1168 Folsom St (btwn 8th & Rausch), San Francisco, CA
Beer Store · SoMa · 113 tips and reviews
Al S: This place is a beer geek's Mecca. Have a beer on draft and then stock up unique brews for home. Tell one of the bartenders a style you like and ask for recommendations. You won't regret it. I promise
Garden · Fenway - Kenmore - Audubon Circle - Longwood · 15 tips and reviews
Al S: Best time to visit the Victory Gardens is the start of spring, as everything is blooming and coming back to life. It only lasts a couple of weeks, at most, but it's a special time.
Commonwealth Ave. (btwn Arlington St. & Mass Ave.), Boston, MA
Park · Back Bay East · 26 tips and reviews
Al S: The end of the Mall nearest Kenmore Sq is often empty in the morning, and it's a great place to sit with a cup of coffee and a good book to start the day.
9 Arlington St (btwn Beacon & Boylston St), Boston, MA
Garden · Beacon Hill · 199 tips and reviews
Al S: Some of the most beautiful and picturesque scenery in all of Boston, especially in winter and spring. Check out the Ducklings, the Japanese Lantern, the main bridge and the Good Will Hunting bench.
Monument · Thompson Square - Bunker Hill · 101 tips and reviews
Al S: Climb the monument. It can be a bit of a workout, but just take your time and stop when you have to. It's a great experience and the views from the top are awesome.
Al S: Great new craft beer bar in a 'hood that really needs one. Margherita pizza is simple and very well done. Eat one with a Trillium brew. Fort Point Pale Ale if they have it. Yep.
12 Farnsworth St Fl 1 (at Congress St), Boston, MA
Bakery · Seaport District · 185 tips and reviews
Al S: Literally everything they make here is worth trying. Brioche au chocolate is a real standout though. Everything is delicious...but nothing is cheap. This is one pricey bakery.
Al S: Line gets quite long here but it moves quick and the baristas are fairly efficient. Great espresso drinks. Grab one and go chill in the Ace lobby, if you can find a seat.
