"Eating and drinking by the water should be one of our god-given rights as Bostonians. But we actually have relatively few places to do that, thanks to a half-century of bad urban planning when the city’s leaders must have been afraid of pirates or something. The roof deck at the flagship Legal’s in the Seaport is frequently crowded because it’s unquestionably one of the best places to eat while also smelling the salt air. You can get a few of the Legal’s standards up there, but mostly it’s a solid sushi and raw bar menu, so head up there and reclaim what’s rightfully yours." - dan secatore
