New York, Boston, Cape Cod, Washington - any recommendations?


Recommended Posts

We've got our honeymoon coming up and whilst we've got our accommodation sorted, we're still after recommendations for restaurants, bars, things to see in the above destinations.


We've got 6 nights in New York, 3 in Washington, 3 in Boston, 3 in Cape Cod and then 2 back in New York before flying home.


Look forward to hearing from you.

For Washington - there are loads of great free museums and art galleries along the Mall, along with the monuments - definitely worth a visit.

If you want shopping/nice restaurants Georgetown is lovely.

I would also definitely recommend brunch at the Tabard Inn which is a Washington institution - very cosy with a nice bar area around a fire if you fancy a glass of something beforehand.

In New York, a helicopter tour from the downtown heliport. I've been to NY plenty of times but my husband booked it as part of a wedding anniversary trip. It was amazing. We had good weather but it would have been fun whatever. Definitely worth doing for a special trip and worth the money.


In Washington, as part of a wander through Memorial Park to sights like the Lincoln Memorial, take the time to walk all round the (circular)Washington War Memorial. Pick one exhibit at the Smithsonian (or you'll be there all day and get museum overload) and go to Ben's Chilli Bowl on U Street.

Amazing, we did a similar route for our honeymoon in 2012....


Whale watching off Provincetown in Cape Cod.


A ball game at Fenway Park in Boston - great atmosphere / iconic even if you don't understand the rules!


Spotted Pig in NYC.


Burgers....pretty much anywhere


All of it will be great, enjoy.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
