The article discusses the author's newfound appreciation for summer in Boston, particularly in relation to the seafood dining experience. The Seaport area, once primarily a parking lot, has transformed significantly but retains several longstanding seafood establishments. These restaurants continue to thrive even as high-rise condos and luxury accommodations emerge. The author highlights the joy of indulging in fresh seafood during the summer months, emphasizing that local favorites like oysters and lobster rolls are best enjoyed in a relaxed, sunny atmosphere.
The other day I went to the Seaport and saw a menu of very basic cocktails that would cost me $25. Instead of going there, I decided to do this story.
People's love for no-frills seafood platters is that strong.
The Seaport used to be one big parking lot, with only a few restaurants, big warehouses, and seafood markets.
Sure, it's available year-round at most places, but it's more fun to slurp down oysters or splurge on lobster rolls when you're no longer affected by seasonal affective disorder.
