything you have a question to. You do also get to throw tea into the harbor! They have a really cute gift shop with tons of souvenirs and they have a variety of little snacks and drinks. We recommend the cookies!

Celebrate one of the milestones of the American Revolution with a visit to the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum. Boston is drenched in colonial tourism, and this attraction was tons of fun. The costumes are all very well made. The staff is so friendly and courteous. The actors embody their characters and put on a great immersive show. You get to see a reenactment of the colonial conspirators and if you’re lucky and brave enough, you’ll get a line or two to speak during the proceedings. Explore the belly of the ships that brought tea to Boston and toss a ceremonial crate of tea over the edge for a great photo op. This is one of those places where you get to learn by accident. You’ll be so immersed and enthralled by what is going on around you that you’ll be pleasantly surprised that you were learning at the same time. There are a few replicas from the early years of the U.S.A. as well as portraits, paintings, and entire rooms that bring you back 250 years. Kids and adults will thoroughly enjoy their time at the ships and museum. Parking isn’t terrible, but definitely plan some time to find a good spot or parking garage. The streets and traffic flow around the museum take some patience. The museum gets a big recommendation as a must-visit.

It was special to know the story through acting and also including the visitors into the characters. It was impressing to walk step by step from the beginning of the incident, to the ship and pour out the tea, and saw the exhibits and documentary to feel emotionally. It was worthwhile to not only experience the history, but also absorb how the past has brought to the present. Sending pics to staffs who act professionally! Thank you very much!

A Phenomenal Trip Back in Time: History Made Real! If you are looking for an immersive historical experience in Boston, visiting the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum is an absolute must-do, especially with family. What truly elevates this attraction above a typical museum visit is the fantastically talented cast of historical interpreters. From the moment we stepped aboard, we were completely transported back to 1773. The performers didn't just read lines; they embodied the colonists, infusing the drama leading up to the act of rebellion with passion, energy, and wit. The experience felt authentic, lively, and truly immersive. They seamlessly guided us through the process—from the initial town meeting to finally tossing the tea overboard—making us feel like active participants in a pivotal moment of history.

What an amazing experience, from start to finish! Engaging, fun and a lot of learning! The actors/ characters really made the entire experience fun! Great job! Great for all ages, even my teen who doesn’t care for history enjoyed it. We will do it again when we return to Boston! Highly recommend!

This was a fantastic experience! They do a little reinacring before you tour the ship which was so much fun! The staff is great, friendly, and do a wonderful job to make it feel like you've stepped back in time. The whole experience took about 2 hours, and was educational and fun. A must see!

It was excellent! It wasn’t just a simple tour of the Boston Tea Party — we were able to directly experience it. The detailed reenactment of the events and the explanations of the major historical moments that followed were very helpful. After the tour, we can enjoy a cup of tea, and I highly recommend doing so. While drinking tea, we also got to try some light board games that people enjoyed back in those days. It was a really enjoyable and immersive experience.

A great aquarium! Clean and organized. I enjoyed that the exhibits we're put around the center tank so when you're walking around the tank you go up or down while seeing the other tanks. Easy for kids to navigate and see into each tank/exhibit. Afterwards you can still go out and explore Boston within walking distance.

This place is amazing! Took an Uber from a cruise port as its less than 10 minutes away. Spent a good 2 hours walking through the 4 floors of exhibits ranging from seals, stingrays, clown fish, sharks, turtles, jelly fish and an anaconda. Extremely clean. We are from out of town but brought an annual membership. Well worth it even if you go just once. Trying to go again soon!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Magical Day at the New England Aquarium! I absolutely loved my visit to the Boston Aquarium! From the moment I walked in, I was surrounded by incredible marine life and beautifully designed exhibits that made me feel like I was stepping into an underwater world. The highlight of my day was definitely the sea turtle — such a magnificent and graceful creature. Watching it glide effortlessly through the water was truly mesmerizing and peaceful. Another favorite was the seahorse exhibit. I could have stood there for hours watching those delicate, whimsical creatures sway and twist around the coral. They’re so tiny, yet so full of personality! The entire aquarium is thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to explore while learning so much about ocean conservation and the importance of protecting marine habitats. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the animals they care for. I also appreciated how clean and well-maintained everything was, from the tanks to the viewing areas. Whether you’re visiting Boston for the first time or you’re a local looking for something special, the New England Aquarium is a must-see destination. I can’t wait to go back again soon!

So I will preface this review by saying I have been to over a hundred zoos and awuariums over the last 6 years. This aquarium is pretty decent. A good variety of different fish, and overall they do have as good a layout as they can with the space they have. Pros: Variety Bright colored exhibits Good signage about animals Cons: Price for size Very tight space inside Bad signage on where to go next Again, I liked this aquarium, but for $40+ bucks I would like to have not been shoulder to shoulder with everyone else there. I also feel like the "Sharks" exhibit is a joke, and some of the exhibits talk big, but then fail to deliver.

My fiance and I LOVED the New England Aquarium!! No kids yet, but cannot wait to bring the little one here soon! Such an amazing layout and awesome exhibits. The stingrays are so cute and friendly, the penguins, seals, and sea lions were sooooo much fun to sit and watch. It was a little crowded but not too bad for a saturday! We will definitely be back!!

Oh my god - can’t rave enough. Having never seen the Penguins, this place lived upto my expectations. It was the most beautiful day in boston with penguin, seals, fishes, and other unique underwater life exhibit witnessing. I totally loved it and would recommend it to anyone and everyone. So proud that they keep these animals and are equally aware and preach animal welfare in kind too :)

Overall a good a experience. Definitely on the smaller end of aquariums I've been too. Kid friendly. Personally I do believe they should not have anything bigger than fish at this aquarium because it's so small, however there are seals and penguins at this location which is slightly disheartening because of how small their enclosures are at this facility.

It was a rainy weekend in Boston and we’re looking for indoor activities and the old state house was on top of our list. It is a true gem nestled in the heart of Boston’s historic downtown. Stepping inside feels like walking through a living timeline—every room echoes with the events that shaped America. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, blending artifacts, interactive elements, and detailed storytelling to bring the revolutionary era to life. Whether you’re a history buff or a curious traveler, this site is well worth the visit. Give yourself at least an hour or two to fully appreciate everything. Highly recommended!

We visited on a Wednesday morning in mid-June 2025. We were doing this as part of the Freedom Trail. They did not open until 10AM. This is a paid site but has a combo ticket with the Old South Meeting House as well. We were trying to complete the entire trail in the better part of a day so we didn't have much time to visit each and every site. We decided to pass on this particular one but we did walk into their gift shop area. This is where they have their National Park Service Passport Cancellation stamp. You do not have to pay to get the stamp. The store at least was a pretty good size and had tons of merch. Hopefully one day we'll come back and be able to actually explore the inside here. There is a sign with stantions and a small gate that said Tickets Required to enter the museum. Just outside the front here is the Boston Massacre Site.

Super amazingI didn't make it there by 52 go inside.But still pretty cool to be in a place of so much history.And a unique location, all part of the freedom trail.I highly recommend if you're in boston.Make the walkIt's worth every mile

The history in and around this building is amazing. We loved learning more about our history and being able to stand in the building and surrounding areas where things actually took place was impressive.

I was in a rush, and on my way out, I asked an expert to tell me the History. I asked him if he could explain it in record time. This man blew my co-worker and me away with his sheer knowledge, animation, and fantastic storytelling skills. He would speak of the stories and point to a photo, then casually walk over to another image and ask if we noticed something. He was so engaging. He had us all hooked on every word. He needs a raise and promotion. I want to have someone who is well-versed and makes it worth going to a museum. He brought that museum and old History to life. To have someone there to answer every question and get the answer to life, I almost felt I was there. I want to remember his name, but I can't. He was a tall fella and, I believe, salt and pepper hair. This message is for the manager. You have made an excellent choice in having him represent this amazing Old State House. I won't lie. The Old State House goes from a $13 entrance fee to a $1000 value because of this fantastic, well-versed history buff man. I noticed there is not much to see in Boston compared to NY, where I am from. Still, I will recommend this Old State House because of this professional who studied and interpreted the past with such specificity detailing time periods or regions. IF ANY of you remember his name, comment on it.

Iconic & Historical building in the heart of Boston! We loved this building, it is very 'grand' and shown really well how it must have been a few centuries back. As we we are coming from Europe we were doing the Freedom Tour trail and this is like stop number 9, but probably one of our favorite buildings. Sadly we did not have the time to go inside this time but maybe next time we are in Boston we will definitely do it. Highly recommended!

So much history. If in the Boston area I highly recommend checking out the Old State House

Waiting: 0min at lunch First dish: 7min The restaurant is called Flatbread, but don’t get it confused—it’s actually a flat noodle house, not a pizza spot. Prices are fantastic, with the basic noodle dishes starting under $9 and offering generous portions. I tried the Hot & Sour Hand-Pulled Noodle Soup, and it didn’t disappoint. The portion was solid, with plenty of flavorful marinated tender pork. The noodles themselves were thick, wide, and had an almost gummy chewiness that kept me hooked with every bite. The broth could use a bit more punch—maybe more saltiness and garlic for depth—but overall, it was still very enjoyable, especially at this price point. It’s set up more like an express-style restaurant, but you can still dine in comfortably. I can definitely see myself coming back here when the weather gets cold!

Food has fallen off a bit from the last. Noodle and lamb dish was really delicious. Noodles still great, but the sandwhich was really weak. Used to be one of the best bites in the city now it's just really solid. Will keep going back though.

$9 for small portion for hand pulled noodles. …. Lamb is add on is $2 extra. . The spicy powder with sourness is major turn off. It is not balanced. . Even though the hand pulled itself is descent they would put some effort of the contiments and sauce. Ain’t visiting this place again ever !!

Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed by Gene’s Flatbread. I was super excited by the photos and reviews on Google but this place felt completely misleading… first when we arrived. The service was very standoffish. Next, we ordered the spicy hand pulled noodles. The flavor profile is completely off, and there was barely any chili paste. It was almost all oil, and then the beef was not very well seasoned at all, and the noodles were soggy and cooked poorly. The dough tasted stale, and it didn’t really even taste like fresh hand pulled noodles at all.:( the veggies were undercooked and bunched up. The ratio is definitely off, and the noodles were huge, and they were really hard to cut, and they were not bouncing at all, and they were so much of meat which was great, but then I felt very overpowering because we thought that the noodles were the highlight of the show! We also ordered the lamb flatbread, but that was very, very dry and pretty unflavorful. Overall, we would not come back and were very disappointed by our experience.

The name suggest this place is“authentic” when in reality it’s so far from even being called Chinese. Everything about the dish was just the cheapest replacement you can use. The meat was not suppose to be this shredded, irregular sized, dry. The noodle is 100% store bought and not even the good kind. Please don’t think this place is serving Chinese food. Will never come again and definitely not recommend anyone else to come. Everything single chair wobbles, seating is cramped while there’s so much space being blocked off. 不知道哪来的脸叫“老西安”

This location really does not compare to the original Gene’s in Woburn. If you want a true Gene’s experience, visit the Woburn location. Yellow scallions leads me to think the ingredients weren’t fresh, noodles were inconsistent thicknesses and uncooked/overcooked, dish was very oily where that has never been my experience in Woburn. Lamb skewers seemed to be steamed, not cooked over charcoal or flame.

House noodle was so delicious! We got no spice but still definitely had spice!! But it was delicious. Highly recommend.

A place to immerse yourself in the nature to find your true self. Boston Commons is the place which let you have the thrills of Military 🪖🎖️ artillery showcases, thousands of flags for memorial Day celebration, Japanese cultural festival, Boston Pride Day celebration and more and the chirping of birds, sprints of squirrels and quacks of the 🦆 all at once. To me this place has been my go-to destination every weekend to channelize my emotions and get back with more energy. Kudos to everyone making this place magical.

This is such a beautiful and special spot in the city! No matter the season, it’s always such a nice place to walk around, sit with a coffee, people watch, or just take in the scenery. It’s got so much history, but it also feels very alive and welcoming. I love how it’s right in the middle of everything, you can wander through and end up in so many different parts of Boston!

It's is a big park with a very popular arm crossing sculpture at one end of the park. There is also a welcome center where you can find a lot of merchandise. And also there are restaurants fast food around the park. In the park you can see many people sitting there with their children and a lot of people. They are many people listening to the guides introduction of the history of Boston. There are a lot of ducks and squirrels. The squirrels here are not afraid of people. If you have food they will just approach you. This is surprising to me because I see a lot of other places whereas borrows won't just run away when people walk by. And many pigeons are in the park. Maybe because of the weather of Boston you can see red leaves. They're beautiful and a little pond in the center of the park. There is no parking so you better walk there but the transportation is very convenient.

This would be a top park if it wasn’t so full of literal garbage. I know the city clearly has a problem with trash pick up but this park is another example of an otherwise beautiful place to visit scarred by trash. It is a nice place to go since the entire city is full of trash in the streets so no matter where you go you’ll be dodging questionable things in the streets so at least walk through a nice park while your doing it.

Absolutely beautiful park! Every time I've visited there is some kind of event going on. People relaxing, walking their dogs, people gathered at the visitor center ready to go on a Freedom Trail walking tour... A wonderful park surrounded by so much history and every day life alike. Check it out if you're ever in Boston. 🙂

I have visited Boston Common multiple times, and I always love coming back. The peaceful atmosphere and beautiful greenery make it a perfect place to relax. The small pond with geese is delightful to watch, and there are plenty of walking trails throughout the park. It is also a great spot for a picnic, especially in the evenings. During the summer, Boston Common hosts Shakespeare in the Park, which is always amazing to watch. The park is conveniently located near AMC and Red and Green Line train stations, making it easily accessible by public transport. Additionally, it is the starting point of the Freedom Trail, which is perfect for exploring more of Boston.

🌳 Boston Common & Public Garden is truly the heart of the city and one of the most beautiful spots in Boston. It perfectly combines a sense of history with the calmness of nature. 🌸 The gardens are well-kept, with lovely walking paths, the iconic Swan Boats on the pond, and wide green lawns perfect for a picnic or just relaxing. 🏞 The atmosphere is cozy and vibrant at the same time — you can stroll for hours, enjoy the views, listen to street performers, and feel the city’s rhythm. For me, this is an absolute must-visit in Boston ✨ Come during the day or in the evening — the park feels magical in both.

We visited on a Wednesday morning in mid-June 2025. We were doing this as part of the Freedom Trail. The site is right outside the Old State House. It's marked by a number of special paved stones in the ground. It was pretty busy even for 10:30AM on a Wednesday morning in mid-June on a overcast day. We were able to get a couple photos with minimal people in it but impossible to get one without them. There were people with business suits walking through and people part of large tour groups. It was just a hodge podge of people. Still really cool to stand there and kind of take it all in.

No detailed explanation necessary here. The only thing I would say is that 5 people were killed so probably more of a misfiring than a full on massacre. Regardless, it lid the fire for the revolution.

Following the freedom trail to the Boston massacre site is something I enjoy doing when visiting Boston. I've only entered into the building there one time many years ago I don't remember paying at the time but you do need to pay now I believe. The seal on the ground commemorating the massacre is it good photo opportunity and reminder. This is a quick walk from faneuil Hall and the North end.

In a history nerd and love all things and this was a must do for me. It’s was interesting to learn about.

Meh, if you're downtown it's cool to check out I guess but it's just a brick circle with pretty much no information.

My friend and I booked this tour on August 9 and had an amazing time with our tour guide Madison! She was very knowledgeable about the event and other information about Boston as a whole. Could not recommend her enough!! She also gave very good recommendations for what to see as visitors.

The site was really cool even though it was a couple feet off of where it should have been. It makes sense that they didn't put the memorial right in the middle of the road though. Boston in general was super awesome to see all the history that was there and has happened.

Such a beautiful and peaceful spot! I could have stayed all day, especially with the perfect fall weather. I captured some amazing Boston shots during my mini photoshoot. While there were plenty of people and lots of photo-taking happening, there were also plenty of quiet corners to escape the crowds. Truly loved my time here!

The Boston Public Garden is a must-see! It's a gorgeous escape right in the middle of the city, and a perfect spot to relax and get away from all the noise. The trees are stunning, especially in the fall when the colors are just magical. I love watching the squirrels play and taking a stroll along the paved pathways. The famous Swan Boats on the lagoon are a charming sight, and the park is great for all ages. It's completely free to enter, open from dawn to dusk, and super easy to get to with the Arlington and Boylston T stops nearby. Don't forget to say hi to the "Make Way for Ducklings" statue! It's a beautiful, peaceful place that's perfect for a walk, a date, or just unwinding.

We love this place! It’s serene and peaceful. This time around, we rode on the Swan Boat which was so nice since the last time we were here was in the Fall and the lake was empty. So glad we were able to check it out in the Summer. Be aware if it’s hot outside, the Swan boat is open so you are exposed to the sun and the elements, but you get a nice breeze from the water.

Absolutely stunning! The Public Garden is magical in the fall — the colors are breathtaking. A perfect place to walk, relax, and enjoy nature.

Loved visiting the public garden. It was so beautiful when we visited. Each tree has a history behind it and a plaque attached telling you where it’s originally from. Lots of space and great for families

This public garden is stunning! Right next to Boston Common but wayyyy better in my opinion! There are plenty of comfortable benches in the shade of old growth trees. The pond is lovely and helps keep the whole area cool. I was there on a busy Saturday morning and yet it felt peaceful enough to read and reflect. I would recommend taking time to just sit and embrace the beautiful weather. There is a large pond that you can pay to ride around on a medium sized man powered boat. Also there was a small craft fair that popped up on the sidewalk just outside of the park around 11 a.m., it was fun to walk through and look at the vendors' items.

Boston Public Garden completely will steal your heart. From the moment you stepped in, you will felt like you had entered a peaceful, green sanctuary right in the middle of the city. The landscaping is stunning—vivid flowers in full bloom, lush trees that offer shade and comfort, and carefully maintained pathways that invite you to stroll slowly and soak in the atmosphere. One of my favorite moments was watching the iconic Swan Boats glide gently across the pond. It felt like something out of a storybook. I also loved seeing families, couples, and solo visitors all enjoying the space in their own way—whether reading a book under a tree, having a picnic, or just relaxing on a bench. I took my time wandering through the park, taking photos of the beautiful statues and fountains, especially the George Washington statue. Everything about the garden feels peaceful, thoughtful, and timeless. It’s not just a park—it’s a place that invites you to pause and breathe. If you’re visiting Boston, you absolutely cannot miss this place. It’s a perfect blend of nature, history, and quiet joy. I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I’m in the city. Highly recommended for all ages and interests.

A must-see for anyone who loves libraries, books, and architecture. Beautiful place. Only had time to admire the space, but it's obvious they have a wide collection as well. Really awesome spot that's open to the public and free to visit.

I visited the library on July 3rd eager to experience this place I had heard so much about and also see their many copies of the Declaration of Independence. The library itself is stunning. I could easily have spent an entire day there, but my travel companion was not nearly as interested as I was. It is a bit of a maze to wind your way through. There are famous murals, but tracking them down took several wrong turns and guidance from staff to locate. I cannot get over how magnificent the space was, from the historic architecture and spaces to the more modern sections. I could easily have brought a book to read outside to the Courtyard and spent an afternoon there soaking in the sun. If I have an opportunity to return, I would very much like to have lunch at the Tearoom. There is also a café near the main entrance and next to the set/stage they use for their podcast. The copies of the Declaration were the highlight for me. As a history nerd, I cannot fully describe what it meant to spend time in that room. It is an experience I highly recommend for anyone who is similarly interested in American history. I highly recommend a visit here. There is something for everyone.

I’ve had the honor of photographing a wedding at The Boston Public Library, and it really is a dream wedding venue to photograph at. The courtyard, the grand staircases, the way the light falls through those historic windows, it all feels straight out of a storybook. The team there is wonderful to work with too, making such an iconic space feel warm and personal.

Situated pretty much in a convenient location in the city. Easy to access and open to public till 8 pm or so. The ambience inside is simply beautiful and calm and quiet. One can sit here and work whole day. Just try to find a place where the onlookers ain’t so much. Lots of books to read on so many topics. And of course very helpful and kind staff.

BEAUTIFUL! The coolest architecture, light fixtures, study rooms — this is every book lover’s dream. They had an art exhibit, free public restrooms, and floors and rooms full of books and places to sit and read. It’s a must-see if you’re in the city.

Walking into the Boston Public Library for the first time felt like stepping into another world — one where knowledge, beauty, and history all collide in the most magical way. It’s not just a library; it’s an experience, a sanctuary, and a true cultural treasure. From the moment I entered the McKim Building, I was completely awestruck. The Renaissance-style architecture, grand staircases, arched ceilings, and murals by Edwin Abbey and John Singer Sargent — every detail felt like it belonged in a European palace. The Bates Reading Room, with its iconic green lamps and cathedral-like hush, took my breath away. Sitting there, surrounded by quiet thinkers and the weight of stories from centuries past, felt almost sacred. But what moved me most was how accessible and welcoming it all felt. The library isn’t just a monument to knowledge — it’s alive. Locals reading in the courtyard, students studying in the reading rooms, tourists marveling at the art and architecture… it’s a beautiful blend of old-world elegance and modern-day community. The courtyard, with its gentle fountain and open sky, is one of the most peaceful places I’ve ever sat with a book and a coffee. The Boston Public Library reminded me that public spaces can be powerful — places that inspire, connect, and elevate us. I left feeling both small in the best way and deeply grateful that such a place exists for everyone to enjoy.

The Boston Public library is filled with beautiful architecture, paintings and a ton of books! This is the biggest library that I’ve ever seen and has plenty of sections to explore with friends and family. If you have a visit, remember to look at the ceiling to appreciate the paintings.

Food was amazing! Great views too! Loved the steamers and fried oysters! Only thing amiss was the dog water bowl was not fresh. (I am sure this was a minor oversight) Definitely coming again!

Tony’s Clam Shop is a must visit when you're in Quincy! Nestled right across from Quincy Bay Beach, this spot offers unbeatable views, especially at sunset. We sat outside and watched the sky light up over the bay while enjoying fresh, flavorful seafood. My daughter had the Maine steamers (broiled clams), and I went with the cold Maine lobster tail. Both were delicious and served in generous portions. The atmosphere was relaxed, coastal, and perfect for unwinding after a busy day driving from the Philly area to Boston. We were just in town for a few days visiting colleges in Boston, and staying in Quincy turned out to be ideal. It gave us easy access to the city, while offering peaceful waterfront vibes and great food just steps away. Tony’s is one of those places you’ll remember long after the trip, definitely going back when we’re in the area again!

Best fish n chips and fried clams I’ve had in a long time! Fish was fried to perfection. Thick, light and juicy. Whole belly clams were as good as they come. Fries were tasty but needed a little salt. What I like most was the breading didn’t fall off and nothing was overly greasy. Well worth the price at this joint.

We met a couple at a bar in Salem and they mentioned if we want amazing fish and chips (and lobster rolls) to check these guys out. We were going to tour the USS Salem so we stopped here for lunch. We got fish and chips, fried clam strips, clam chowder and coleslaw. 10/10 For all of it. No room to try the lobster roll but everything else was AWESOME! It’s super cute and sits across the street from the beach.

I’ve been living in Boston my entire life and have NEVER heard of this place until today. My sister told me about it and we had to go. We have been craving fresh authentic seafood for a while. Upon arrival it was sort of busy but they have a great system which helped move lines along. I mean it’s your basic clam shop in Quincy, walk up to counter and order and then wait for food to be cooked. We had met a worker named Victoria ( who was so amazingly helpful, kind and so down to earth) along with the food she made our experience that much more top tier… Okay let’s get to the food deets… I ordered a seafood plate which came with calamari ( rings and tentacles ), shrimp ( huge), fish not sure what kind but by far was DIVINE ( wanna say haddock or cod), scallops, clam strips ( which I opted out b/c that’s not my cup of tea, so they gave me extra calamari and shrimps. All this was paired w/fries delicious which all cost around $42 well worth it. I noticed someone else had onion rings which looked out of this world and boy oh boy I tell you I’m glad I did a side order because they were sooooo good, pricing around $8-9. Very fulfilling so much I was able to share with others in my party. The food was NOT salty at all or greasy, and the best part was, it’s fried to perfection 👌🏾All that was needed was ketchup, hot sauce (gotta have it😌) and tarter sauce ( my preference). Victoria recommended the coleslaw which was 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 happy I took her advice. Now I’m a person who is extremely picky about coleslaw, but not here it’s superb and pairs well with the fish.. My daughter doesn’t like seafood at all, so she got the steak and cheese sub ( sorry didn’t get pics but trust me looked great) the bread looked like it was freshly baked and she too said the meat was seasoned well ( not salty). Her meal came with a bag of chips and a pickle for about $16. She wanted my fries which worked out well since I got onion rings.. So when ordering if you want fries tell them while ordering and opt out the chips, they probably will up charge but again well worth it… The Shirley Temples seemed to be a hit so thats what we ordered and my daughter loved it but to me it was a bit sweet. ( I’m used to drinking water) my sister got an Arnold Palmer in which she really enjoyed. * Forgot to mention lots of different options to choose from even healthy ones like broiled seafood, salads, fresh clams and lobster rolls etc. Atmosphere: Depending the weather they have tables with little cover tents to sit under and eat. Scenery is beautifully because the beach is in the background. Again depending on time you go you will have the sunset to look at while eating. But if that’s not your thing no problem there’s plenty of eating tables inside, which were very clean and big windows to still enjoy the sunsets and views of beach. Bathrooms were available for use as well. In addition per Victoria they have a bar out back w/ live band music ( you will have to check on social media because the days/times vary. [I did see people ordering drinks inside as well] All in all this place is a 💎 and will be my new favorite seafood spot! * Most questions about menu specifics can be seen on there website *

It was my wife and I first lobster roll. We had it with melted butter. Tony's had plenty of food in the order that included clam chowder, clam fritters, and fries. The staff was very helpful and the atmosphere was typical of a beachside restaurant.

Everything at Tony’s was exactly as I’d hoped. I came for the hype — and it delivered. Their lobster roll: generous chunks of lobster, no mince, no fillers, just sweet, fresh lobster tucked into a perfectly toasted hoagie. The portion shown was for three, yet it could have easily satisfied six. Pure lobster bliss.

Disappointed. Food was not fresh. Uni and scallops had an odd taste. The tuna tartare reminds me of mashed potatoes. Everything was mushy you can't tell what you are eating. The bread was soft and warm though. Presentation felt like you went to Kura. The fish was sliced incorrectly and tendons were so thick that you can't even chew through it. We ordered appetizers and they came after we finish our meal. Service was extremely slow, we even forgot an order and almost left.

Stopped by for a late lunch (right when dinner started) , the sushi was prepared very quickly and the tasted pretty fresh. I really enjoy the experience and I am expecting to come back, the price was little pricy, but not unexpected for good sushi They accidentally gave us an extra order, but gave no issue on not charging us. Overall a good experience

I opted for the dinner set because there’s so many options but this was the best balance of trying different things at a fixed price. My favorite was the potato salad which came in a sphere shape and you’re supposed cut it in half with a spoon, mix and mash it altogether. There’s like a preserved egg yolks with ikura, potato as the outer layer and seasoning. It’s definitely creative and fun. Next on my favorite was the tempura. Perfectly fried and the veggies/ seafood they used was crisp. Love that they provided different types of salt. The tuna cuts weren’t my favorite because the way it was cut, there was lots of tendon making it hard to chew. The stir fries soba was tasty and filling (and a bit greasy) But otherwise, I really enjoyed my set dinner menu. Service was attentive though I felt like my waitress was a bit rude at first when we ordered - like she was fed up about something. She came around later, rest of the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating- we had a party of 3 adults and 4 children between the ages of 2 to 7. Food was really good - portions are smaller. Most rolls are 4 pieces versus 6. Everything tasted fresh. The only complaint I would have is the food is a little salty for my preferences but this is subjective. The ramen was very flavorful and tasty. Would go again.

Outstanding. Each dish was very tasty and the service was phenomenal. We were greeted and sat at a comfy table. I loved that the tables already had utensils, sauces, and menus at them conveniently located. The eel roll had giant pieces of eel on top! The spicy crunchy tuna was such a great contrast between hot and crunchy on bottom shine being soft and cool on top. The ume cocktail was delightful - highly recommended if you like sweet and sour. The lychee martini was very delicate. And a special shout out to the sweet symphony parfait which was such an eclectic mix but every bite was absolutely tasty! Definitely check this place out!

Amazing sushi quality! Every piece feels fresh and uniquely prepared. Not to mention the visually pleasant presentation as well. It's my first time, and I'm completely happy to try it out

WOW WOW WOW! This place is doing sushi right! Lots of small bites for a great price! Highly recommend coming for their lunch specials, you can get a little bit of everything! Very very reasonably priced for sushi and even more so for the Boylston/ Newbury St. area! Very impressed with the quality of fresh fish and amazing selection of choices. Michelin star quality sushi for tavern price! I will definitely be back

I've only ever come here a few times for ice cream, lured in by the sign proclaiming soft-serve and its close proximity to the beach. They have NEVER had soft-serve (the entire season of 22 as of the writing of this message) and while the ice cream is fine (limited flavor selection) it is nothing special either. I got candy bits in a cup with a cone on top and it was good but would not go out of my way for it. If you come here I'd go for a slushie, those are nice and refreshing on a hot day. The ice cream can take a bit of a long time to come on a busy day. I've never tried there food but would be open to it. There is only outside seating and it can be limited. This place also gets super crowded at peak times. I'd grab your food then hope across the street and sit on the walk along the beach.

Great spot for some tacos and ice cream right across from Wollaston Beach. Absolutely my go to taco place in Quincy. Service is quick and friendly, and seating on site can be a tad limited, but not an issue cos you can go sit on the beach and eat!

Delicious tacos at a great price - two for $5-7, and a view of the beach! Generous portions of meat or fish plus flavorful sauces and pickled vegetables. Definitely recommend the street corn. Save room for ice cream or Italian ice!

Best tacos I've ever had, they deserve 6 stars. This beats SoCal, Mexico, and all the other places I've had Mexican food. The fish, pork, and beef tacos are amazing. The nachos are great. The street corn is awesome. Even their ice cream is really good. Go there and you won't be disappointed.

Only have had the ice cream here because there aren’t many ice cream options in the area. Sundaes are good but they close so early.

Friendly staff, fast service, and the food was good - but it's expensive for the quantity of food. The prices are higher than they are on the website, and there are no photos of accurate menu prices posted by the owner.

This place has unfortunately gone downhill since new ownership took over. The tacos are still tasty but the prices are too high, especially for the ice cream and inconsistent portions.

We came here for a dessert and it didn’t disappoint. Bread pudding was great! We didn’t have a reservation but they have high tops by the bar for first come first serve and we were able to easily get a table and enjoy our dessert.

Party of 7 (6 adults and one 5 yr old) this family night out did not disappoint-impeccable service by Andrew W- he made us feel very attended to throughout the meal- drinks & appetizer( oysters/ chicken wings/ octopus)were scrumptious- steaks were cooked to perfection and both specials (prime rib and halibut) were excellent- dessert did not disappoint- all were yummy (chocolate cake/ crème brûlée/panna cotta) and a perfect way to end the meal!

I recently moved from New York and have been exploring bars around Boston. I was excited to find this rooftop spot had TouchTunes, which I love! As a Dominican woman in my mid-30s, I was looking forward to hearing some Spanish music—something that makes me feel at home. Unfortunately, my experience was completely ruined by Amir (I hope I’m spelling that correctly). He was rude, condescending, and downright disrespectful. I paid extra credits $7 more—to hear a song by El Alfa. The song was skipped 44 seconds in. When I politely asked why, Amir responded, “Sometimes people play shitty songs, and we have the right to change it.” That comment wasn’t just unprofessional, it was offensive. I was the only Spanish-speaking person at the bar, and his tone and attitude made me feel completely disrespected and excluded. I've heard people say Boston can feel racist but I hadn’t experienced it myself until that moment. Everyone’s money spends the same. I came to this bar to have a good time like everyone else. If you’re someone who values inclusion and respect, think twice before supporting a business that allows staff like Amir to decide who deserves to enjoy the music and the atmosphere based on their personal preferences. This experience was incredibly disappointing. I won’t be returning—and I wouldn’t recommend this spot to anyone looking for a welcoming, diverse vibe.

Great spot! Love the rooftop vibe, and the food is always amazing. We started with the octopus and spider roll sushi, both were super satisfying. For mains, we had the grilled swordfish and lobster ravioli, and they were absolutely delicious. The food is top tier, and the staff was really nice and welcoming. Highly recommend!

We went to the roof deck as soon as it opened to have some drinks, apps, and dinner. The wait staff is always kind, attentive, and personable. The food and drinks were top notch. Nice to see the owner (Leo) moving plants and trees around, arranging the deck space, helping out the staff. Always great food and service here. Highly recommended

rarely leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share our experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was unwelcoming. We chose to have dinner on the rooftop deck, which, while crowded, had ample seating. However, it quickly became clear that the vibe catered to a specific crowd, and we didn’t feel like we fit in. Our server was noticeably unfriendly and gave off an uncomfortable energy that made the experience awkward. It was hard to understand why he was in a customer-facing role, as he seemed clearly unhappy to be there. Additionally, we felt out of place, with several people around us staring, which only added to the discomfort. The food and drinks simply missed the mark. For the price, we expected much better quality. Honestly, I’d rather take the drive to Boston, where I know I can count on excellent food and service. This place felt overpriced, overhyped, and ultimately not worth it. We left early and won’t be returning.

The bartenders that "work" at the roof top are seriously awful! And Lazy!!! My friend and I went there for the first time yesterday. Waited and waited at the bar and no one came around at all!!!!!! I tried getting the attention of one of the girls and nothing. One blond girl long hair was useless! Just standing looking around not helping. We Still waited. Then a young women went behind the bar i asked her if I can order some drinks. She was not the bartender but she did went out of her way to help!!!! I don't know her name but I will make a call to speak to the manager/owner because that young women was helping everyone!!! She was great!!! She deserves a raise!!! Some girl finally came around. A While later I tried to get another drink and the same thing happened!!! Mind you the place wasn't crowded and plenty of bar people not helping. The bartenders having a chat not giving a shit about the customers! Laughing and standing next to the register! My friend and I got tired of the bad service I even had to stand up to ask if we could get the bill to pay and were told someone will bring the check...2 beers!! My friend and I wanted to get some more drinks but the lack of service got us to leave! ALSO There were 2 other people right next to me that were waiting for a while to get drinks. RIDICULOUS!!!!! OWNER Management definitely NEEDS to SPEAK and TRAIN the bar people. No need to ignore customers!!! A job is a job! Do the job!!! HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!

I have wanted to visit for years and I finally got my chance. What a wonderful museum. I truly enjoyed that it was organized the way she wanted and that won't change. I found it refreshing that there weren't descriptions posted on everything because I'd recently felt that, for me personally, I was spending more time reading and less time observing. The courtyard is delightful and unifies the whole museum, the floral design was beautiful. Thank you to all the helpful staff as well. I'm looking forward to my next visit

Amazing I’ve been dying to come to this museum for 5 years now and finally I was able to see it. The collection is extensive and gorgeous. The garden transports you to a calm and serene place. I spent about 30 minutes looking out into it and admiring it before continuing with the rest of the museum

Visited on a weekday with my child and had a great experience exploring the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The museum has three floors filled with a variety of art objects, each room curated with its own unique theme. Many rooms feature beautiful and rare religious artifacts. Even on a weekday, it was quite crowded, so moving through some areas took time. Timed-entry tickets are required, so it’s best to reserve in advance. The courtyard garden is stunning, with blooming flowers creating a peaceful and colorful atmosphere. Overall, it was a good visit and worth the trip.

This was by far one of the coolest collections of art from around the world. I have never visited such a well thought out installation. The walk through was a feast for the eyes! Each room was better than the last and the interior garden was breathtaking!

Wow. This was a stunning collection of art, carefully curated into distinct rooms to complement each piece. The museum itself is beautiful and peaceful. It has art but also lots of fun pieces of history as well. The audioguides are informative and interesting! I spent 3 hours here, but could have spent the day. I do love museums though. Definitely worth a visit! Come early and/or book tickets online. They do sell out. There is a cafe and a gift shop.

The museum’s famous garden was beautiful, and there was certainly a great number of collections for an individual to amass. However, I wish there had been more explanations or descriptions next to the exhibits. We visited as soon as it opened on Saturday, and it was already quite packed to really enjoy the art.

An extraordinary museum with a unique atmosphere that feels more like stepping into a beautiful home than a gallery. The courtyard is breathtaking, the art collection is diverse, and every corner tells a story. A peaceful yet inspiring place that combines history, architecture, and culture in a way unlike any other museum. Truly unforgettable.

Beautiful church. Beautiful architecture. Came 10 minutes before closing for their last tour. You definitely don't need a lot of time to see everything if you're in a rush, however it's $10 to tour. Very cool visit.

Beautiful and over 100 years old. Father Jean I believe was his name gave us a little bit of information and welcomed us with a smile. He told us there’s bathrooms which we later used and also told us about the throne where Pope JP II sat when he visited the US for the first time and allowed us to seat on it and take pictures.

It was great to see the beautiful architecture of the old church, inside and outside. The wood carvings were too beautiful to describe. It is not a quick trip. There is so much to see. Everywhere I looked was amazing 👏

• Founded: 1733 • Current Building Completed: 1877 Built after the original church was destroyed in the Great Boston Fire of 1872 • Known for: • Its massive stone arches • Stunning murals and stained glass windows • A central tower

I loved Trinity Church. It's a little gem. The outside is very gorgeous especially since the church is surrounded by modern skyscrapers. But it's the inside that it's breathtaking. The price to enter is $10 for adults. Worth it a visit.

Admission cost does apply. A genuinely unique church, rich in history and boasting gorgeous architecture! This church is located in the heart of Copley Square--a few blocks away from the Back Bay station and across from the Boston Public Library and Green Line Trains. During the tour, please take a moment to learn about the architecture, incredible murals, and how it has been utilized today... It's not just a church!

It was great to walk through this edifice. Beautiful arranged and well laid out. Listening to the audio explanation about the history and layout is worthwhile too.

Great museum with an accurate selection of pieces showing to the public MIT’s contribution. The collection shows different periods advancements from early XX century technologies to contemporary robots allowing visitors to interact.

An amazing experience! The MIT Museum offers a perfect mix of science, technology, and creativity. I loved the interactive exhibits and the fascinating stories behind the innovations. Great for anyone curious about how ideas shape our world. Definitely worth visiting.

Amazing science and technology museum! Will definitely inspire you to do high quality research in your area. You can easily spend 2-3 h here. Lot of good information to read if you're interested. Engineering students and graduate students might really enjoy the exhibits. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

The MIT Museum felt like a museum made up of the work of graduate students and recent MIT graduates, including work relating to the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Biology. This was alongside interactive installations and some rare, vintage items. There were also more artistic installations, so overall it was quite varied in its offerings. I would say it did not blow me away completely, though I did enjoy several parts of it. It was also a bit small to my liking, just two floors and one of the floors (the 3rd) was around half. Worth a visit nonetheless and it gets you in the MIT engineering and hacking culture but also the wonder of biological discovery and CRISPR.

Is it terrible of me to say that I miss some of the older exhibits and enjoyed the museum more prior to the renovation? I know that sounds awful! But the small nature of the other museum and some of the exhibits, such as the kinetic machines, were really attractive and fun, and this one seems as if it is somehow more sterile. It also seemed as if the older museum really catered more for inquisitive adults, and this museum had children running all over the place! There are so many museums and exhibits in the city that really cater to children, that it would be wonderful to have a museum that is more suitable for adults. I have children; they are older now, and I’m not anti-children, but the older museum felt more adult – focused. This one also felt like it was singing the praises of MIT more, which is great, that’s why we’re there, but I would love to know what the researchers are up to, without having an interactive exhibit that asked me what I like most about MIT. I really don’t know what I like most about MIT, because I don’t attend MIT. And the exhibit asked me for adjectives to describe MIT. I think that feels more like an assignment for the students and professors, and perhaps that’s the point of this new museum? Perhaps it’s supposed to be a hub for MIT students and professors and also…visitors. Regardless, bring back more exhibits that are interactive/movement based. Again, I’m returning to the kinetic exhibit, but have things that we can really watch and engage in, rather than looking at an object and having the explanation next to it on the wall. Yes, there were a few things to engage in, especially with the AI section, but we can write a collaborative poem with AI at home. I’m wondering how they could make things more interactive and also capture the attention of the adults. I was there with my 22-year-old son, who is a stem guy and is majoring in stem in college, and he just didn’t seem to feel it had a lot to offer either. Also, the last time I was there, I went by the gift shop and bought some periodic table of the elements bags and mugs etc. Now my daughter is a chemist at the Mayo Clinic, I was so excited to run in the gift shop and grab a bunch of chemistry items, and the gift shop instead had lots of kids toys in it. It was fairly disappointing. I would love it to be more Stem related and less about the dehydrated ice cream that you can get when you visit the Smithsonian Museums in DC. Not really even MIT related. Just stuff you’d find in any children’s tech museum gift shop. I did manage to find a chemistry-related glass and a game of chemistry flux. Also, I would’ve loved to have seen some more of their robotics. They have some on display at the museum of science, why could we not watch some of them on display here? Overall, an underwhelming experience. Would hope for more adult and interactive and challenging exhibits in the future, and let’s tilt the gift shop to be things that would be less children- focused as well. This isn’t really a children’s museum, is it? Or perhaps I’m missing the point, and it is supposed to be now.

If you are a MIT student I highly recommend that you visit the Museum at some point. It is highly unqiue and provides a gateway into the MIT way (P.S its free for students!). If you are visiting the area the MIT Museum offers great exhibits that are both timeless and unique to the current state of the world/technology. Great for kids and families!

A waste of time and money for me. So sorry. I thought I'd see real explanations of AI, robotics, etc but instead of that I saw walls of text and unmoving exhibits like old rulers, robotic hand, and circuits. Yes, they could be there but without cutting edge science and real explanations (not looped videos ) it could be so much better. Just not that visual or breakthrough, I guess . And btw, there is a war with 'dangerous white males' throughout texts in the museum. Disappointed.

A hole in the wall. Been living in whole life in Boston and my first time here. My friends brought me here as this was the place they had their first date back in the 90's. Food was amazing. I would love to go again.

As a person who has worked in food service, I hesitate to ever write a mean review. However, I have never interacted with a more rude or disrespectful staff in my entire life so I felt I should warn people to avoid this place.

Came here after reading all the great reviews. Service was good, but the food was not worth the detour. We both had the chicken parm; it was fine, just not great. Given that, the prices were a bit too high.

After 15 hours on a train and getting in late to our hotel, we were looking for a place to get some food and drink, when we came across Anchovies. What a cool place when we walked in it was busy but the server and bartender booted us right away and got a seated. They were extremely helpful and explained some items to us and we had a fantastic dinner! The drinks were absolutely phenomenal, and they were stiff!!! No small half pours here! Wow!!!! We are definitely glad we found this place and we will probably eat here again on this trip. I can’t say enough about the environment and the food and the drinks and our server Peter was as good as they come! Would definitely recommend!!!!

Wish I could give this place 0 stars. I've never been so shocked and caught off guard by an employee. The woman bartender both yelled in my face and snatched the menu out of my hands after I finished ordering a beer. My friend and I stood there completely startled. After looking at reviews, it looks like many other customers have experienced negative interactions with her. I don't understand why the bar has not addressed this issue. Additionally, my friends and I (22-24f) were stared at the whole night by middle aged men. Horrible vibes here and I would not recommend it to anyone, especially young women. Stay away.

I’ve been going here for 20 years. Completely get the nostalgia and home-y neighborhood atmosphere. I do not get why the same bartender always takes at least 20 minutes to take my order for a drink and offer a menu. Ignores me and takes else’s order. No eye contact, no acknowledgment.

Anchovies is just amazing. Do you wanna good drinks? You have it. Great food? You get it. Anchovies is the place you can call home. I really love it.

I was in town for work and we went out to Tasty Burger for lunch. This was right across from Fenway Park. I will say, this place lives up to its name of Tasty Burger. It really was great. They also had some roll-up windows on the side to let in fresh air, which was really nice. They had some cool artwork up, including ones from the movie from which Tasty Burger was born. I wish we had some of these near us where I live.

(8/20/25) We had an absolutely excellent experience dining here for the first time! It’s a comfortable casual atmosphere. The noise level was quiet during our particular stop. The food is very delicious and cooked perfectly! Great menu items and their prices are very competitively priced for the quantities they serve! The wait staff are top notch; friendly and knowledgeable and very responsive. Can’t say enough good stuff about this restaurant!! Highly recommend! We will definitely return here during our next Boston trip!!

Great prices for food and drinks! Post Halloween bar crawl was a special time to be at tasty burger. Luckily we got seated almost immediately. There was a table of grannies, various mario characters and animals, and regulars as well. Got the cheeseburger and 50/50. Onion rings are delicious, fries are perfect too. Must try the tasty fry seasoning!

The food is so amazing I’ll be back - however service is truly awful. Went at 11 , ordered a regular chicken sandwich with all of the fixings and a shake for take out. In the takeout area there is no seating and we stood for around an hour to get a sandwich that had no fixings. I didn’t even bother to tell the server cause my parking expired at midnight. Hustled back to my parking and just threw the sandwich in the fridge for lunch tomorrow. Still, despite anything on it, tasted flipping great. I’ll be back, and make sure I have plenty of time to spare. But please for the love of sandwiches try to fix your service quality. I don’t minding standing around for something truly awesome but man what a disappointment not having any fixings.

Fatty processed chicken sandwiches all stringy pieces of fat throughout every bite. Completely inedible and disgusting. See photos for examples. Absolutely horrid experience start to finish. They should remove this from their menus and change their business name as it was far from tasty let alone pleasant. Uber driver was smoking in the passenger seat and took 2+ hours to deliver. Food was cold and overall one of the worst experiences to date.

I caught dinner here before a Red Sox game - the staff seem to be knowledgeable about allergens so I recommend trying here if you have allergies. I have a dairy allergy, so I got their Turney burger without cheese on a gluten and dairy free bun. The bun was very dry, but flavorful - the turkey patty and sauce were good. I loved their fries/fry seasoning.

I wanted just a great ballpark meal, and I got it! I got a hot dog with some onion rings, and my husband got a burger. Our server was cool and joked with us a bunch, and I had a great time! I joked that the burger looked so perfect, it looked like a crabby patty.
