id you know that the country’s oldest public park, Boston Common, is part of a nearly seven-mile chain of parks? Or that of the nine parks that make up The Emerald Necklace, six were designed by the same man who was behind New York’s Central Park— Frederick Law Olmsted? There is so much to discover when it comes to Boston’s green spaces—and the best way is by foot. But before you slip on those shoes, check out our Walk This Way feature on the Esplanade, The Greenway and other spaces that deliver serenity in the city.

Given the gorgeous weather, we expect when it comes time to fuel up, you’ll still want to be outdoors and, perhaps, even near the water.

That’s where Let’s Go Alfresco comes in, with the hottest restaurants.

As for things to do, take your pick from Pride Week celebrations and the Dragon Boat Festival to a Cirque du Soleil extravaganza, Hugh Jackman’s one-man show, or Beacon Hill Art Walk. There are plenty of other events to choose from, too.

Our neighborhood spotlight shines on The South End, with its pleasing mix of terrific music, gifts that go beyond cliches and a non-profit store that empowers youth.

Time to get going, there’s a city waiting to be explored.

BOSTON

The Greenway is a wonderland of craft beer popups, amazing public art and special events.

Boston owns a whole bunch of nicknames, some more popular than others—from the braggadocio Hub of the Universe to the locally unloved Beantown—but a consensus of approval clings to our favorite: America’s Walking City. There’s nothing that a curious mind and a stout pair of sneakers can’t discover on both sides of the Charles River, and any given route offers a surplus of watering holes and eateries, should you need to stop and recharge your batteries. MIKE HODGKINSON

T

he most famous walking route through the city is The Freedom Trail, dedicated in 1951. The easy-to-follow 2.5-mile red line connects a series of historic sites and national treasures, including Faneuil Hall and The Paul Revere House. You can either arrange your own city ramble from the Common to Bunker Hill via the North End and Charlestown Bridge, or take advantage of the many guided tours offered by www.thefreedomtrail.org, whose experts dress up in historically authentic outfits.

A side expedition through Beacon Hill along the Black Heritage Trail is highly recommended.

The Common itself, and its beautifully cultivated neighbor, the Public Garden, should also be visited any day the sun has got his hat on. The Swan Boats on the Public Garden lagoon have been gliding

serenely through idle summer days since 1877, and make a great change of pace, while the Frog Pond—defrosted from its winter duty as an ice rink—is the ideal spot to ease tired feet while the kids give themselves a thorough soaking. The Common also marks the eastern end of the Emerald Necklace park system: Check out the map (www.emeraldnecklace. org) to see its full extent, all the way to Franklin Park.

Looping round the Financial District from Chinatown to the North End, following the ghost of the now demolished elevated roadway, is The Greenway (www.rosekennedygreenway. org). More than just a modern city park, this marvelous strolling zone is a wonderland of craft beer pop-ups, amazing public art and special events, from Greenway Gala to Glow in the Park.

From here, it’s an easy stroll towards the river, where you can pick up The Esplanade (www. esplanade.org), a 3-mile waterfront park on the Boston side of the Charles, via several footbridges over Storrow Drive.

Let’s Go Alfresco

In a city where winter hits like an ice hammer, it makes perfect sense to enjoy the warmer months to the max—which is why Boston has no dearth of options when it comes to patio dining. Whether you favor a waterside deck, a brick-lined courtyard or a people-watching street spot, Boston has no end of fantastic alfresco options. Here are some of our favorites. MIKE HODGKINSON 2

LOCAL FAVORITES

Mare Oyster Bar is a best-kept secret among North End residents who want to duck off the beaten path and enjoy crudo in a patio-lounge setting. Over in Harvard Square, The Hourly Oyster House supplements its undying charm with a delightful, brick-lined patio that comes into its own on warm, romantic summer evenings.

WHAT’S NEW

The Longfellow Bar at Alden & Harlow recently landed as the newest venture from renowned chef and restaurateur Michael Scelfo. The small but perfectly formed rooftop patio overlooks Harvard Square. Ideally placed in the West End, with a view of the iconic Zakim Bridge, the patio at Alcove seats 24 and makes an ideal gathering spot before a game or a gig at TD Garden.

HOT SPOT, COOL VIBES

Lolita Fort Point opens up to the water for the summer so that its rock ‘n’ roll clientele can cool off with a frozen margarita or two.

Tented shack The Barking Crab, also in Fort Point, is one of those rare joints that started hot, back in 1994, and never cooled off. The restaurant’s ramshackle charm and prime waterside location do the trick every time.

TABLE WITH A VIEW

Legal Sea Foods is an iconic name in Boston dining, and Legal Harborside, its flagship restaurant, is a perennial winner that is spread over multiple levels. The dockside views from its A-list Seaport District location are nothing less than stunning. If you head over to Charlestown to check out the historic ship, the USS Constitution, book a table on the roof deck at nearby Pier 6 for priceless views back over the water toward the Downtown skyline.
