So I know this was talked about before on TN but I refuse to go back and look at those old threads.
I'll be going to NYC for 3 days, Boston for 2 days and then Maine towards the end of June. What are your recs for places to see/restaurants/etc while in NYC and Boston. I already know I want to go to the Highline in NYC and do a duck tour in Boston but that's about it.
Dinner (Italian) in the North End in Boston. Walk the Freedom Trail, you can do as much or as little of it as you want.
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes to dinner in Boston's North End. Believe it or not, it is actually hard to find truly good Italian food easily in NYC. Some of my favorite places in the North End are Giacomo's and The Daily Catch. Get a cannoli from Modern Pastry or Mike's.
It's harder to make NYC reco's without knowing your personal interests, but you're right about the Highline. I don't know anyone who hasn't enjoyed that.
