Seaport District is a real time commitment — fit it in only if it's a priority.

Boston's most modern, walkable nightlife-and-dining zone — harborfront patios, a buzzy after-work scene, and the architecturally striking ICA contemporary-art museum cantilevered over the water. The catch: it's brand-new and corporate-feeling with little of old Boston's soul, prices run high, and it can feel like an outdoor mall by the sea.
