"The champion of this department was Levy Restaurants, an event and catering company associated with Hynes Convention Center. Levy’s cupcakes were basically beyond words. I’ve never tasted a better crafted cupcake in my entire 26 year-cupcake-eating-life."

Commuters to get new ferry route from North Station to Seaport

Commuters bound for Boston’s Seaport will soon have a new way to complete their trips when the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority launches a new ferry route to the Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park, on the Seaport’s outer edge, from North Station.

 

The Boston Planning & Development Agency board last week approved an agreement with the MCCA to use a dock at what’s known as Pier 10, essentially a small waterfront park at the eastern end of Drydock Avenue. Ferries would take roughly 30 minutes to travel between Lovejoy Wharf, near North Station, and the new dock; the service would augment two existing MCCA ferries from Lovejoy to Fan Pier, at the western end of the Seaport area, on the edge of downtown. The ferries, which run year round, are expected to start their extended route to the Ray Flynn park starting on June 2.

 

The MCCA plans to keep departures at Lovejoy to every 20 minutes, by bringing a third boat into the mix. All three ferries would stop at all three locations: Lovejoy Wharf, Fan Pier, and Pier 10. (Bay State Cruise Co. operates the boats on behalf of the MCCA, as well as a fourth ferry that goes back and forth between East Boston and Fan Pier.)

“There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a city-kid on a boat for the first time — smiling, confident, and amazed after catching their first fish. To keep our program running, we rely on the generosity and support of programs like the MCCA’s Community Partnership Grants. Their commitment to community programs, particularly youth programs, makes our small operation and all those smiles possible.”

"The BCEC is one of the few convention centers that offers free Wi-Fi service throughout the facility. It eliminates the need to negotiate this "must-have" service, results in considerable savings and satisfied attendees!
