South End Views

I love Union Park—the extra-wide street with the beautiful garden in the middle that leads you to The Buttery and Kava, and it’s always fun to go into Hudson. 

What’s your favorite street

to wander—and why? 

Tremont Street, because no two days ever feel the same. Picco, Parlor on Tremont, Down Under Yoga, and more! 

Skoah for the best facials in Boston. 

What’s the best hidden gem

in the neighborhood? 

The South End Covet location—very fun to browse the ongoing curation of clothes. 

SRV’s back courtyard area and the front bar area when they open all the windows. Great cocktail menu, always. 

Where’s your favorite patio

for a drink or a meal? 

Petit Robert’s patio! 

Life Alive. 

What’s your go-to for takeout? 

Calisto’s serves the best sandwiches.

My go-to order: the Roman Gold. 

A green juice/smoothie bar and FoMu—please come back! 

What would you like to see open in the South End?  

A karaoke place! 

Metropolis for dinner, always. 

Where do you take friends when they’re visiting the

South End? 

I love showing off the South End’s walkability to friends visiting the neighborhood. 

Giving back to Titus Sparrow Park. Our children spent many hours a day there when they were younger. The park had a recent renovation and continues to host many concerts and activities, plus we use the tennis court and basketball court.

How do you support your neighborhood? 

Incorporating shopping at small businesses into my routine. South End Food Emporium, Flock Boutique, and Parkside Books are some of my favorite neighborhood stops. 

All the neighbors and family friends we see on a constant basis, whether on the streets or in our alley, where we all convene. 

What makes the South End

feel like home?  

You can really make the city your own. I can walk a block in any direction and know someone, which makes the neighborhood feel incredibly connected.
