  • Frozen Four - Where to Eat? Drink? Must See Stuff

    OK, help us out Boston peeps. Tell us about your favorite places to eat and drink. What are the "must see" places? We won't have a car so downtown stuff or easily traveled by public transportation would be appreciated!
    Believe it. Earn it. Raise it.

    Dinner in North End. Arrive around 5, find the tiniest restaurant with the longest line and get in it. You'll have some of the best Italian you've ever had.

      Giacomo's. There's also one in the South End. Bring cash, they don't take credit cards.

      Seafood - go to the No Name on the Fish Pier. Casual. Inexpensive. Freshest fish you ever had.

      Mike's Pastry in the North End. It's walking distance from the Garden. Or Cafe Vittorio. I've gone there for gelato.

      Grill 23 is the best steakhouse in Boston.

      Where are people staying?

        I have always enjoyed Restaurant Marliave at 10 Bosworth St. old school Italian in downtown crossing without the North End wait. http://www.marliave.com/home/ Also like The Littlest Bar near there as well. http://www.littlestbar.com/ The Black Rose near Quincy Market is always good for Irish music. Taking a tour of Fenway Park would also be cool. Grabbing a sausage of one of the carts over there if available is not to be missed, there are a few nightclubs near Fenway as well. Tell the wives to head for Newbury St for shopping. For history buffs the Freedom Trail is always interesting. If kids are along mine loved Quincy Market and the Aquarium nearby.

          Mike's is big, busy, and has a big selection. For cannoli, though, try Parziale's on Prince st., also in the North End and close to the Garden. Just check the hours because it's not a tourist place and doesn't stay open late.

            That'll make the game tickets seem like a bargain.

              Thanks - we are staying at Hotel 140. I don't know the address - just that it is downtown.

                Food

                North End is right near the garden. La Dolce Vita is a place I recommend. For Pastries Modern to me is better than Mike's. The lines are crazy for both so if you don't want to wait go to Bova's on the corner of Prince Street and Salem Street.

                Bar food there are tons of places to go by the Garden. The Fours, Grand Canal have good food. If you just want to drink any place around there is pretty good.

                  these places will probably not be mentioned anywhere else

                  for lunch Wed-Fri go to sam lagrassa's in town. get a sandwich (wide selection) and the fries. there is a line and not many seats, but you'll get through and get a seat. (44 province st) this is a little 1/2 block side street parallel with washington and between school st & bromfield st (T stops state & downtown crossing & park street (all colors)). a little pricey - sandwich and fries will run you ~$17 but are fantastic. you will thank mookie. no booze.

                  redbones bbq serves lunch and dinner. this is in davis sq (red line) off elm street @ 55 chester st. good stuff. full bar (very important for this crowd )

                  for italian i go to d'parma which is in maverick sq (blue line stop) in east boston and a 2 minute walk from the station. this is the first stop after the airport heading into town. 182 sumner street. the d'parma salad is a go to for mookie. full bar (very important for this crowd )

                  pho? new dong khanh in chinatown (chinatown stop orange line) 81 harrison st. cash only and no booze. but better than the pho joints on beach st - imho

                  chinese? noodle plates i'd stay on harrison and hit asian garden at 28 harrison. also standard chinese dishes but i get fried noodles here. for other chinese food i hit china king at 60 beach st.
                  for old school chinese food try taiwan cafe at 34 oxford st which is next door to china king.

                  bars:
                  around the garden they run from jumping night spots like the north star and the harp, to dives like sully's tap. you'll see them all there. the four's is cool as it has a mini-sports museum feel to it and others will mention it (sorry, mookie promised he wasn't going to do this)

                  since i did, i'll add everyone will tell you to grab a guiness at the black rose near faneuil hall at 160 state street (green orange and blue lines - haymarket, state)

                  jj foley's is a dive'ish place near downtown crossing (orange & red lines) that gets a good after work crowd and has that feel. 21 kingston st. also on this street is the good life (same owner as the north star) and kingston crossing. all 3 are bars with food and become more upscale as you read them in that order.
                  a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.

                    Hotel 140 is in the Back Bay where there are tons of good restaurants. The walk to the Garden is 25-30 minutes on foot and probably a 10 minute cab ride.

                      THAT'S a hotel??? I walk by that every day to the office from the T. Great location. The Back Bay Orange Line T stop is a block away. Takes you right to North Station. Grill 23 is a block away from that hotel, too. That's really close to the Marathon finish line as well. The Hancock Tower is at 200 Clarendon. Not sure if the observation deck is open. The observation deck at the top of the Prudential Tower is open.

                        Only place I ever ate by the old and new Garden(s) was the Burger King by the old "T" trestle, not sure if it's even there anymore

                          That is gone I believe. The area by the Garden has vastly changed.

                            Regarding Grill 23: will hottie bartender be there all weekend? I'd like to put a face to the name.
                            I was told there would be no math...

                              posted from FF thread:

                              If you want a great craft beer bar, I'd highly recommend The Publick House in Brookline on Beacon St. Easily accessible on the Green Line, right off the stop, no walk necessary, extraordinary selection of beer you can only find in a very, very small number of places. Be wary of Garden-area sports bars or "Irish" bars, they're often overpriced glorified college bars serving up Bud Light in plastic cups.

                              Also, I've always thought Mike's was good but more of a tourist-hyped place. Modern Pastry down the street is another great choice, and around a few corners is Bova's Bakery (24 hours!) that's excellent.
                              ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
