I’m moving to Boston in a couple of days, is there anything you’d suggest putting on my list to see?

Hi! Sorry it took me so long to answer this, I just moved as well and as you may have experienced already, moving in the Boston area this time of year is hell. But now that I’m (mostly) physically and emotionally recovered from the chaos...

Welcome! There are tons of things to see and do in Boston. Bear in mind that some of these places might be closed or at limited capacity due to Covid, but as of September 2021 the city is mostly open—just don’t forget your mask if you’re going somewhere indoors!

Indoor:

Museum of Fine Arts Boston - My happy place! The MFA is huge and always has something new every time I visit. I recently went to their Monet exhibit and highly recommend it if you have a chance to see it before it ends in October.

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum - This is a smaller, more laid back, but just as lovely art museum with a rich and interesting history. There's a gorgeous courtyard in the center of it as well!

Museum of Science - Honestly super enjoyable for all ages! They also have a planetarium.

New England Aquarium - They have penguins. What’s not to love?

Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) - You might be sensing a pattern here. Yet another art museum! If you prefer contemporary art, this is the place to go.

The Mapparium - Located inside the Christian Science Plaza, this is a giant glass globe depicting a map from 1935 that you can go inside.

Trident Booksellers & Cafe - This place is my go-to for books, gifts, and occasionally brunch. They also host tons of fun events, like Skip The Small Talk, Rocky Horror Shadowcast performances, and even Speed Dating! I went to a Queer Lady Board Game Speed Dating/Friending event there and it was suuuuper fun.

Outdoor:

The Freedom Trail - This is a tour of historic landmarks around the city. You can follow the brick path on your own, or catch a tour, guided by a reenactor in historical costume.

Fenway Park - Even if you don't go for a game, you can take a tour of the park. Definitely would recommend if you're a sports fan.

The North End - Beautiful neighborhood for strolling around, lots of Italian restaurants and bakeries. Mike’s Pastry gets a lot of hype, but I prefer Bova’s Bakery. Bricco Panetteria also has fantastic bread if you can find it ;)

Haymarket - Speaking of food, there’s a pretty large open air produce market that happens on weekends. Gotta beat those expensive grocery store produce prices!

Boston Common & Boston Public Garden - The Common is the oldest public park in the United States! My favorite thing to do in this area is bring takeout from restaurants in nearby Chinatown and have a picnic.

Duck Tours - A fun way to get to know the city! They drive you through the streets of Boston and then into the water.

Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall - Pretty touristy, but honestly kind of a rite of passage.

Seaport - Another nice area to walk around, especially if you like the ocean and/or seafood. Also, it’s home to the Boston Tea Party Museum. I’ve never been, but it looks fun—they let you throw tea into the harbor.

Cambridge/Somerville - Please don’t pahk yah cah in Hahvahd Yahd, but feel free to stroll around Harvard Square! Davis Square is nice too

Newbury Street - A classic tbh. This street is where you’ll find the aforementioned Trident, along with the original Newbury Comics and plenty of other stores.

The Esplanade - This path stretches along the Charles River and is great for walking, jogging, and cycling at all times of the year. I once saw a dude on a bicycle take a little detour to ride on the frozen river. Gave me a mini heart attack but boy was it entertaining. There’s also the Hatch Shell, an outdoor concert venue. They’re all the rage these days!

Leaf Peeping - Keep this in mind for a few weeks from now! Within the city, Beacon Hill has some really nice places to walk around and enjoy fall foliage. If you wanna get out of the city for a nature walk, try driving or taking the Orange Line up to Middlesex Fells Reservation.

Well, that’s all I can think of for now! Sorry most of these suggestions were kinda touristy, but the majority of my time living here has been during the pandemic so I haven’t quite had the chance to explore off the beaten path yet. If any other Bostonians have ideas, drop ‘em in the notes!

If you’re planning a visit to Hershey and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the many excellent restaurants in the area.

Here are a few of my favorites restaurants in Harrisbug and Hershey, Pennsylvania. And if you’re looking for lodging suggestions, read on to the end!

1. Cafe 1500

I had an amazing brunch with friends at Cafe 1500, located in midtown Harrisburg. The delicious food was punctuated by a bright, bustling atmosphere, fantastic cocktails and excellent service.

We stared with mimosas – because how else would you begin brunch? – until a server passed with a tray of Bloody Marys. I’m not a Bloody Mary drinker, but I loved looking at it and my friends told me it was perfectly spicy and savory. When the food was served, we had a lot of variety at our table. I ordered the Egg BLAT: bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato with a fried egg and jalapeno aioli. It was fresh and tasty with a side of crispy hand-cut fries. I also sampled the Cafe 1500 Benedict, the creamy cheddar grits, the huevos rancheros, and the incredible french toast bread pudding bites with a bourbon-maple glaze. With tons of window light and an industrial-chic décor, Cafe 1500 is open for brunch, lunch and dinner. And I hear they have a great happy hour with some unique cocktails.

2. Tröegs Independent Brewing

Tröegs Independent Brewing is an experience, not just a restaurant. It’s a full production brewery where you can tour, taste, eat, and then shop at their General Store. There’s even a small art gallery to enjoy. Its large, open-industrial eating area is known as the “Tasting Room / Snack Bar.” At first glance, it seems like there’s low emphasis on the food. When you are seated, a server will come for your beer order, but you have to walk back to the snack bar to order your food. You’ll get a beeper so you can pick it up when it’s ready.

But “Snack Bar” is an understatement because the food here is rich and delicious. I had a crispy grilled cheese with a side of luscious tomato soup. Our table of friends ordered several snacks to share and I loved the Spicy Tempura Cauliflower. Their french fries with spicy ketchup were also outstanding. Tröegs offers several in-depth, guided tours of the brewery, or you can follow a self-guided tour path. I found the self-guided tour to be excellent and informative, with details painted playfully on the windows looking into the brewery. While this is a restaurant review, I do need to mention the beer at Tröegs is fantastic. They have so many unique offerings. Their “Scratch Beer” series offers a constantly changing variety of small-batch brews – their way of testing out some of their wildest dreams. If you like beer (even a little), don’t miss Tröegs Independent Brewing.

3. Harvest at The Hotel Hershey

Harvest is a beautiful restaurant with sweeping views and food inspired by local and regional ingredients. Family-friendly, but still perfect for a romantic evening, Harvest offers American cuisine kicked up a notch.

Take, for example, the potato skins. Not your average skins, but treated with braised beef short ribs, monterey jack cheese, and pickled onions. Combine those skins with a blackberry lemon mule cocktail, and I died and went to heaven. For my entree, I had the Pittsburgh Salad. This mesclun mix salad is topped with thin strips of skirt steak and shoestring french fries, and it’s an absolutely perfect meal. I have only seen this salad once before – in Pittsburgh – and I was happy to find it again at Harvest!

4. The Bears Den

Located in the Hershey Lodge, the Bears Den is a sports bar with a hockey-rink atmosphere in honor of the local Hershey Bears team. Sports fans will love the 28 HD TVs and one enormous 7′ x 12′ TV. The night we visited, my son parked himself right in front of that big screen so he could keep an eye on his fantasy football players. He was in heaven.

I was in heaven testing out some of the delicious chocolate martini recipes. It was hard to choose between options like the Frozen Chocolate Buzz Martini and the Hershey’s Special Dark Martini. Ultimately, the Peppermint Patty won out. It was fantastic.

The Bears Den offers classic American fare. Burgers, sandwiches, and salads dominate the menu. We gobbled down nachos for an appetizer and savored juicy burgers for dinner.

5. The Millworks

Located in midtown Harrisburg, The Millworks is a restaurant, brewery, and art space. Much of the interior has been built from reclaimed wood and brick, giving it a warm, historic vibe. Their menu changes seasonally and is largely based on what local farmers have to offer. I enjoyed my chicken sandwich lunch, but the real highlight was walking through the art galleries where local artists can be found creating and selling their work. You’ll find paintings, jewelry, soap and more.

The Millworks has a rooftop beirgarten, a great bar, and an outdoor courtyard when the weather is nice. I’m not a huge beer fan, but I loved their Cherry Berry Gose and bought some to take home.

6. Greystone Public House

The original stone building at Greystone Public House was built in 1798 by Godfrey Fritchey, one of Harrisburg’s earliest settlers. Fritchey designed the house to resemble his former home in Bavaria. In 1805, Fritchey obtained a liquor license to operate Fritchey Tavern.

While some of the smaller rooms characteristic of this type of tavern have been opened up to provide large spaces, the restaurant still keeps much of its history and feels like a “house.” My friends and I ate upstairs in a small room that gave us privacy and a very intimate feel.

The food at Greystone is excellent. My group shared raw oysters and a unique vegetable platter. My entree was a rich, tender braised short rib. For dessert I savored the Double Fudge Cast Iron Brownie with white chocolate peppermint ice cream.

Greystone Public House is open for lunch and dinner and also offer a Sunday brunch.

One thing I’ve noticed about eating in the Hershey-Harrisburg area is that almost every restaurant looks to local sources for their food. With such rich farming land all around, it’s so nice to know the chefs take advantage of it.

7. Char’s at Tracy Mansion

If you are looking for a cozy, intimate, incredible meal with your significant other or group of friends, Char’s Restaurant at Tracy Mansion is the place. For ambiance, Char’s gets 100% in my book. Tracy Mansion was built in 1913 and has been a home, a hospital, a mental health facility, and now a fine dining establishment. It is located on North Front Street in Harrisburg with beautiful views of the Susquehanna River. It’s many rooms – the bar, the gallery, the library, and the dining room – showcase the mansion’s beauty along with murals, sculpture art and Char’s handmade jewelry.

Again, my friends and I shared a variety of appetizers before our main entrees. Char’s General Tso Cauliflower with fried rice was one of my favorite bites of the weekend. I also enjoyed their pomme frites with truffle oil and roasted garlic aioli. For my entree, I had a bacon-wrapped beef entree that was so delicious, I didn’t even photograph it. And I don’t remember an exact description of what it was. Though that might have something to do with the two very strong lemon drop martinis I drank…

8. Bricco

My experience at Bricco in Harrisburg was out of the ordinary. Thanks to Visit Hershey & Harrisburg, my friends and I were treated to a chef’s table experience with six courses and wine pairings. Seated directly in front of the kitchen, we watched Chef Jared Upperman prepare and present six courses:

Madhouse oysters with smoked serrano butter

Boston Bibb lettuce with candied walnuts, apples, and gorgonzola cheese

Spinach, red pepper, and parmesan ravioli

Antarctic salmon with fennel, leek, and potato brodie

Sous vide lamb rack with cherry glaze, broccoli rabe and delicata squash

Candied walnuts, quince paste, and local cheese

Bricco was probably my favorite meal in Harrisburg. The food was exquisite. The spinach, red pepper and parmesan ravioli was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted and I wanted a huge bowl of it! My only disappointment was the final course. I really wanted to top that meal off with a sweet dessert that included chocolate.

You can reserve your Table at Bricco experience here. But if you’re just looking for a nice night out with fantastic Mediterranean-Italian cuisine (and I hear they make a mean pizza!), check out Bricco.

8. Hershey Lodge

The Hershey Lodge goes all-on on its chocolate theme. We were greeted with Hershey Kisses on our pillows and bedside table. In the bathroom, we found more Kisses on the wallpaper and imprinted in the soap. And the cocoa-infused shampoo, conditioner, and lotion made me feel like I was bathing in fudge – in a good way.

The lobby and huge fireplace provide a warm, rustic, lodge feeling. And there are several restaurants in the hotel, as well as activities for the kids Hershey Lodge is just minutes from Hershey attractions. We could see the Hersheypark roller coasters from our room! They also offer a free shuttle to help you get around town if you don’t want to drive.

9. Best Western Premier – The Central Hotel & Conference Center

The Best Western Premier Central is a good location if you’ll be visiting Hershey and Harrisburg. We had a suite with two queen beds, a king bed in a separate room, and a large bathroom/dressing area. It was a great size for my family of four and gave my two teenagers space to themselves.

The large lobby is nicely decorated and accented with Hershey Kisses. My family also enjoyed dinner and a great buffet breakfast at the attached restaurant, O’Reilly’s.

I do suggest requesting an outside room, though. Our suite overlooked the indoor pool and our room had a pretty strong chlorine smell.

10. Crowne Plaza Harrisburg

The Crowne Plaza Harrisburg is in a great downtown location. It’s within walking distance of the Susquehanna River, the State Capitol Complex and restaurants Bricco and Char’s. The hotel is also just a few minutes drive to The Millworks, Cafe 1500, Riverfront Park, and more.

I had a comfortable, quiet room and enjoyed the Starbucks in the lobby.

These restaurant and hotel suggestions should help you get started on planning your own visit to Hershey-Harrisburg.

#20: North End

Yup, this is a library with a punctuation-themed mosaic set in the sidewalk out front. I KNOW.

Travel notes: The North End library is about six miles from home. We took the red line to Park and walked, though Haymarket is a bit closer. (The red line was sort of a mess because of bus shuttles between Park and Kendall, which shouldn’t have affected our trip at all, but tell that to a screaming baby sitting at Ashmont for an extra ten minutes with the doors closed.)

Teresa’s rating: Continental. This charming, vintage (1965) library is “modeled on a Roman villa,” with a sunny indoor “courtyard,” a bas-relief of Dante, and brickwork and dark wood. It felt a bit like an old-school North End cafe.

Reese’s rating: 14/10. Nice selection of board books, and the beanbags and magnetic alphabet easel in the sectioned-off young kids’ area were a hit. Cannot recommend the alligator puppet.

Teresa’s book: Spark Joy, by Marie Kondo. I read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. It did not change my life (exhibit A: my house), and I agree with a lot of the criticism about the classist nature of minimalism. But I liked that in this book she admits that throwing away her screwdriver because it didn’t “spark joy” was a mistake, and also, my reading has not been going that well lately and this book is short and has pictures.

Reese’s books: I’d never really seen Reese react to something with fear, and this library had a bin full of puppets, including one of an alligator, so now I can say that I definitely have. Reese was NOT ABOUT the alligator puppet. Because I am more curious than I am a loving mother, I may have spent some time testing the boundaries of that rather than immediately putting the puppet away. So in commemoration of that and of Reese’s recent measles and mumps vaccine, we got The Lady with the Alligator Purse, and also Miss Mary Mack, by the same author and illustrator.

Nearby attractions: The library is right off the main touristy streets of the North End (Hanover Street and Salem Street), so the full range of cafe and cannoli options were at our disposal. Assuming that a bakery down a narrow alley must be good, we got an apricot pastry at Bricco Panetteria and ate it on a bench on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. I think it’s finally spring.
