Thanks Jenny for the fine hospitality. Your place was perfect for us. While one of us attended a conference at Royal Sonesta the other played the part of a tourist. The Boston Commons, Esplanade, Bunker Hill, USS Constitution, Faneuil Hall, MIT, and the conference were well within walking distance. The immediate neighborhood had plenty of historical sites and very enjoyable restaurants to enjoy. We ate at Skampa, Portagulia, Delfina, Similan, and Curio Coffee. Loyal Nine looked interesting but we only tried their pour over coffee. Loyal Nine appears to let patrons find out for themselves the significance of the name. Galleria Umberto on Hanover was wonderfully rustic with counter service at its best although Skampa is close runner up. How many steps to the top of Bunker Hill Monument? 294, enough for a couple days worth of sore legs. We had a very enjoyable visit to an interesting and diverse area, thanks again Jenny.
