The warm weather has kicked into full gear, which means it’s about to get pretty busy for Boston restaurants with patios. Since there are so many al fresco options to check out around the city, we’ve put together a handy guide to a few you definitely need to check out this summer.
Boston restaurants with patios
Anthem Kitchen + Bar
The historic Faneuil Hall may be a bit of tourist trap, but it’s still a pretty great area to grab a bite. Enjoy a few sips and snacks on the patio at Anthem Kitchen + Bar as you watch all the non-locals try to figure out where they’re going.
