A Perfect Spring Day in the Seaport: What to Do Before & After Your Meal

Spring in Boston’s Seaport is a whole vibe—sunshine dancing off the harbor, sea breezes swirling through modern architecture, and a buzz of energy in the air. Whether you're planning a leisurely lunch or a sunset dinner at our waterfront restaurant, we’ve curated a guide to help you make the most of your day in the neighborhood—no extra reservations needed.
Start the Day with a Waterfront Stroll
Ease into the day with a walk along the Harborwalk, the scenic pedestrian path that wraps around the edge of the Seaport. It’s the perfect spot to take in the skyline, people-watch, and snap a few photos of the harbor. If you're early enough, you might catch the sun glinting off the boats and the sound of gulls overhead—a peaceful prelude to your meal.
Immerse Yourself in Art & Innovation
Just a short walk away, the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) is a must-visit. With its striking architecture and ever-changing exhibits, the ICA is a great way to soak in some creative energy before or after your meal. Don’t miss the glass-walled gallery that hangs over the water—it’s one of the most unique viewpoints in the city.
Soak Up the Green at Martin’s Park
If you're visiting with family or just want a sunny patch of grass to relax on, Martin’s Park is a charming waterfront park next to the Children’s Museum. Thoughtfully designed with lush landscaping, wooden walkways, and harbor views, it’s a quiet place to take a breather, enjoy a book, or just let the kids explore a bit.
Catch a Public Art Moment
The Seaport is sprinkled with public art—murals, sculptures, and installations that bring bursts of color and inspiration to the streets. From the playful “Seaport Steps” to the thought-provoking installations near Fan Pier, take a little extra time to explore the neighborhood’s artistic side on foot. It's a great way to work up an appetite or take a relaxed digestif walk post-meal.
Explore the Green Spaces at Fan Pier Park
Fan Pier Park offers a front-row seat to the harbor with wide-open lawns, shaded benches, and sweeping views of the skyline. It’s one of our favorite places to pause, reflect, and just breathe in the salt air. It also happens to be a gorgeous spot to catch the golden hour if you're dining with us in the evening.
Make It a Full Seaport Experience
Whether you're here for brunch, lunch, or dinner, our neighborhood offers so much more than just incredible waterfront views (though we think those are pretty great too). From art and architecture to serene green spaces and harbor walks, a day in the Seaport is best enjoyed at your own pace—with good company and great food to anchor it all.
We hope to see you soon—windows open, waterfront breeze, and your table waiting.
