Excellent yoga studio and community. If you love yoga, don't leave Boston without checking out a class.

Well since you are staying here its pretty hard to miss, but luckily there is so much to explore in South Boston. South Boston is a up and coming city with a dirty past (i.e Whitey Bulger). Broadway is the main drag of Southie where you will find bars, restaurants and boutiques. Make your way down Broadway and you will find the beach. Enjoy watching windsurfers along Pleasure Bay, walk along Castle Island, or enjoy some sun on Carson beach. For a more historical side of Southie take a stroll up Telegraph Hill (I am being poetic when I say stroll...its a big freaking hill, but worth it for the views). LOCAL TIP: The best Pizza in Southie is Red Line Pizza right next to Andrew Station (yes, it looks sketchy..part of its charm). Order the Buffalo Chicken Ranch pizza...You're Welcome.

Traditionally, South Boston was a working-class neighborhood. It houses multiple industries and businesses like Gillette, which still employs many locals today. The area is also transitioning to a trendy hotspot for restaurants, hotels, and bars, part of which is now referred to as the “Seaport District.” Residents enjoy the waterfront and the skyline views of downtown as well as the nearby beaches and parks. You’ll also find Dorchester Heights here, where George Washington’s army set up cannons to force the British out of Boston in 1776.
