While in Boston I got to take a short tour of outdoor dining of Boston's North End with Jonathan Berk, director of Patronicity. I had been seeing periodic evidence of cool parklets and al fresco dining here and there (in Cambridge & Sommerville especially) but nothing prepared me for what I would see in North End. New York City has lots of fantastic outdoor dining, but nowhere have I seen uninterrupted street dining like this! In some cases entire Avenues with 10 or 12 food establishments in a row. And really creative and lush spots. Check it out.
