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.

    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
    • You know that the top 1% of earners pay 30% of all total tax in the UK right? If they leave who picks up the tax slack? This is an inconvenient truth ignored by many. This is why Labour did a u-turn on non-doms because they started leaving and left the Treasury with a growing tax hole to fill.
