Each Tuesday, Take Me There brings you the best trip planning content for the places we love most. You might think you know Boston, but the City of Champions is more than just cobbled streets, historic plaques on every corner, and annoyingly good sports teams. You might come to Boston for its storied Freedom Trail and perhaps even more iconic Fenway Park, but you’ll stay for its sneakily excellent culinary scene, rocking live music venues, and rooftop bars that give New York City a run for its money. Throw one back in style on the deck of [Envoy]( a trendy rooftop bar with panoramic views of the city skyline, or leave your sense of class at the door and crush greasy pizza slices in the North End. Whether you’re eating, drinking, cheering the Sox or dancing the night away, there’s always fun to be had in Boston. Let’s dive in. BOSTON [Matador's Ultimate Guide to Boston]( Steeped in history, rich in culture, and brimming with energy and diversity, Boston dishes up both vintage and newfangled charm. Historical landmarks dating to the first English settlers in 1630 stand alongside modern buildings of glass and steel. Immigrants helped build and still enrich Boston’s many neighborhoods while students at its world-class universities infuse the city with zest, creativity, and talent. Superb local ingredients, like seafood from icy New England waters, form the backbone of many restaurant menus. Add a serious beer scene, hip cocktail bars, and a bounty of cafes, and there’s no shortage of fuel to power a spin through Boston — a city brimming with superb museums, stellar sports teams, and super friendly locals.
