Hi, I'm Jack Gately, a native Bostonian, that's right born right here in Boston.
I'm here to guide you on your visit to Boston and the surrounding area, if there is anything I can do to assist in your visit, leave a comment and I'd be glad to help.
We’re from Cincinnati. My wife travels to Boston several times a year for work. Went to my first game at Fenway a few years ago. We’re going back to catch a game next month. Can’t wait!!
I'm not a big baseball fan, but I do love to travel and explore new places. Thank you for taking me on an outing today! Been home sick for a year this month from extreme fatigue after having covid last February. Great to finally get out! Never ever hear much of anything about Boston. First video I've ever watched about Boston. Definitely enjoy the Boston accent. Would love to hear more of that! And see how much was the food inside?
We are so pumped to get to Fenway this year! If you’re staying near Revere Beach & If we use the T to get to Fenway, do we really need to ride the Blue Line and “get off at State Street, transfer to the Orange Line toward Forest Hills; then get off at Downtown Crossing, and follow signs for the Winter Street Concourse to Park St.” as the Red Sox’s site suggests, or can we just take the Blue to the Green? And can we reverse it to get to the hotel/car with just green-to-blue or do we have to do the Orange as well?
Thanks for the tips. Long time Jay's fan and the wife and I are going to fenway in August. I can't wait for this, it's been a lifelong dream to catch a game at that grand stadium!
Fyi to anyone that has not tried pastery in the north end. No preservitives in the pastery. Get there early. If you show up later in the day eat it. Places like parziales have been there since 1907.
My fav way is taking a water taxi. That way you don't have to go into the tunnel which smells of exhaust. I only fly with carry on luggage so it's never a problem. Boston is a beautiful city!
I doubt this guy is a "Native Bostonian" about as much from Boston as 'Boston Rob' who was from Canton MA which is not one of the neighborhoods of Boston. You're not a Bostonian just because your parents might have had you in a Boston Hospital or you went to college here. Did you go to BPS? Or one of the local parish schools? If you were not raised as a kid in the city, you are just from Massachusetts.
I'm going to Boston next week to see a game. I'm in G10, so I'll do my neck stretches. I'm looking forward to getting a hat, a souvenir soda, a Fenway frank, and taking in the atmosphere while crossing off something from the ol' bucket list. Fucking jazzed. Thanks for the tips!
Hahahaha... you are definitely NOT a native Bostonian. There is a train and a T in Boston. The train will take you outside Boston the T takes you within Boston. And we do not call it Fenway Park; it's just Fenway. Also, you missed the most epitomized part of a Red Sox game: Sweet Caroline: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I1F0vPd3XZ0.html
Thanks for the video, Jack. I am working in Boston a couple day of the week and have been trying to figure out how to get to Fenway. Growing up in northern NH we hardly ever went to Boston so I hadn't figured out how to get to Fenway from South Station. I am working right on Summer street so thanks for telling me which train to take.
I love this video. I am working at 245 Summer Street a few days a week and I get out on my lunch and break and walk around the seaport and if I am really ambitious, I make it to Boston Common. I love the mix of architecture in the Sea Port district. I grew up in northern New Hampshire and only went to Boston to go to the Museum of Science and the aquarium. I love that I am now getting paid to spend time in the city.
The Residence Inn by Marriott (125 Brookline Avenue). It's quite pricey,but it's beautiful, and it's not even a 5-minute walk to Fenway . The rooms are great,like your own apartment. Also,there's a Marshalls right across the street,where there's LOTS of affordable Red Sox gear,and you can cut through the alley nearby where there's a Target. There's also a nice set of bars and food options
I just bought 2 tickets for the standing room only monster seats. I paid right at 240 for both but being first time in Boston and first Sox game I think it’s worth it. (Also playing the A’s) Do you have any suggestion on just a couple days in Boston on the absolute have to see? Eating at Cheers is the on the list and sure Beacon Hill but anything else?
Hope to visit Fenway Park one day. All the history there from Ruth, Teddy ballgame to Fisk and on. Even the beatings of my 04' & 13' Cardinals. I'd love to eat at Yankee Lobster, looked so good on DDD.😊
We are two young females arriving Logan airport at midnight. Could anyone advise the safest way travel to downtown hotel at Washington Street at such late hours from Logan Airport?
Awesome Video Jack! We're headed to Boston and will catch a game in August (2 families, kids 10 to 17). Any tips on seats, where to buy tickets & timing (StubHub currently at 75 US), shade (I suspect it will be hot in August), etc. Someone mentioned the balcony views are good? Any other tips you may have for us will be greatly appreciated. And yes, I'll be wearing my Blue Jays paraphernalia. By the way, are you allowed to bring a bag inside? We got caught with that last year in Seattle, my wife had a purse we had to run somewhere last minute to put it in a locker.
I'm a lifelong Red Sox fan in Los Angeles. If you wear Red Sox or any other gear to a Dodger game, keep your head on a swivel, especially if it's San Diego or San Fransisco gear. Very sad that your life can depend on it. If you wear Red Sox gear to an Angels game, it all good. You're get booed at or get some good fun sh!t talking to, but they are pretty cool at the Angels games. Plus it cost a lot less.
My dad is from Margaret Street. We were Bova’s for bread (Scali(a), Spuckies and thumb knot rolls and Modern for treats. They have the best Florentine cookies I’ve ever had and their Ricotta pie is the standard to which all others are measured.
