After relaxing for a bit we decided to do a little urban hiking exploration in the Seaport. We walked along the Harbor Walk. We were tempted to stop at the Boston Harbor Hotel and listen to the live band that they had in their pavilion area but we resisted and kept going. When we turned the next corner we spotted The Lookout at the Envoy Hotel. This place recently opened up and I had heard good things so we decided to check in out.
The roof deck looked pretty crowded so we weren't sure if we would be able to get up there but the hostess in the lobby sent us up on the elevator. The roof deck is huge and really well planned out. There's a bar against the back wall with lots of seating. There are lots of tables and some couches plus plenty of room to stand and take in the views. There was music playing, but it wasn't too loud, which we really appreciate.
The views are phenomenal from the deck. You get Boston buildings, the torches from the Intercontinental across the street, and water views. The sun sets behind the buildings and we were treated to a beautiful city sunset. This is definitely a place I want to go back to.
After The Lookout we headed across the street to check out the Intercontinental patio. It looked like a great place but was too crowded for us so we headed next door to the patio at Smith and Wollensky's. I love lounge seating and this place offered plenty of it. The patio is really pretty, with lots of flowers and shrubs. There's an outdoor bar, with a lot of seating, for a city patio. We grabbed two comfy lounge chairs and split a slice of New York style cheesecake. A waiter showed up with a canister of homemade whipped cream! Delicious!!!
It was a beautiful city night and just what we needed to start the holiday weekend!
