Opened in 1963 with only a few key recipes and a ton of fresh seafood, Anthony Athanas had a dream to be one of the best seafood restaurants in all of Boston. And succeed he did. From creamy chowder and lobster bisque, to any seafood you could imagine, to prime rib and porterhouse, Pier 4 has it and delivers it in an old world style. Prices range from $8-$14 for app's to entrees in the $30's. Although Anthony is no longer with us, his sons still run the business today, and keep that Athanas charm working year round at this Seaport District favorite.

Boston Light on Little Brewster Island is part of the Boston Harbor Island National Park area, is the site of America's first lighthouse. Originally built in 1716, it was demolished by the British during the American Revolution, and rebuilt in 1783. The beacon from Boston Light blinks every ten seconds and can be seen for 27 miles on a clear night. 3-1/2 hour guided tours of the lighthouse and Little Brewster Island are led by the National Park Service Rangers, the US Coast Guard, Friends of the Boston Harbor Islands and the Coast Guard Auxiliary. The three and a half hour "soft-adventure" offers a 30-minute narrated harbor tour highlighting the maritime traditions of Boston Harbor and its islands. From the ferry you can see the park's three lighthouses: Graves Light, Long Island Head Light, and Boston Light. Each lighthouse site is included on the national register of historic places. Once on Little Brewster, spend two hours to explore the island, meet the lighthouse keeper, learn about the light's history, and discover island life, past and present. A climb up the 76-spiral stairs and two ladders to the light's beacon offers a view of the working lighthouse and second-order Fresnel lens which lights the way for ships and is seen up to 27 miles away on a clear night. On a clear day there are also views of the Boston skyline, the Boston Harbor Islands, and Massachusetts Bay. Many families bring a picnic to the island and enjoy a relaxing lunch. Facilities: Telephones and bathrooms are not available on the island. A bathroom is available on the new high-speed 100-passenger boat which provides the harbor tour.
