The Courtyard Restaurant
Adjacent to the Boston Public Library’s courtyard, this eatery offers lunch and afternoon tea in one of the city’s most unique settings.

Dine on the roof deck (pictured) of this South Boston hot spot, which features an Airstream trailer that has been converted into a bar. Diners can also sup on Coppersmith’s internationally influenced comfort food on a street-level patio.

Durgin-Park
One of Boston’s oldest restaurants is also an ideal spot to park yourself at an outdoor table for prime Faneuil Hall Marketplace people-watching. And the menu of classic New England fare is a crowd-pleaser as well.
