Best Pizza in Boston

There are only a few places where you find people waiting in line outside a building for over half an hour. The best pizza place in Boston is definitely one of them!

Regina Pizzeria is a traditional family business which offers brick oven pizza since 1926. The Polcari family established its first pizzeria in the North End where you can see every day the waiting queue on the pavement. It also offers traditional Italian cuisine.

Nevertheless, the pizza is the best you can find in the whole Boston Area. Every pizza has a delicious self made crust and is covered with lots of fresh vegetables and meat. Old perfected recipes, no preservatives... You really taste the difference.

Regina Pizzeria also has a delivering service and lots of locations in New England. Another location in Downtown Boston where the waiting line is much shorter is Faneuil Hall where also the huge christmas tree lighting ceremony took place a couple of weeks ago.

Be careful if you order the pizza size. Even a small pizza is huge!

If you still have to be convinced, see the reviews at Pizzeria Regina on Urbanspoon

Go for a Duck Tour!

Don´t you have much time? Are you annoyed of exhausting tourist activities? But still, you would like to see something special of Boston.

Then, go for a Duck Tour. This unique tour in a second world war amphibian vehicle gives you a great overview of Boston. During a cheerful tour, you will hear some historic details but also see movie sceneries like the ones in "The Departed" or "Boston Legal."


Besides, this vehicle doesn´t only drive on land. It can even move on water. As soon as the vehicle hits the Charles River, raise your hand and you will be one of the few who gets the chance to drive the vehicle on water.


This was one of the best guided tours I´ve ever had.

This weekend, the weather will be nice again. So, if you have to catch up with some Boston details, go for a Boston Duck Tour.

The Dark Side of Boston

Most Bostonians are unaware of the darker side of Boston's oldest neighborhood, The North End. Tourists are rarely ever informed of the misery, misfortune, and murder based on the true historical events that once occurred in this city. Discover the Dark Side of Boston on this guided walking tour that features topics of: crime, disease, death and disaster.

Tours are given every Saturday evening this month beginning at 5:30 PM. Make sure to arrive 10 minutes early and be prepared to pay your guide in cash. Tickets are $12 for adults and free for Boston By Foot members. Meet your guide at the corner of Hanover & Cross Streets, across from the Greenway. This is a great way to tour Boston and learn something new. Definitely take advantage of this low cost opportunity by exploring something different this fall!

Please visit the Boston By Foot website for additional info on this tour. Also, check out the Complete Calendar of various other Boston tours and special events offered until the end of October.

Enjoy the last warm days

Sometimes, work is overwhelming and you are longing for a short trip outside the intense city life. As long as it is still warm, Cape Cod offers a great place to flee from work and stress.

Do you like boat tours? Then take the fast ferry leaving from the Aquarium and head to Provincetown in 90 minutes. Lean back and enjoy the great view of Boston´s skyline. Don´t forget your $10 discount as a student.

Provincetown is a very nice and idyllic harbor town. In summer, it is packed but from September on, it is a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful landscape.

First, you should go to the Pilgrim Monument to get an overview and enjoy an amazing view of the town and all the surrounding beaches.

If you look for some sports activities, you may explore the beaches and sand dunes by a rented bike.

Lots of bars and restaurants are located on the commercial street. If you stay over night in a bed and breakfast place, go to one of the very diverse bars and enjoy the lively atmosphere.

Have you ever eaten lobster before? If not, you can try it here. Near by the sea, you´ll find lots of sea food restaurants.

An amazing restaurant - also for vegans and vegetarians - is the South African restaurant Karookafe. Here, you´ll get great and fairly priced food and beer in a South African atmosphere.

So, until the middle of October the ferries are still running. Take a day off and enjoy the last warm and sunny weekends until fall finally arrives.

Tell us about your experience there!
