"Must-see: Church Street Marketplace (and its side streets, like Cherry, Bank and College), the Waterfront, Bike Path and Oakledge Beach, the colorful South and North ends. So many great eateries, too."

"Looking for fun, inexpensive jewelry -- or that perfect statement piece? This shop has it all. Tons of unique accessories for you and your home. The original art on display is pretty killer, too."

"Finally -- a genuine bagel shop in the South End. Awesome service and atmosphere, including bathroom chalkboards and a bookshelf. Don't forget to check out the special cream cheese before ordering!"

"Awesome spot to hit in the spring and summer. I recommend getting here as early as possible to snag a sweet spot on the rocks -- prime suntanning, swimming and views."

"The Velvet Glove and the Ginger Mojito are two of the best life choices you may ever make."

"The Da Hui omelette is delicious -- bacon, spinach, bleu cheese. I add onions. The home fries are great here, too. Just make sure you check out the specials before ordering from the menu!"
