I will be in Boston later this year for business and extended my trip to turn it into a mini-vacation. Interested in grabbing food / drinks with other professionals. I’ve worked at multiple PE portcos in strategy and finance. I’ll be staying in the waterfront and then moving to Back Bay for the latter half of my trip if anyone has some recommendations for stuff to do. Plan on hitting Fenway, Freedom Trail, and as much clam chowder as I can. Can’t post to off topic as new, but I used to be active on WSO under another account. Don’t want my office to know my old account. Also know people from my office will see this and know who I am, so hey you fuckers.

Hit the north end for some good Italian dinners and make sure you look at the reviews. Lots of overrated places that have shit service and shit food. After dinner walk over to Cafe Vittoria for some tiramisu and hard coffee drinks, no reservations just ask for a table and try to get the first one, it gets packed.
Back bay is honestly my favorite spot, always packed with places to go out. Stay away from anything west of Back Bay like the Fenway area, it’s filled with either drunk college kids or blackout 40yo bums. Stay in back bay the police are top tier and do their jobs well. Go to Lolita for drinks and food - you won’t regret it, the scene is lively. There’s a small speakeasy inside a restaurant Faccia a Faccia called Bar Pallino, just walk in and ask for it. It’s down some stairs and packed with people, always a fun setting. Or try Hecate if you’re feeling perilous, the entrance is in a shitass alley with a hidden door on the side of a building. Go there if you feel like dancing with the devil, could be fun you never know.
If you want a change of scenery then go to Seaport, it’s the most fun you could probably find. Lolita, bars, and a ton of bar gaming - and not the college type. Everyone in seaport are working professionals, it’s the most high end district of Boston. Try the rooftop bars and the waterfront restaurants, always a hit and never misses. Overall great place for a great time, stupid expensive but worth every dime. Have fun, cheers.
Can you tell it’s my first time getting asked what to do in Boston lol. I feel honored bro
