Boston’s 14 Best Outdoor Drinking Destinations | Eater

"It’s not the most famous monument in Charlestown — that title goes to the obelisk commemorating the Revolutionary War a few blocks away — but Monument Restaurant & Tavern may be just as locally iconic. If you’ve worked up an appetite after a day meandering the Freedom Trail, waltz over to this spot for snacks and cocktails. It’s wedged into Boston’s oldest neighborhood, but it’s no tourist trap: You’ll find local families, young professionals, and townies alike packed into the cozy, rustic dining room or spilling out onto the sidewalk patio. The expansive menu has something for everyone. Sip on a Zeus Juice alongside your meal; with a mix of botanical Italian aperitif and Grey Goose Essences Strawberry & Lemongrass, it’s the ideal refresher on a hot summer day." - Vox Creative
