Let's blog about the Waterfront/Fort Point Channel area, shall we?

So, this is the upcoming spot, right? I mean, if you got half a mil to drop, this is the place to buy a condo. :)

With that, let's take a look at what's around, shall we? I'll start with places to eat, cause you can tell this Boston gal loves food.

Legal Test Kitchen - A great seafood spot with wifi and ipod docks so you can listen to Miley Cyrus all you want...oh, maybe I just want to do that. :) Martinis are great here, and reasonably priced at around $8.75. This restaurant is brought to you buy the folks behind Legal Seafoods, so you'll be sure to love it. A great place for dinner before a BOA pavilion concert.

Flour Bakery - Hands down one of my favorite places to eat in Boston. Flour originally (and still is!) opened on Washington St in the South End, and now opened a larger venue on Farnsworth St. Same menu, same awesome food. Like the lamb sandwich with chutney and goat cheese, chocolate hazelnut desserts and berry bread pudding. Oh, I'm drooling at the idea.

Lucky's - This is a great bar. Good food, great vibe, good music, cute people. Well at least men. :) They offer Sinatra brunches.

Somewhere to go & eat:

ICA
- Institute of Contemporary Art, folks. It's an architecture beauty, as floors make you feel like you are walkin' on water, or at least on a boat. Wonderful views of the City and the airport. Unfortunately, for us art aficionados, there is only one floor of actual art - the museum is mostly a cafe, theater and media lab. I bet it's beautiful to see a dance troupe perform there. For now, I'll hit it up on Thursday nights at 4pm, when it's free!

Achilles Project - Part store for men & women's apparel, part new restaurant. It's a girl's dream...and some men, too. :) I'll have a full review on this hot spot soon, but if the flashin' lights have any signal, this is soon too to be a favorite place.

Other things to do:

Just walk around! Friends for Fort Point Channel have a 1-hour walking audio tour.

Explore the artists! This 'hood used to be known for its artists lofts, not steel framed buildings. Check them out. They are a whole community in a community.

Check out the Harbor Walk. Use it and abuse it people. The harbor walk is one of the City's most untapped resources.

Other spots:
Harpoon Brewery, Bank of America Pavilion, BCAC & hotels...too many to list.

See you at Flour folks. First, I have to go find that random office building where Leo Dicaprio is filming...that's a story for another time. ;)
