Why Boston's Seaport Is a Must-Visit For the Holiday Season
If you're looking for last-minute gift-buying, or a relaxing day/weekend trip surrounded by water, Boston, Massachusetts is a pretty solid choice. And in December and early January, the city's reimagination of the Seaport into the Snowport makes it an ideal one-stop-shop.
In addition to the restaurants and retail options Boston normally boasts, The Holiday Market rounds them out with a fresh selection of businesses. Take a look at some of our faves below. The Market closes January 2.
The Fat Cactus X No Chewing Allowed!
Treat yourself!
If there was one booth that stayed packed for the entirety of our visit, it was this one. Treat yourself to hot chocolate with a creamy truffle that melts either in the cup or in your mouth. The best part is, the company also has tins of truffles to take home.
Sky Candle Co.
Need a new smell?
This company, founded by a gay couple, has all of its all-natural candles hand-poured in Boston. "Our goal is to create quality candles that everyone can afford," they write on their page. The best part? a portion of profits go to a local animal rescue.
"A Sea Bird" Mural
While you're in town you should stop by Sea Green Park and see "A Sea Bird," a mural on the ground of a local basketball court. Best seen from overhead, the work is a mosaic of beautiful colors. Going for a peek at the work by queer artist Maria Molteni is the perfect way to stretch your legs and take in the sights.
The Envoy Hotel
While it's not queer-owned, The Envoy Hotel is probably one of the best options for staying on the Boston Seaport. The boutique hotel is beautiful and hosts a rooftop bar and restaurant — Lookout Rooftop. Tables outside are inside igloo bubbles that are appropriate for both the ongoing global pandemic and the weather.
