Restaurants on the Pier in Boston

As the capital of Massachusetts and the largest city in New England, Boston is home to 700,000 people. It's a popular tourist destination thanks to its significance to our country's establishment, and because of its friendly and sophisticated people and lively, diverse culture, art and nightlife. The city is most easily broken down into three areas: North End, Downtown Crossing and Fort Point Channel. Along the water and to the south, Fort Point Channel offers a renovated childrens' museum and the recently opened Institute of Contemporary Art. Whether you choose to take in a Bruins or Celtics game, hop in the car and venture outside the city proper to enjoy the 85,000 acre Mass Audubon's Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary and go hiking or walk along the Charles River in Waltham, numerous adventures await you.
