Woods Hill Pier 4
Seasons change, and so does chef Charlie Foster's phenomenal farm-to-table menu, which sources many of its ingredients from Woods Hill's own farm in New Hampshire. One thing that always stick around at the Seaport restaurant, though, is the year-round (!) patio dining experience, thanks to heated translucent igloos that keep us warm once the waterfront breeze cools to a winter chill. 300 Pier 4 Blvd., Seaport, MA 02210, woodshillpier4.com.
The Proprietors
Flavor and creativity go hand in hand at this island eatery, where dishes such as mushroom-pâté-slathered focaccia and cheesy fried-green tomatoes set the tone for the most innovative brunch menu in town. Top it off with one or two of the Proprietors’ signature drinks (a sparkling rosé cocktail with vodka, passion fruit, and vanilla, perhaps?), and start your Sunday Funday off right. proprietorsnantucket.com.
The Mapparium
The three-story stained-glass-and-bronze globe depicting the world as it was in 1935 is a quirky introduction to the oft-overlooked history of Mary Baker Eddy and the Christian Science movement in Boston. Designed to capture the spirit of Eddy’s publishing empire, the globe is a snapshot of a moment, one informed by her goal of building a transparent, positive press in the era of tabloids gone wild—a goal that might feel just as urgent today. 200 Massachusetts Ave., Boston, MA marybakereddylibrary.org/project/mapparium.
