Tried the pizza, which was indeed very good (the bread especially). Enjoyed the outdoor seating. The prices were on the higher side, even for the North End.
Great place to buy your bulk food (e.g. cereal) and related supplies (e.g. cooking utensils), for high savings versus nearby supermarkets.
One of the three bike shops in Jamaica Plain. Good service for quick work otherwise need to book in advance or wait for days to weeks.
Take your bike (or rent BlueBike) and go from Jamaica Plain all the way to Mass Ave, Newbury Street, Esplanade, and North End. Excellent!
The perfect place to learn to sail, windsurf, and kayak. The price is VERY reasonable and the Charles river is ideal for newbies. Plus the location is beautiful for sunbathing and other activities.
One of very few (if not only) brunch restaurants with outdoor seating on center street (including Monday mornings). Menu options numerous and varied. Service helpful. Prices reasonable.
Tacos, burritos, bowls, appetizers, and drinks (draft beers too)! The full Monty is available. Nice outdoor space. Relatively good prices given location.
Probably the best part of the long sandy beach in South Boston because the sea is clean and relatively deep early on. Only negative is no immediate access to public transportation.
Great stopover historical attraction in the Bangor radius. Definitely see both the fort and the observatory on the bridge (as well as the bridge itself). Plan for about 3-4 hours to see everything.
Not a top 5 attraction but worth to visit (tour guide not really needed) and learn about important local historical figures.
Top-5 attraction. It was worth the price, tour guide was knowledgeable, and great panoramic views up top for photos. Can park next to city hall (20 dollars per day) and walk there (and elsewhere).
This is the number one attraction (sorry observatory). Noteworthy is the current exposition of David Driskell. Of course the “Masters” collection (corner of 1st floor and 3rd floor) are amazing too.
Surprisingly good Italian food (e.g. pizza). The shaded patio in front is especially welcome during the hot weather. Only negative is the relatively high price (note: 3.90 dollars for an espresso).
There are many options for pizza and pasta (fully customizable) and also sit outside (cozy garden). The price/quality is very good (e.g. only 15 dollars for four portions of pasta with tomato sauce).
Right on the sea (get a table on the seaside outdoor seating), great views, excellent quality food (lobster, but even the salad!) and paired beer or wine. Only slight negative was the high price…
Great variety including vegetarian and vegan options (try the Cuban Burrito). The outside space is cozy.
Great seafood, especially lobster, with a view (small outdoor space). Nestled right on the sea.
Best pizzeria in North End with many options. The food is good quality and plentiful. The prices are reasonable.
One of the few non-tourist traps of the North End. Prices reasonable and food/drink diverse. Indeed, cannolis good. Only problem is service, which is practically non-existent unfortunately.
Tons of options from breakfast to dinner including vegan. Great outdoor space when weather permits. Negative is price which is on the expensive side and sizes which are on the smaller side.
This eatery deserves a higher score! They have an outdoor space, diverse food (including vegan options), greats tastes (especially tacos), and can have half liter beer for 7 dollars.
I have only had the pad Thai (both chicken/shrimp and vegan versions) and I have to admit that it is very tasty, relatively low-cost (especially the lunch option), and filling.
