Drumroll please!
Boston Magazine recently announced its Best of Boston Winners! Here are the winners from the Charlestown neighborhood! Congratulations!
Prima – Best Private Dining Room
This Italian steakhouse doesn’t just host private dinners—it stages full-on productions. Beyond the stately main dining room with its glossy dark wood, local design firm Assembly Design Studio created two scene-stealing private rooms: the romantic Rose Room, bedecked in plush red velvet and pink marble, and the Park Room’s garden-party fever dream of florals and pale green. Each has its own bar, and both are guaranteed to wow your guests. 10 City Sq., Boston, MA 02129, primaboston.com.
Crate Escape – Best Doggie Daycare
We’d love to spend all day with our furry friends, but sometimes pesky responsibilities—like, ahem, our jobs—get in the way. Luckily, the Crate Escape has doggie daycare locations in Cambridge, Belmont, and Charlestown, and a carefully screened canine client list to ensure the day isn’t just fun and enriching but safe, too. Have a dog who’s an introvert? Try the smaller play groups with moreindividualized human attention and extra downtime. Got a puppy? There’s a program for that, too. Just don’t be surprised if your best friend doesn’t want to leave her new friends when you come to pick her up. 200 Terminal St. Charlestown, crate-escape.com.
Boston Winter Fest – Best Kid Friendly Festival
If it seems like entertaining kids is easier in the summer than in the colder months, that’s just because you haven’t been to Boston’s Winter Fest, which debuted last December and will return again this year. Across 2 acres in Charlestown’s Hood Park, your tots can gaze up at a 32-foot Christmas tree, ice skate, visit a life-size ice castle, see live performances, meet Santa, and sip hot chocolate. Just don’t tell them the festival runs from December through January, or you might find yourself spending the entire holiday season (and beyond) there. 100 Hood Park, Boston, MA 02129, winterfestboston.com.
