Open Houses: Make it a Roof Deck Sunday

This time of year, there’s nothing quite like a roof deck.  A cool evening breeze after a hot day, long views across a relatively flat city, a cold beverage, perhaps—there’s really not much else that can replicate the feeling. The fact that people seem not to use them all that much in this city kinda blows my mind.

While most any roof deck in the city pales in comparison to that one over in near Kenmore Square (y’know, with the complimentary $100 dollar food voucher?), there’s still something to be said for having some open space slapped on to the top of your building. Last week’s fireworks, for example, were stunning from the Beacon Hill parapets (at least until the all that pesky smoke got in the way).

So fight back against the legislators that would ban rooftop gatherings—go see some open houses with roof decks this weekend! They’re often reasonably priced, and offer by far the best way to unwind after a sweaty bike ride home or a jam-packed T ride.
