Emily Waterfield
Explore
Soak up the sun! Spend the day outdoors exploring the Boston Harbor Islands. If you haven’t checked them out yet, be sure to spend some time at this South Boston gem before the summer ends. This Saturday at 9:30am and 1pm respectively, the US Coast Guard and a National Park Service Ranger will be guiding a walking tour of the beautiful Boston lighthouses. Spanning from Boston Harbor to Little Brewster Island, you’ll experience the best views that the Boston Harbor Islands National Park has to offer—tickets are $41. Sign up here today!
Eat
Get your grub on! Dine Out Boston is back for its highly anticipated summer series, August 16-21st and 23-28th. Perfect for a romantic date night or lunch with friends, the carefully curated menus found at the most sought-after restaurants in the city will not disappoint. Choose from three-course prix fixe menus chalk full with delectable options from some of Southie’s top dogs, such as Blue Dragon, M.C. Spiedo, Del Frisco’s, and Bastille Kitchen to name a few. We recommend stopping by Blue Dragon to try some of their famous dim sum! Check out the full list of participating restaurants here.
Celebrate
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the tropical breeze—of Boston Harbor, that is! This Saturday, August 22nd from 3-8pm, Downeast Cider House in Charlestown will be hosting a summer luau to finally celebrate everyone’s favorite season. Tickets are $25 if you wear your favorite Hawaiian shirt and include one free drink, an authentic pig roast, with veggie options for the vegetarians out there, live music, and an overall great time with some great people.
