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.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
