Sorry for the delay! The Local Pup was away for the weekend and neglected this post :P

Correct Answer: The Atlantic Fish Co. on Boylston Street in Boston! Check it out here www.atlanticfishco.com. Delicious steamed mussels are the best app here! (Tip: ask for extra bread to dip in the succulent broth...don't waste the broth!!)

This is a tough one, I'll admit it. This restaurant serves excellent seafood dishes and has a fab little outdoor patio that's a huge hit with tourists and locals alike. Hint: This restaurant is pretty close to yesterday's Where Am I location...

This location is very iconic in Boston, I think some of you will know this immediately...Where am I?

Correct Answer: Harvard Square! You guys guessed right. This little side street leads to Upstairs on the Square, OM, and some other fantastic food locations (and watering holes too).

The Local Pup enjoys this area for all of it's eclectic stores, as well as a wide array of bars and restaurants. Where Am I?

Hint: Here's another (colorful) icon on this street. You don't have to name the street, just guess the general area :)

Correct Answer: The New England Aquarium! There is an IMAX theater next to it (seen in picture, to the right).

The New England Aquarium is on Boston, easily accessible from the Blue Line on the MBTA. Parking is expensive if you use a parking garage (we paid $35, but had a car-full of people to split it up).

If you are looking for something entertaining to do in Boston, stop here and see all the penguis, huge fish tank, and many other cool exhibits. Don't forget the camera!

The Local Pup went on a sea adventure in this area of Boston this weekend (and saw a sea dog friend!). Can you guess, Where Am I?

Correct Answer: Sel de la Terre on Boylston street in Boston. There are literally bikes hanging from the ceiling like this, right above the seating area in the bar!

Nothing says classy like...bikes hanging from a ceiling? With lights on them?

Where Am I?

Hint: This picture was taken in the bar part of this Boylston street restaurant, and some might describe the food here as "très délicieux" if they ate at one of the three Boston area locations.

Correct Answer: The Mayflower (technically the Mayflower 2) in Plymouth, MA

Forgot to upload the rest of the pictures for the week...so here is an easy one. Where Am I?

Here's a hint: think turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.

Bonus Question: What year did this bad boy arrive here? 1620...come on, no one knew that? :P

Good job!

This one goes out to anyone who works or lives in Boston. Beautiful Boston day, picture-perfect clouds...and a guest appearance from someone special.

Correct Answer: Harpoon Brewery in Boston, MA!

Harpoon Brewery has 2 brewery locations, one in Boston and one in Windsor, Vermont. Harpoon began brewing delicious beer in 1987 in Boston, and then they purchased the Vermont location in 2000.

Both locations hold tours and tastings throughout the week...check it out sometime! http://www.harpoonbrewery.com

It's summer and boy is the Local Pup thirsty! Boston offers some great local watering holes...and this location promises an endless supply of crisp, resfreshing beer. Where Am I?

Correct Answer: The Weathervane restaurant, located right on Plymouth's waterfront!

This building used to be a fish market, way back in the day, and the Weathervane fisherman and his boat have been for years and years.

South Shore Shoutout time:

The Local Pup <3's good seafood. You are NOT truly from the south shore if you don't know this location. Where Am I?

Correct Answer: This bridge is in the Seaport District in Boston. It twists around to make way for boats to go through, though I'm not sure if it's actually still a functioning bridge anymore. If you know a Michelle D., ask her about the time she drove over it during construction by accident.

The Local Pup loves being near the ocean in Boston, especially in the summer time. This location is near one of the previous Where Am I? post locations...do you know, Where Am I?

hint: not looking for the name of the bridge...just the general location :) (bonus points if you tell me the name of it)

Correct Answer: Memorial Drive

Some people guessed more specific locations, but I was going for the more general Memorial Drive :) This was actually taken right near the boathouse thing.

The view is amazing anytime of year here, but this night in particular was gorgeous. The moon was almost full, the sky was practically clear, the air was perfectly summer-ific...ahh so many reasons to love Boston!

Where is your favorite view of Boston from? Tell me about it!

A summer night's walk along one of the prettiest places in the area. Where Am I?

Side note: Found these ALL along the walk, practically every foot or less along the railing, and almost touched one a few times. The Local Pup was NOT happy about it.

The Local Pup was at Lucky Strikes in Boston (inside Jillian's). Kings was really close, but not it. JKatt actually won this one via Google Buzz.

Jillian's is across from Fenway Park and is a 70,000 square foot facility (holy crap). It includes Tequila Rain (dance club/bar), Lucky Strikes (bowling boo yeah!) , and Jillian's Boston (food part) which also has a ton of pool tables. Go here to drink and play. It's sweet.

The Local Pup went here and enjoyed the margarita's a bit much after a long day of drinking...and left poor A.T. and G.M. without paying for a drink or two. Oops! :)

The Local Pup was out on the town this weekend in Boston! Good friends, good drinks, fluorescent lights and rented shoes=the perfect end to a great day.

Can you guess...Where am I?

Most of you got it right: MaryLou's (Plymouth location)...the best coffee in town! (plus they have pink straws and hot coffee cups, so really they sold me with that before I even got to the coffee).

The Local Pup visits the south shore in MA a lot (south of Boston) and has a favorite place to perk up with some caffeine. Where am I?

Answer: The Public Library in Copley Square. No one guessed it correctly today, but I'm sure someone will get tomorrow's location!

Where Am I?

Post a comment with your guess! (all comments will be posted this afternoon, along with the correct answer)

Is this a tough one? Ok, here's a hint: the Local Pup was somewhere around the Copley area in Boston...

Answer: The Barking Crab

All 4 guesses were correct, good job everyone!

Hm, maybe the Local Pup needs to make this more challenging...check back tomorrow for a more difficult location!

The Local Pup was feeling...er...crabby today. Where Am I?

For the Local Pup's first post, there's no curveball here. It's a super easy Boston landmark.

Where am I? Do you know? Post a comment with your guess!
