Best lobster roll in New England. Make sure to order it warm with butter, and start with oysters before the meal. My favorite raw bar in the city.

If you have to eat Italian food in the North End, this is one of the few good places to do it. The neighborhood is filled with tourist traps, but Carmen is a consistently good hole in the wall.

An amazing menu that changes nightly. Also home to the best burger in Boston. It's not on the menu, and the chef will only make 20 a night, so go to the bar, and ask if the burger is available

Fantastic Afghan food. You'll get better service if you call ahead a few minutes to have them hold a table for you.

Great restaurant/bar/raw bar if you're looking for a place to be near Fenway Park. A great alternative to the obnoxious sports bars that are just a few blocks closer to the park.

This unique restaurant is an active butcher shop by day and restaurant by night. Not just a meat and potatoes steakhouse, the menu items are creative and innovative.

They make pizza, ice cream and have a great selection of local beer. Avoid the pizza in my Italian neighborhood, Picco is far better.

Currently one of my favorite restaurants in the city. They make modern Chinese small plates, and all of their noodles and dumplings are made from scratch by hand in the restaurant.

Shopping

Great seafood selection if you're looking to make food at home, friendly owners and the in-house sushi chef is better than most sushi restaurants in the city.

Drinks & Nightlife

My other favorite Irish bar. No TVs in sight, always an Irish bartender, cash only, no menu (but you can bring food from outside into the bar.) A great local bar off the beaten path.

A great little dive bar in the middle of the city. The cheapest drinks in town, a pretty rough looking group of regulars at the bar and it's only rarely that it smells so bad that you can't stay.

They make classic cocktails, serve food late and are great whether you need a place for an after-work drink or someplace to end your night.

My new favorite restaurant in the area. They make modern French fair, and the 'egg in a jar' is currently my favorite thing to eat. Wait staff is also prone to hand out free drinks and appetizers.

Sightseeing

Great place for a scenic walk and a chance to get out of the city. Connects to the Arnold Arboretum on one end and the Fens at the other.

Boston's third, and less-known gas lit neighborhood. Walk through on your way to Back Bay. It's a pleasant change of pace from the more crowded and newer streets downtown.
