Near Boston Pier

[cleo656]

Would anyone know if there is a grocery/convenience store near the Black Falcon Terminal?

 

Thanks Pat

South Boston is kind of a wasteland. No one really lives in the waterfront area by the cruise terminal. Where are you coming from and what do you need to buy?

[cleo656]

We leave NY and our first stop is in Boston, what I'm looking to purchase is Diet Coke (NCL has changed to Pepsi products) so I thought maybe might be a place close buy to pick up a 12 pack or so.

I know there is a 7-11 on Northern Blvd at the World Trade Center. I just don't know if there is anything else closer to the pier. You may just have to ask when you get to the pier.

Thank you

There is a Stop & Shop Supermarket and Rite Aid Pharmacy on East Broadway in South Boston, which is probably 1/2 to 3/4 mile from Black Falcon. It's probably a little bit further than the 7/11 on Northern Ave.

Pat - are you going touring in Boston at all? There are places that have more amenities than the waterfront in South Boston.

We will probably catch a cab down to Faneuil Hall. My mom has a wheelchair so I think that would be the easiest.

Pat - read this thread that I responded on about Faneuil Hall for someone with mobility issues. If you get dropped off by a cab in the right place, you can be in the middle of things without pushing the wheelchair over a lot of cobblestones.

 

If you're by yourself (i.e. you've dropped your mom off at the ship and you are going foraging for diet coke), then I would walk back along the harbor along Northern Ave. instead of going to East Broadway. If you have a rolling suitcase, take it with you so you don't have to carry your coke stash back.

I know what you will say,''they have pastries on board'' but I have never tasted pastries like authentic Italian pastries..thanks

Modern is way better than any pastry you will have on board, so I would say yes, it is worth a visit.

 

I've brought food on board from other ports and I have never been stopped. I have never asked either though.

:) pre cruise in Manhattan we plan to visit Ferarra's Italian Bakery in Little Italy to taste their fare...when we were Taormina , the home if the cannoli , I must tell you the cannoli there was the best we have ever tasted..Viva Italian Delights.....

the 7/11 on Northern ave is your best bet for near-by the ship.

 

Other than a new Dunkin Donuts, there is nothing within the port

except an Au'bon Pan

 

Would anyone know if there is a grocery/convenience store near the Black Falcon Terminal?

 

Thanks Pat
