Boston is known as “America’s walking city,” where sidewalks are meticulously maintained come rain, snow or sunshine to the delight of native Beantown residents and tourists alike. And, perhaps, rightly so, with the city’s limited parking at times off-limits to even the highest bidders (tow trucks abound as sore reminders to those who must go without).
While the view of the city from street-level is pretty, and the ability to navigate Boston’s winding neighborhoods by foot a bragging right in itself, take a step beyond mass transportation and into one of these luxury commandeered travel techniques.
Gotham Dream Cars
Murciélago or Maserati? Bentley Continental or Carrera? At Gotham Dream Cars, the choice – and wish – is yours. Its multimillion dollar fleet has recently expanded to Boston, and driving enthusiasts couldn’t be happier. Whether you’re in the market to give an unforgettable gift or simply want to test the horsepower (for a day, a week, or longer), Gotham has what you need. Concierge services include unlimited fuel, drop-off and pick-up at the location of your choice, and a well-educated staff to answer your every query and whim.

East Coast Aero Club
When traffic saturates the interstate and you’ve got a downtown meeting to make, wouldn’t it be nice to skip the hassle of stop-and-go and to ship ahead in a helicopter? East Coast Aero Club’s fleet of Piper and Robinson helicopters would agree. Its fleet is available by the hour, primarily, with fly-to-buy options available. Who says The Donald has to have all the fun?
