Downtown dining in Boston

The views in the majestic and historical area of the downtown harbor area of Boston have always impressed charter bus visitors.  The Old Town area of the city also has a large number of museums, historical sites and attractions that are best visited with a bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus chartered from Bus Charters Boston.  Travel through Boston in comfort and style in your charter bus as you sample some of the best dining delights that downtown Boston has to offer.

Get up close and personal with some Boston history during your charter bus trip with a visit to the Green Dragon Tavern, and have a meal in the same seat where the famous Paul Revere sat.  This tavern was opened in 1654 and is known for being frequented by Revere and his band of buddies that were hell-bent on taking down the British Empire.  In the years that this place has been open, it has housed just about every type of food and drinking establishment you could ever imagine. Currently, it is known for its long menu of premium Irish pub dishes such as corned beef and cabbage, fish and chips and shepherd's pie.  Enjoy something from a menu of ales and beers to go with your meal before boarding your charter bus to your next destination.

For charter bus diners that are more adventurous with their culinary selections, you will need to visit world-renowned celebrity chef Lydia Shire’s Locke-Ober, which caters for the more experienced palette.  Locke-Ober offers a luxurious and decadent menu of seafood cuisine.  Charter bus diners will enjoy its dinner menu that offers meals that include escargots Bourguignonne, Maine lobster stew and Dover sole.  Reservations will be needed, but once you are in the door, you will be spoiled like a star.  Crystal glassware, starched tablecloths and premium furniture complete the mood at this Boston hot spot for the upscale crowd.

Pearl Villa is a Chinese seafood cafe with food prepared in a cooking style from Hong Kong that will suit charter bus diners.  Some menu items include fried scallops, spring rolls, dumplings, jellyfish, crab, steamed chicken, Buddha's delight, string beans, stir fries, veggies with garlic sauce, wontons and noodle soups, but the menu has many more options. Pearl Villa is vegetarian-friendly but also serves meat dishes. The restaurant is casual and moderately priced and the decor features white tablecloths, wooden chairs, wooden tables and some Chinese artwork.

Charter bus diners will find the best Italian food in the city at Carmen.  Charter bus visitors can relax under dim mood lighting in the midst of fine stemware, flatware and crisp linen at Carmen's. The wine list at Carmen’s is extensive and features a number of rare local wines. The fascination with fine wines is evident there and you will enjoy looking over the hundreds of bottles on display. Carmen offers a variety of fresh locally harvested fresh seafood that includes clams, mussels, shrimp, baby octopus, scallops and numerous fish choices, with the focus on authentic Italian style and flavor.
