If you’re looking for – or have found – love in Boston, you may find yourself running low on date ideas after a while. However, there are lots of romantic places in the city, some of which are a little unexpected. From strolls across converted estates to spots that offer unparalleled city views, these 11 places will set the mood for your next big date:
For a casual date that's sure to wow, head to the Lookout Rooftop Bar at the Envoy Hotel. Once there, admire the spectacular city views and relax by a fire pit. This is a drinks-only establishment - if things are going well, you can then head downstairs to the restaurant or stroll a quarter mile over to Menton for some fine dining. Lookout Rooftop Bar is located at 70 Sleeper Street in Boston.
When we see opulent estates on shows like Downton Abbey they look imposing, but also quite romantic. You can capture some of that style with a stroll through Larz Anderson Park. This converted estate features green space that affords excellent city views, a charming gazebo next to the pond, and - in winter - an outdoor ice skating rink. You'll find it at 23 Newton Street in Brookline.
