In Boston w/GF for a few days, want to impress her..

Hi All, will be in Boston Friday-Monday with my girlfriend. We%26#39;re early 30%26#39;s, looking for places to go / things to do and especially a few restaraunts / bars that are trendy and/or romantic that she%26#39;d be impressed with. Would really appreciate any help! Thanks!

Two words that combine trendy and romance:

Durgin Park.

Trendy..The Bar at The Intercontinental

Romantic: Not far away at The Boston Harbor Hotel. I like the bar here. Always quiet and comfortable.

The Oak Room at the Fairmont Copley Plaza is pretty trendy (and right on for your age group). It%26#39;s a nicely restored, older lounge - high ceilings with live jazz and interesting vintage cocktails (or something more conventional). She will be impressed that you knew to take her there.

Also, go the North End, stroll around, and stop at one of the many pastry shops for Cannoli and Espresso. This is also a good opportunity to speak Italian, which will surely impress your girlfriend.

You could try to get tickets to the Celtics game on Sunday night - they will be hard to get but I%26#39;m sure she will be impressed that you could afford to get them.

Take her to Harvard Yard and reminisce about your undergraduate days at WGU (World%26#39;s Greatest University). This never fails to impress.

The Oak Room is a good idea. If you can get Celtic%26#39;s tix, you are in for a great night. This is worth some effort.

And if things go awry at the Celtics-Lakers game, there%26#39;s always Sully%26#39;s Tap Room post-game.

I%26#39;m surprised nobody has mentioned Top of the Hub for dinner. 52 stories up, great views with jazz playing is very romantic. The Oak Room is nice as well. In the North End, a nice italian dinner at Mamma Maria. Lounge@ 33 is nice for drinks. A romantic stroll through the Public Garden and a swanboat ride. Let her do some shopping along Newbury Street with dinner at Tapeo Restaurant %26amp;Tapas Bar or Stephanie%26#39;s on Newbury. Also on Newbury street, there%26#39;s a host of salons %26amp;spas. Or maybe book you two on a shopping trip to the Wrentham Village Premium Outelts. Book her a couple of hours of ';pamper me'; time. Dinner Cruise aboard Odyssey is romantic and fun as well. The Chocolate Bar at the Langham Hotel. Browsing and people watching at both Harvard Square and Fanueil Hall Marketplace. Head out to a great improv show for some laughs.

Obviously, you can%26#39;t do all of these things in a weekend, but it may help you decide what you do/don%26#39;t want to do.
