Hey there world travelers, hey there, I'm Tanya and I'm Dave and we are Turn It Up
World. Welcome to . . . Boston!
That's right we are continuing with our exploration of Boston the beautiful city
of Boston last time we actually were diving into Cambridge this time we're
diving into another part of Boston starting our morning right now in Beacon
Hill exactly the beautiful streets of Charles Street here and actually we're
going for some breakfast at the famous paramount on Charles Street Oh 1937 yeah
it's crazy I mean the lines can be extremely long fortunately this is kind
of the colder season of Boston and we're here right as the doors open and there's
plenty of seating so that just could be a wise tip for you guys if you're gonna
try the Paramount which is really a famous spot for breakfast here in Boston
you should certainly go early exactly go in the cold yeah all right let's go
inside
I felt so good I was really amazed while I was amazing good good morning morning
how are you wow I don't even know where we're
supposed to order oh wow order here that works order here morning
definitely going for the Terramax breakfast I mean we're at the Paramount
so I'm going for the trot my breakfast and think about you you're going to like
your huevos rancheros I give the chair like we said there's the line there's no
line off the door today I will tell you the breakfast wasn't anything special
the signature paramount breakfast was basically x of your choice for big and
greasy pieces of bacon not so crispy potatoes toast and coffee now Dave's
looked a bit more interesting he had huevos rancheros with fresh
avocado black beans potatoes eggs over-easy and tortillas Parma reminded
us a bit of your local diner where folks from the neighborhood all come out to
eat and enjoy the warm and welcoming atmosphere and overall vibe of his
long-standing staple here on Charles Street now as that being said the only
thing left to ask is what did you think what did you think yeah justice Jimmy I
agree no legs
Erica
yeah we are here at ACORN Street on Beacon Hill it's one of the most famous
streets in America actually one of the most photographed streets in America as
well yeah it's really quite you know I don't not believe acorns by the way in
the streets it's actually cobblestones yeah you know if you it looks like maybe
eight chords now it's actually a really beautiful picturesque spot and very very
quiet that is oh it's amazing very quiet very peaceful I think I can live here
yeah I maybe offer them maybe the money I could afford it otherwise expenses yes
apparently it says it you know you're not supposed to take photography yes
here private way no trespassing
so right now we are standing in Louisburg square which is a very popular
very pricey spot of Beacon Hill probably the most famous spot and be can help
yeah this an acorn street those two spots I mean unbelievable yeah okay it's
so beautiful here so private it's you know quiet don't can't disturb the folks
they're sitting right by the winners Italian ejaculate yep permit parking
only and if you don't follow that you can read the sign right here or you can
read this sign right here I'll let you know don't see these signs everywhere
we are in Charlestown at the USS Constitution which is the oldest
commissioned naval ship in the world actually was commissioned in 1797 is
actually the oldest commissioned one still afloat yes
so gorgeous and here's an interesting thing it's called aka also the old
Ironside and it got its name back in 1812 when the British ships were firing
cannons at it and it seemed like the cannonballs were just bouncing off of it
so the British would say I think that ship is made of iron but no I basically
I think it's because of the way it's made with that live oak which is a
strong flexible type wood so it's almost just bouncing off the ship but that's
where it got its name it still stands today and it's so beautiful actually
another interesting fact is that only 15% of the original wood is actually
still part of the ship they've been maintaining it over the years and
replacing the wood so 85% is actually new wood on it but Old Ironsides there
it is yeah here's another fun fact once upon a time would happen with this
particular boat was they were going to just destroy it use this target practice
yeah once the city because they were trying to raise funds to restore it and
they said no at the time but once the city found out that they were going to
use it as like a target practice for cannons they said Oh put a stop to that
and here it is today and if you're here it's a constitution we recommend that
you actually take a guided tour it's a free tour about a 30-minute tour which
is amazing you go on go onto the ship they'll tell you all about this you have
a lot more details you'll get to see the living quarters that conditions all that
stuff the cannons up close so definitely check it out again it's free and lasts
about 30 minutes discover and play around on the freedom trail now the
freedom trail is about a two and a half mile span about 16 historical sites
along the way all you have to do is follow the red brick road like Dorothy
she follows the yellow brick road
you just follow the red brick road it's little bricks kind of on the roadway or
on sidewalks some of them have plaques along the way to let you know that
you're still on the right track but it's something you should do make sure you
wear your Apple watch your Fitbit because you'll get a lot of steps
welcome to bunker there's so much history here in Boston that it could
take you months just to see it off yes amazing it is amazing it's actually an
hour in Charlestown on the top of breeds Hill which is a site of Bunker Hill the
Bunker Hill Monument and Bunker Hill was an eerily interesting battle it was June
17 1775 one of the first like major battles of the Revolutionary War and
what's significant they call us actually didn't win the battle and normally you'd
commemorate a battle you won but they actually inflicted severe severe cattle
tears on the British Army and a lot of officers and so I think it was a time
when the colonists really said hey we can stand up to these guys you know we
can beat this incredible army the British Army yeah and so it gave us a
lot of confidence you know going into the Revolutionary War yeah once we
really flying it to oh I guess interesting is that the Battle of Bunker
Hill actually was on Green Hill and there's so much stories behind that
particular battle where you know was that on purpose was it intentional where
they're supposed to fight them we need to intimidate the British so they can
see them where I felt like the battle if it were gonna be on Bunker Hill was
actually more of a place of an ambush they can you know be on a higher ground
right exactly yep that's it we're gonna be climbing
all the way there but there's two hundred and ninety-four steps oh yes but
you know what it's actually to look at it in more of a positive way we're gonna
be getting out of the rain the drizzle and hopefully you know even though it's
cloudy we should be able to see some pretty nice views from there so one
other thing that I wanted to mention before we go climbing up to the top of
this monument which maybe I'm procrastinating just a little bit
because that's a lot of steps is that there was an important message that was
actually said here and when the Redcoats were approaching the colonists were
actually low and ammunition so the generals of the commanders and Chiefs
told them don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes which basically
meant don't miss
okay lie there isn't 294 there's 290 suspected put their metal so we made it
to the top yeah you got 294 stone steps you got three metal stats yeah 290 all
right it's time for lunch I think so
yeah I'm hungry mr. David are you going to be trying
some places today I think I may be all right so after about 45 minutes we are
finally in we're sitting at the bar which is a great spot we like to sit oh
yeah yeah we got our nice batch here of oysters and round about here we go
parallel
that's good we've got two of each all recommendations by our gracious
bartender and hoster so these are the Neptune pearls amendment juice on there
of course you got to have the horseradish in my opinion and this is
supposed to be more of like a medium to high salt and a lot of buttery type
critters which is nice let's say come on here we go
definitely a nice fiery yeah hunting a little bit about Ronnie's name there
hahaha definitely nice buttering Isaac salty kick to it but that is really
really good house this is what I'm talking about the hot lobster all hot
and buttery good is definitely what I came came here for and it really known
for its caption toaster the hot lobster roll is really one of those staple
dishes so good jump right in here and give it a try that's really good that is
really good just so fresh alap is amazing
you know they taste a butter in it everything is playing things together
we're really good Neptune oyster bar is definitely a treat even though it's a
bit on the pricey side and can have long wait times it's well worth it
the food the energy the experience and service are all top-notch oh my god what
do you think of this place what do you think
oh yes Quincy Market this historic market complex near Faneuil Hall is
located in downtown Boston tons of shops Boston and rebellion and places to eat
all the weights you walk through those doors so round and clean to market our
live street performance of Midtown sharing their talents and art with you
