Food - Through the T Station to Congress St
The Seaport has a few “you can’t get there from here” spots, which means it’s a little easier to walk across Summer St. go downstairs one level in the Silver Line station and exit on Congress Street. All of the directions start at the T exit on Congress St.
Warning: if you have trouble on stairs be aware that the elevator near the Silver LIne T stop wasn't working on 2/17, nor were the escalators working either.

All of the building in the Seaport in recent years means less parking. But you still have some options beyond hotel parking if you’ll just be onsite during the day. And, on Sunday and Monday (President’s Day), on-street parking at meters is free in Boston.
Note that the Boat Show is going on at the Convention Center during Boskone this year. This also impacts parking availability in the Seaport District. The South lot at the Convention Center will be open Fri/Sat/Sun and costs $20 a day but the hours will be close to the Boat Show Hours: Fri noon-8pm, Sat 10am-8pm, Sun 10am-6pm. Do not plan to park there very late.
There’s a spot that's very close and $25 if you enter before 9am and exit by 5pm - it could be cheaper on the weekend. It's the SBWTC garage and it's the large garage at the back of the Omni (which is across Summer from the Westin). But anyone can park there.
SpotAngels (https://www.spotangels.com/blog/complete-boston-street-parking-guide/) can help you find available parking.
