Guidebook for Boston
Food Scene
This restaurant is a very convenient walk from the condo. They specialize in wood fired pizzas and have a great selection of wine & beer. If you prefer to do take-out, they are very fast! 4-minute walk (Google maps will easily direct you here but there is an even more direct route. There is an elementary school across the street with a large staircase leading to a parking lot that you can cut through. The restaurant will be just on the other side of the road.)

Flour is not in Charlestown but it is certainly worth a visit! There are several locations in Boston and Cambridge; if you are near one I strongly recommend stopping in for a sticky bun. The baked goods are amazing and they also offer a great selection of lunch sandwiches. The woman who opened it is a local sweetheart and a local favorite (Joanne Chang).

Beautiful greenway along the Charles River. Lots of locals will come here just to hang out. If you're using Hubway or renting bikes anywhere, this is great for biking. You can also rent kayaks and sailboats along the Charles River.
