If all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you do it, too? Believe it or not, some people actually do this for a living, and many of these adrenaline junkies will publicly show off their bravery and determination when the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series returns to Boston this summer.
With athletes free-falling from heights up to 90 feet and reaching heart-pumping speeds of 50 mph, cliff diving is among the most dangerous extreme sports in the world. Boston might not be the first city that comes to mind when you think about cliff diving, but this June 3, the world's top performers will head to the Seaport District to test the laws of physics and do it in style.
Spectators will get quite the rush simply watching divers take the leap, so why not take the weekend to come down from that high? Get started with your feet firmly on the ground by taking in the city's best places to eat, drink and play.
SEE FOOD (AND EAT IT, TOO)
Spending all day staring at Boston's Seaport might put you in the mood for a fresh catch. Fortunately, you're in the right place to find some of the country's best seafood.
Nearby at the historic Fort Point Channel is the Barking Crab, a classic casual New England clam shack where you can rip into fresh crab, lobster and day-boat fish. Arguably, some of Boston's best lobster rolls are at James Hook & Co., a family-owned waterfront shanty dating back to 1925 that serves up live lobsters and shellfish. ReelHouse Oyster Bar's third location joins the Fan Pier Marina, situated adjacent to the Red Bull Cliff Diving event, where you'll find nautical-inspired cocktails, modern raw bar dishes and an outdoor patio to take it all in.
