Hi again! It’s me, Kazuki, and I’m back already with another ‘3 of the best in Boston’. This time I have three of my personal favorites. When I go back to Japan, these three places will be some of my fondest memories. If you’re thinking about Learning English Abroad, maybe these three places will help you decide that Boston is the best city for you!
Charles River Esplanade
This is the largest river in Boston. From some bridges like Harvard bridge and Longfellow bridge, you can watch the magnificent landscape. At the river, there are some activities. On July 4th, for example, it’s Independence Day so Boston’s finest fireworks display is held here. I went, and I had an absolutely fantastic time. Also, you can ride a canoe or kayak if the weather is good.
Skywalk Observatory
This is an observation deck on the 50th floor of the Prudential Tower, which is the highest building in Boston. When you arrive at the top of the building, you can overlook the whole city of Boston — all those other incredible sights in Boston, you can see them from 50 stories high! At the base of Prudential Tower, there is the Prudential Center. This is a shopping center and you can find many popular brands like Ralph Lauren, Canada Goose and Under Armor.
Union Oyster House
This is a restaurant, but it’s not just any restaurant! It’s said that this was born in 1826 and previous American president, John F Kennedy, had visited here and a booth called “Kennedy booth” was made for him. Oh, and don’t forget, it’s the oldest restaurant in America. The single oldest one! Therefore, this is another very historical site to see in Boston. You can enjoy seafoods like lobster, oyster and salmon. Next to the restaurant, there is a gift shop so you can buy various gifts related to oyster and lobster.
