Breakfast, Lunch and Dessert - this is my go to spot! Across from Back Bay Station and a playground, we go here often. I get the season Turkey Sandwich and double chocolate cookie. Tommy love the chive and cheddar scone. Great breakfast sandwiches/pastries and really a MUST if you ask me.

If you want an affordable meal, this place can't be beat. A little dark but delicious, portions are huge! Nick loves their martinis. Very casual and LGBTQ friendly - however, everything in the south end is to be honest!!!

Parks & Nature
The esplanade has free concerts in the warm seasons. It's perfect for running, long walks and playgrounds with kids. This is where I go running along with every other Bostonian. Amazing walkways without cars! Take the Dartmouth Street or Arlington Bridge to get over the highway.
