The next time you're in Boston, make sure you put The Liberty Hotel on your list of places to check out. What was once known as the Charles Street Jail, has been transformed into 298 guestrooms and 5 restaurants and bars (CLINK, Alibi, Scampo, the Liberty Bar, and Catwalk) that are the epitome of spooky-meets-swanky luxury.
This hotel that houses an open drinking arena in the middle of cell block-adorned hallways is quickly becoming the #1 place to see and been seen in Beantown. With a celeb rooster of visitors like John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Mick Jagger, and Brendan Fraser, I had to check it out for myself, so I stopped by their signature restaurant CLINK. recently. One word: Pappardelle—this homemade, thick-cut pasta dripping in lamb ragu is the reason why you come here. And for the Veal Meatball Sliders, which we were lucky enough to score the top-secret recipe for. Try this dish out at home and don't forget to make a reservation the next time you're in the area!
