There’s a lot to see and do in Boston. The Freedom Trail leads you directly into the beginning of America’s fight for independence, and the Public Garden leaves you inspired by the carefully curated flora. You can get cozy and watch a Red Sox game at historic Fenway Park, or go crazy at TD Garden cheering for the Celtics. Visit north Boston for Italian food and tchotchkes, wander through quiet, peaceful Brookline and rethink your commitment to ever driving anywhere again. You can also visit the 21st Amendment. Long day? Walk into the dark timbered, Kennedy-vibed pub. Sit at the window. Chat with the lovely, helpful bartender, say hey to the local guys getting off work and taking a breather. Take selfies by the cool, framed political ephemera. Do all these things! Then, come hell or high water, if Paul Revere himself rides through and demands evacuation from incoming raiders, you MUST order the onion rings. Picture this: It’s a warm spring day and you’re visiting your oldest son who moved to Boston back in March. He’s at work, so you take the day to explore the city with your husband. As any tourist knows, miles of pavement pounding and historical marker reading will famish you, and upon cresting the hill you see the 21st Amendment, open and bustling. Your dogs are barking, your blood sugar is crashing, and it’s time for a snack. The aforementioned bartender - a beautiful, funny, welcoming blonde - brings you a glass of rose and a draught beer. Your husband orders the sliders and the onion rings. In minutes, the plate is set in front of you, and left to your own exhausted devices, you dig in. Slider with a chaser of beer, sip of rose, a bite of the onion ring A bite. Of. The. Onion. Ring. I’ve been around the world. Countries and continents - no stranger am I to the delights of the first meal after a long day of travel in a new city. But the 21st Amendment onion rings - perfectly sliced. Perfectly fried. Perfectly salted. They stack them on your plate like a hibachi onion volcano, coated perfectly, expertly in seasoning I can only describe as “heavenly”. The crunch, the onion almost caramelized inside the crispy coat of fried batter, the aroma - for a half a second I thought I might fall off my stool, I was so overwhelmed with this utter, total, absolute culinary perfection. I was silent for the remainder of my meal, praying desperately to the line cook gods that my dear husband would not notice how quickly I was gobbling up my half of the dish, and subtly (or not so subtly) leeching onto his half of the plate to raid his onion ring supply. There are plenty of onion rings in plenty of places, sure. But there is no onion ring like THIS onion ring anywhere. There never has been. I am confident there never will be. The definition of “a religious experience”. When life hands you the pleasure of visiting Boston, or you have the great fortune of living in such a wonderful city full-time, my direct advice is to skip the Michelin stars. Skip the food trucks and the white tablecloth farm to table displays. Ignore the hot dog vendors. Say no to brunch. March directly, not passing go, to Beacon Hill, and duck into the 21st Amendment. Find a seat. Order a drink, order the onion rings. Pray there’s a short wait to build your anticipation and whet your palate, to intensify what is going to be a changing moment in your life and expectations of flavor, and, when they’re delivered in their neat little stack, take a split second before you dive in to appreciate what may be God’s own perfect snack before you have the honor of sharing in it. You won’t be sorry. Photo is moments before I began my own epiphany of pub food existential transcendency. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Awesome pub. We had an absolute blast here. Lauren, the manager, is truly next level — on top of her game like no one else. Great food, solid drinks, and an amazing vibe. Definitely a bucket list spot in Boston. Also! Rachel was incredible — brought the energy all night and made the whole experience next level. Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
