Today, Emily from
so anthro is sharing all of the reasons that she loves her city - Boston, MA. I've been there a few times, but not in the last 10 years or so. From what I remember, its a gorgeous city, filled with lots of history, amazing food ... and Red Sox fans (
ew.) I will turn my cheek to the Yankee haters in exchange for some chowder. I'll leave it to Emily to share the rest!
I've lived in Boston for 4 years.
Boston has so many amazing restaurants, but my favorite spots to dine are:
The Paramount for a date night: It's very famous for its breakfasts, but what few people know is at night it turns into a very sweet and romantic little dinner place-- a totally different feel from the weekend brunch rush!
Tory Row for a night with the girls: Right in Harvard Square, cafeteria-style tables, and pitchers of sangria? Yes please.
The Friendly Toast for Sunday brunch & you're likely to find pumpkin pancakes and amazing hash browns on my plate... or two plates... |

My favorite shopping spot is Newbury Street. It's known as the Rodeo Drive of the East! All of the major designers line it plus some great little independent boutiques and vintage shops, and it's so beautiful around the holidays. I also love shopping in Harvard Square though, it's quieter and can be just a little easier on the wallet :) |

One hidden gem in Boston is South Station! Or at least all of the places it can take you. As much as I adore Boston, sometimes it's nice to get out of the city for a day, and I think people are always forgetting about our awesome Commuter Rail lines that can get you to some gorgeous New England beaches in under half an hour! Not to mention apple orchards and pumpkin patches at this time of year (Salem anyone??). |

When I have visitors, three places I insist on taking them are The Public Garden, the waterfront, & to see my alma mater!  |

If I have a free day in the city, you'll likely find me ..... dancing or taking photos around the Boston Harbor... or both!
One neighborhood I'd love to live in is Beacon Hill, because who doesn't love adorable old brownstones with a classic New England feel? |

My favorite season in the city is fall because there is nothing like the colors in The Boston Common and Public Garden during autumn. AND it means Halloween is coming up and we can go trick-or-treating at John Kerry's house :)
If I could describe Boston in three words they would be ambitious, classic & yet eclectic.
My favorite thing about Boston is how you can walk {almost} anywhere.
Although I love Boston, if I could move to one other city tomorrow it would be London.
Thanks so much for sharing, Emily! I laughed so hard about trick-or-treating at John Kerry's - definitely a unique perk to living in Boston. I've never been to Public Gardens but they look so pretty! For more from this series, just click below:
