Going in October just for a few days since we’ve never been. What should we do? Places to eat? Obviously not baseball season, sooo…

Edit: Please move to Travel or Food board

Row 34 was really good. Hit up Abita on the travel board. He will steer you right.

Do not have names but Newburry Street is a great place to eat and walk around. I have had the best Indian meal of my life there.

Friend,

Apples are good, especially at the peak of their season. However, there are several fruits I enjoy more including blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, fresh Rainier cherries, tree ripened Louisiana oranges, mango, plums, and fresh peaches.

Apples and watermelons are probably on par with each other for me. But if I am really thirsty I would prefer watermelon.

I like apples more than pears, kiwis, bananas, pineapple, and grapes.

As for Boston pizza, try Ernesto’s, Regina, and Picco.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

Neptune Oyster.

20-30 min wait worth it.

Wow, really appreciate these responses. Anything in particular you liked going to do or see not including a game at Fenway?

I like the Daily Catch for Italian/Seafood.

There's one on Hanover in the North End, but the one in Brookline has a much better parking situation. Food is pretty equal in both locations. Hanover street is much cooler to walk around and people watch though and closer to the arena/downtown.

I haven't been to the Waterfront location.

Top of mind?

Yvonne’s
Mamma Maria
Giacomo’s
Row 34

Edit: reading through the suggestions already given and it is mostly horrible advice.
