Where to Hang Your Leash
At the chic Taj Boston (15 Arlington St; 617-536-5700 or 877-482-5267; $329+) pets have their own 24-hour in-room dining selection, with offerings including shrimp and scallops, cod, grilled chicken, and ground beef, all served with white rice, plus warm milk and biscuits for a late night snack. There?s a non-refundable pet fee of $125 total per stay. It?s best value if you?re bringing a cat or dog, since the cost is the same if your traveling companion is a ferret or a hamster.
Close to the Freedom Trail -- a 2.5-mile red-brick walking trail that leads to 16 historic landmarks, and to the harbor beaches -- the Intercontinental (510 Atlantic Ave; 617-747-1000 or 866-493-6495; $289+) is a luxurious waterfront address for you and your pet. There?s a non-refundable fee of $100 per stay for any pet of up to 25lbs.
The Liberty (215 Charles St; 617-224-4000; $319+) is an elegant address with a past. The former Charles Street Jail was completed in 1851. It has kept many fine architectural details and even added a few the original architect had planned. Your watchdog (or watchcat, watchibis, or watchiguana) can stay for a non-refundable pet fee of $100, as long as they weigh less than 40lbs.
Chow? dog-friendly spots to grab some kibble
Upscale comfort food and a dog friendly patio are the draw at The Dish (253 Shawmut Ave; 617-426-7866; $13-19) in Boston?s gay-popular South End.
Fish sandwiches and crab cakes lure landlubbers to the Salty Dog Seafood Grille (206 Fanueil Hall Market; 617-742-2094), where dogs can be tied up by the outside patio.
Hip, gay-popular Tremont 647 (647 Tremont St; 617-266.4600; $13-25) offers an inventive menu for canines. The Sunday Pajama Brunch is a hoot.
Run, Dog Run
Joe Wex Dog Recreation Space (Peters Park; E. Berkeley Street, btn Shawmut and Washington Streets) is a 14,000-square-foot area designed with Fido in mind. This off-leash dog park, located in South Boston, is the city's first official canine park.
Look for the signs that show the way to the designated off-leash dog park in Boston Common (Tremont, Beacon, Charles and Boylston Streets; 617-635-4505).
Charles River Esplanade?s "gay beach," which runs approximately from Dartmouth Street to Gloucester Street, is a great place to meet friends, watch concerts and Friday night movies, and attend festivals. Your (leashed) dogs can also attend.
