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.

    • Is Dell Autos closing down completely or just moving? For whatever it's worth, for MOTs I've had good recent experience with The Test Centre in Deptford. They only do MOTs so they don't have any particular incentive to fail you and they usually have same day appointments. Open 7 days a week and late. https://www.thetestcentre.co.uk/our-test-centres/deptford-branch/ Obviously you would still need a "normal" garage to do servicing and repairs etc.
    • So what is the issue? You want compensation for the loss of value, or you want to expedite the matter?
    • No. What happened? I actually thought, considering it was what we used to call Guy Fawkes Day last night, the loud noises from  fireworks ended remarkably early. About 9pm? Maybe I just fell asleep and didn't hear any later ones. Do people actually burn Guys any more? Apart from at places like Lewes, where I believe they still have Bonfire Societies and burn effigies of various political figures etc.
    • The accompaniment to our "Christmas Pudding" aka Nothing-Whatever-Like-A- Christmas-Pudding last year  at The Cherry Tree was "brandy butter ice-cream." If it had ever been near any brandy, the brandy must have been waved in its direction from a very great distance. Same with butter. The ice cream tasted like bog standard "vanilla" from a catering tub. At least it did bear some resemblance to ice cream. Whereas the "Christmas Pudding" bore no resemblance whatever to any Christmas Pudding I have ever seen or tasted in my many  decades of seeing and tasting Christmas Puddings. Oh, and Cinzano Bianco. Bleurgh. My sister used to drink that. 🤢
