Word of Mouth: Boston Seaport
Playful outdoor art, top-tier breweries and accommodations with a view, in the waterside neighborhood
The Boston Seaport District, simply referred to as the Seaport, is often called the city’s newest neighborhood. This alludes to more than the fact that the district continues to welcome start-ups and develop residential space; it means that there’s a visible influx of energy and excitement, outdoor art and culinary exploration. In the art world, the Seaport may primarily be known as the home of the Diller Scofidio + Renfro-designed Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, but a stroll through the neighborhood (amidst a steady flow of locals jogging or sitting upon the ample waterfront bench-space) reveals so much more: Frank Stella’s largest public installation, a Jon Burgerman pop-up and the sculptures of Okuda included.
Trillium Fort Point
Of all the breweries in Boston, the Trillium Brewing Company—and their spacious Fort Point location in the Seaport—truly offers an exemplary experience. The brand was founded as a “New England farmhouse brewery” in the neighborhood back in 2013 and their goal to utilize local ingredients whenever possible remains the same. From the tap room to the rooftop and front garden, the venue welcome guests to try their wide range of delectable beers.
Flour Bakery + Café
There are three Flour Bakery + Café locations in Boston and we’ve included the Seaport destination because of chef Joanne Chang‘s delectable, dynamic menu. Although there is seating, it’s quite easy to order and then wander over to the waterfront seating. That’s what we did, not only after a breakfast but also after swinging by Cardullo’s Gourmet Shoppe to pick up picnic components for lunch. Any fan of rare wines and spirits will be rather surprised to see what’s on the shelves of Cardullo’s, along with an international medley of delicacies.
