Outdoor Ideas

While Boston is subject to cold, oftentimes dreary New England weather six months of the year, it has an enviable spring and summertime climate. And when the weather heats up, the nightlife goes outside. Here are a few suggestions:

- Newbury Street is perfect for sipping martinis on the patio on a warm summer night.
- Some bars without patios, such as The Rattlesnake on Boylston Street, open their rooftops during sandal weather.
- Tia's on the Waterfront has an outdoor bar and a prime waterfront location. Nearby is Joe's American Bar & Grill on the Waterfront.
- Take a walk through the North End – Boston's Little Italy - and you will happen upon many restaurants with open floor-to-ceiling windows and some with rooftop dining.
