boston fever

The annual baseball trip my dad and I take each year is just around the corner! Next stop on our unofficial tour of Major League baseball stadiums is at Fenway Park in Boston. Of course we will not be sitting on the home team's side OR supporting them. The O's will be in town, so of course we'll be sporting our orange and black paraphernalia. The tickets have been purchased, the plane tickets are booked, now the fun part. Planning what we're going to do and where we'll be eating. Local fare and brew is the menu of choice. Know of any awesome places to eat or grab a beer? This isn't a fancy trip, we go to relax, watch baseball and take in the city. I don't know if we can top last year's trip to Baltimore, but nonetheless we'll have a ball. No pun intended.

After looking over several restaurants and places online this is my list of restaurants. Basically it consists of seafood, seafood, and seafood.

According to the Best of Boston 2010,

• best cup of chowder is from Legal Seafoods
• best fried clams are from Summer Shack, which we will definitely be going to. The pictures remind me of Flying Fish in Little Rock
• best raw bar is at Neptune Oyster - I'm thinking we'll have a late dinner here on Sunday night
• best waterfront bar is the Barking Crab, and the attire is jeans, tshirts, and flipflops. Right up my alley, especially after a flight. And they have a great menu. I'm thinking late lunch/snack on Sunday
• The best lobster roll is from Belle Island Seafood and was highly recommended on Yelp.

Been to or heard of any other great restaurants in Boston? We've never been and will tackling it next month!
