In case you haven’t seen the forecast for this next week…

We thought it would be a good idea to highlight some of the BEST outdoor spots this side of the inlet. Whether you’re looking to crush beers or sip tea, we’ve got the patio for you.

Here are the 10 BEST Patios on the North Shore

1. BEST for Views

Pier 7 because it’s got the best real estate.
