My favorite seafood restaurant. There's usually a wait and the prices are on the fine-dining side, but it's worth it. Best hot lobster roll ever, plus great clam chowder and raw oyster selection.

This was the first public library in America, and the original McKim Building is breathtaking—marble, gilding, Sargent murals, a lovely Italianate courtyard. Lots of great free events! www.bpl.org
