Hynes Convention Center

Capital Grille

Once in a while it’s nice to treat your taste buds to a fantastic meal. It’s easy to do that at Hynes Convention Center. Just stop by Capital Grille. Open for lunch and dinner, Capital Grille serves some absolutely delicious entrees. It wouldn’t be a Boston restaurant if there weren’t loads of seafood. Between lunch and dinner, you have options like lobster and crab cakes, a cold shellfish platter, roasted swordfish, fresh Maine lobster, and plenty more. Some other notable kinds of dishes include multiple cuts of steak, creative salads, and sandwiches.

 

Towne Stove and Spirits

The other restaurant at Hynes Convention Center is currently under renovation; it is scheduled to open in the Spring. Towne Stove and Spirits is known for its eclectic menu. The décor and ambiance of the restaurant may be changing, but the menu will still offer a wide variety of awesome meals.

 

Sheraton Boston Hotel

One thing you won’t have to worry about when you’re preparing for a trip to Hynes Convention Center is where you’re going to stay. There are 10 hotels within five or so minutes from the venue. The closest of them is Sheraton Boston Hotel – it’s actually attached to the convention center. Regardless of which hotel you stay at, you can try the three restaurants inside the Sheraton.

 

Apropos

When you’re in the mood for a hearty and/or healthy breakfast, Apropos is the place to go. For those who want to eat a big breakfast, the buffet is the best option. You’ll have access to an omelet station, waffle station, an assortment of breakfast meats, fruits, and yogurts. If you’d rather keep your meal a little lighter and cheaper, go for one of the breakfast entrees. Waffles, pancakes, omelets, and sandwiches, all the breakfast staples are well-represented. You can also order sides like fresh fruit, corned beef hash, cereal, breakfast meats, and bagels.

 

Sidebar & Grille

After a long day at Hynes Convention Center, you might need to unwind in a comfortable restaurant that cooks some affordable, bar food. If that’s the case, Sidebar & Grille has you covered. The food isn’t anything extremely creative, but it’s prepared well; classic bar food is beloved for a reason. Gnaw on some chicken wings, dip chips into the spinach and artichoke dip, bite into a flatbread, sandwich, or burger. Or, go for a healthier option and order a big bowl salad.

 

MARKET

Whatever kind of event you attend at Hynes Convention Center, it will probably be a busy one. Sometimes you won’t get the chance to sit down and enjoy a meal. MARKET comes in clutch in moments when all you can do is grab-and-go. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner foods are available.

 

Prudential Center

Another big perk of attending an event at Hynes Convention Center is the easy access to the Prudential Center. Not many other convention centers can brag about having a shopping mall attached.

The mall has a solid assortment of cuisines, from pizza at California Pizza Kitchen and Crazy Dough’s Pizza and Italian at Eataly to Asian at Num Pang Kitchen and Wagamama. For sweets, walk over to Cold Stone Creamery, Ben & Jerry’s, Sugarfina, or The Cheesecake Factory.
