Boston's Best Brews With A View
There is no doubt about it: Boston is one of the most beautiful cities in the United States. The city features elegant, historical architecture, picturesque cobblestone streets, a clean blue harbor, and a distinct skyline. The downside, of course, is that Boston is bitter cold and covered in grey tinted city snow for five months of the year. The limited window to enjoy Boston's unadulterated beauty makes the following bars and restaurants popular destinations - especially in the fall, when people are the more motivated than ever to make the most of the good weather.

Drinking beers and cocktails in skyscrapers or on the water aren't the only ways to enjoy Boston's best views. In fact, some of the most picturesque scenes in the city are on land right at eye level.
