8) Lawn on D
Where: South Boston

Where: North End
Info: True patios, that don’t involve bulky traffic barriers, are rare in the North End and Mare Oyster Bar has one of the best. Tucked off the beaten path of Hanover Street, this intimate patio has couches, firepits, and quiet for a romantic evening.
