Blown Away

A perfect evening in the Seaport for the 2018 Taste of the Seaport. It seems every visit I make to this vibrant area of Boston, a new restaurant opens. This event was an excellent way to sample food, drink, and service from many of the restaurants in the seaport.

The event located in an open lot, surrounded by new buildings and beautiful views of the harbor, anchored by a visiting tall ship from Portugal. Music was playing, and at a level, that added a pleasant mood and a perfect volume. Beer and wine were flowing at the bar. Eventgoers were rejoicing in the beautiful weather – holding things down at times with a few strong wind gusts. The organizers had everything ready for the opening. The abundant staff made access very easy, quickly checking IDs, accepting pre-purchased tickets, and issuing more at the “door.” One hardly felt like there was a line as things moved quickly.

As the event went into the evening, space filled up, but I never felt crowded. The organizers did a great job arranging the restaurants in a giant “U” shape. It made it easy to walk around, get access to the food, and engage with the chefs and restaurant employees who were more than eager to showcase their samples.

Hopefully, this will be an annual event, with all the new restaurants appearing almost on a weekly cycle in the seaport, this could be a “seasonal” event.
