This chic hotel was a functioning prison until the 1990s, and they've retained some of the original architecture. If you're in the neighborhood, take a quick look inside or stay for a drink!

Food Scene
Flour is a Boston landmark - and they recently opened a location just a few blocks from my apartment. I highly recommend the BLT, breakfast sandwich, and homemade oreos. They also sell pizza dough!

Jugos is a juice & smoothie shop located inside the Back Bay (orange line/Amtrak) train station. They also serve acai (the brazilian antioxidant-packed berry sorbet) - I recommend you try "Pura Vida."
