Battery Wharf Dept: Judith Ritter Take in the sea air along Boston's waterfront HarborWalk. Begin a Boston visit with the city's evolving HarborWalk. Four kilometres of this 62 kilometre walk follow the length of the Waterfront from the Coast Guard Station at Fairmount Battery Wharf, past the fine New England Aquarium and the Children's Museum, to the Institute of Contemporary Art. Along the way, you'll find observation points, binoculars and fascinating signage with historic photos. Stops include an exhibit of old maps of the Bay and a view of the once fortified harbour islands from an observation deck. For the weary, the best place to take a break is on the harbourfront terrace of the InterContinental Hotel. Here you can order a mint and lime infused frozen tequila or, for true authenticity, a cool iced tea to sip while gazing out at the very spot in the harbour where the Boston Tea Party took place the original one, of course . 374 Congress St., Suite 307; 617 482 1722; bostonharborwalk.com With its artsy Fort Point Channel enclave full of galleries, the Rose Kennedy Greenway, the HarborWalk past every wharf in the neighbourhood, its museums, hip new eateries, old school bars, harbour tours and little water taxis, the Waterfront is a mash up, desolate and bustling, and on the cusp of becoming what developers and dreamers are calling the New Boston.
