The Black Rose is a good spot. The tours are great, very walk able city. Dorchester and South Boston I'd avoid.

Why?

They are kips full of sh*t pubs full of counts.

I assume Baseball season is still on then? Make sure you get to Fenway for a game if it is.

Sissy K's above the Roisin dubh is a great spot for the young ones but if it's a family holiday then maybe not.

You font need to test before you go do you ?

They didn't ask for vac cert last time I was over back in October but make sure your ESTA is still valid and bring a papercopy of your vac cert just encase.

Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

going over to Boston on a work trip in May, the office is next to TD Gardens and we've been told to stay in and around there if possible, is that handy to areas with decent bars and restaurants?

probably won't have much free time outside of the evenings so would like to be staying somewhere I can dander about easily if possible

You are basically in the city centre and could walk to numerous bars and restaurants within 10 to 20 minutes. Some alright bars in your doorstep too.

Good chance of the Celtics having a home playoff game when you are there then. If I were you I'd try to go, it's a great night out. You'll want to get your ticket on ticketmaster as close to the game as possible. The closer to the game, the cheaper the ticket will be - is a good rule of thumb. TD Garden look for passport as a form of ID when serving alcohol to foreigners so just something to be aware of.

For quick bites, I would recommend Regina Pizzeria, which is about a 10 minute walk away from TD Garden. Great pizza in here. I'd also recommend Paulis which is a really good sandwich spot about 15 minutes walk away from TD Garden. It's as good a spot as any to try a Lobster Roll but their other sandwiches are unbelievable.

Good spot this.

Got the train to Andrew and walked around Dorchester and South Boston on the Sunday morning. Loads of open bars with music, savage food and cocktails all round. Looked a great place to be.

Stopped off for a curer and some lunch.

The price of everything in Boston is very expensive. Paying close to 15e for a beer in some places. 375e a night in the hotel too.

Great craic in the Harpoon brewery tour - 5$ in and you just go out back and drink as many small glasses of beers as you can in 30 mins.

How many did you get in?
