Beacon Hill Quaint
Located just behind the Massachusetts State House, Beacon Hill is one of ’s most exclusive and expensive neighborhoods . A walk through Beacon Hill is a delight- you’ll find ivy-covered red brick town homes , cobblestone streets, and perpetually burning gas-lit lanterns. Visit charming Louisburg Square (between Mt. Vernon and Pinckney Sts.) which is bordered by elegant Greek Revival homes facing a grassy oval park. Only residents get keys to the park, but anyone can take a promenade around it. Many visitors come just to Beacon Hill just to see narrow, cobble-stoned Acorn Street, which may be ’s most photographed spot. And nearly every visitor to wants to see the bar “where everyone knows your name.” (84 Beacon St., 617-227-9605) () formerly known as the Bull and Finch Pub, was the inspiration for the popular 80′s sitcom. Visitors of a” certain age” will recognize the bar immediately- the exterior shots for the opening of the show were actually filmed here.
