Where to watch

Special Report: Where to watch

Our 1st stop takes us 750 feet up and to the "Top of the Hub's" kitchen.

Mark Porcaro, Executive Chef, Top of the Hub
"Just get my binoculars out, and watch it from here."

Mark Porcaro, Executive Chef, says the dishwasher has the best seat in town...

"When a lot of white flashes go up you can tell that someone just hit a home run, then you see a little white dot running around the bases, so, its pretty cool."

Ok-don't want to wash a dish?

Nicholas Spidaliri, Restaurant Manager, Top of the Hub
"The first thing they ask when they walk in the door is, where is Fenway."

Don't worry--there are a few seats in the bar that can sneak you a peak...

Nicholas Spidaliri, Restaurant Manager, Top of the Hub
"We have four or five tables in the back corner, we call the Fenway rooms where you can see right down on Fenway Park…"

Our next out of Fenway view is only 9 feet down in the Prudential Center's SkyWalk...

Justine Briceno, Manager at the SkyWalk
"I think we have one of the best views in Boston of Fenway Park."

With Ted Williams looking and cheering on Fenway's new favorites-- you are able to see the field and sometimes even hear the crowd!

Justine Briceno, Manager at the SkyWalk
"It was really cool during the championship, to hear the roars from up here, you would think you were standing in a parade that’s how loud it was."

Only short stop away from Fenway is the Hotel Commonwealth and it's so close you can actually feel the action...

Tim Kirwan, General Manager, Hotel Commonwealth
"With the view of the park right out their window they can actually watch the game on television, use room service for their meals and whatever, and hear the cheering and see the park in the distance."

Talk about a luxury box--these rooms give you the best out of Fenway feel…

Tim Kirwan, General Manager, Hotel Commonwealth
"We actually call them the Fenway rooms."

And from the beginning the hotel commonwealth has been in-sync with Sox success.

Tim Kirwan, General Manager, Hotel Commonwealth
"It was win the World Series, and then we will finish the hotel, it just worked out like that."

The only other two cool places is in someone's apartment across the street- the blimp or head to a local bar!
