Go to The Tobacco Company. Best spot in the slip. Great food and great music

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Due to the cobblestone streets and brick sidewalks, proper foot ware is important. The sidewalk is also uneven in spots.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Boat "cruise" downtown not that great. Too much traffic. Hard to get to. Parking hard to find and expensive!
