A Taste of Boston's Heritage










PRICE PER PERSON FROM - $695
Begin your culinary adventure by checking into lovely accommodations at the Eliot Hotel on historic Beacon Hill, well located for sightseeing and just a stone’s throw from Boston’s beautiful Public Garden. Dinner is on your own—take this opportunity to visit the Back Bay, Chinatown, the Financial District or fashionable Newbury Street.
In the morning, take a culinary tour of the North End, sampling Italian specialites, and learning about the best stores and restaurants in this charming section of town. If you have room for lunch, you can circle back to one of the many cafes you passed on your tour or head over to Faneuil Hall for a bite. Walk off your lunch by tackling the Freedom Trail, a fascinating collection of museums, churches and markers that recount the story of the American Revolution. Just follow the red stripe on the sidewalk as it winds its way through the city.
Dinner will be a marvelous bistro, a well-regarded restaurant that has been at the top of every foodie’s list for more than two decades. The next morning, end your weekend with an incredible buffet brunch in a cozy restaurant in eclectic Cambridge. This is not your typical bacon and eggs fare—a vast selection of seasonal and contemporary dishes makes this meal a treat.
