The Eliot Hotel in Boston's Back Bay was home to my recent staycation. There's something so great about staying in new surroundings in your hometown. For me, it reignites the mystery and adventure and it makes me want to re-explore familiar neighborhoods.
For a foodie like me, The Eliot is one of the best hotel choices in the city. With UNI next door, and countless restaurants, cafes, and bistros steps from the hotel, The Eliot will help you eat your way through the city.
There's nothing like a good staycation. It gives you an excuse to stay in a new neighborhood, explore your hometown, and eat in a restaurant you haven't tried yet. So a couple weeks ago, I did just that. I packed my bags and treated myself to the Ames Hotel's #FindYourBoston foodie package.
B&G Oysters is hands-down my favorite patio in Boston. Located in the South End, B&G is cozy, vine-covered and not noisy. It's heaven. I also think it's one of the best raw bars in the city.
Brunch at Island Creek Oyster Bar has everything - homemade breads and pastries, burgers, and lobster rolls. And coffee, and waffles, and fried oyster sliders. Located in Kenmore Square, and born from their Duxbury oyster farm, Island Creek Oyster bar is not only an iconic Boston brand, but also a seriously amazing place for brunch.
Walking up to the entrance of No. 284 is like walking up to most brownstones in Boston. Except what lies beyond the buzzer of the front door is an exceptionally curated modern art collection.
Anywhere you set foot on the property there's something to admire. The rich blue walls, ornate crystal chandeliers, stacks of art books.
