Well...I am watching the Bruins kick the MapleLeafs around right now!!!

ANY of the little Italian places in the North End. Wander. Eat. Drink. Perfect place to spend an evening or two.

Eat at the Union Oyster House in Government Center.

Thanks for bringing the awesome weather with you from CA! Can't add too much to the previous posts other than NYC is only 3 hours away. :D

Freedom Trail is fun, the ancient cemeteries are the best part.

Nice Restaurants:
Troquet: very spendy French
Red Lantern: excellent Asian fusion
Stephanie's on Newbury
Chez Henri in Cambridge: Cuban French, excellent

Great smaller, "local" places
Jose's: great, divey hole in the wall Mexican in Cambridge
Mr. Bartley's Burgers in Harvard Square
Kelly's Roast Beef, multiple locations...these are awesome sandwiches
Redbone's BBQ...just get the beef ribs. You have to go here for lunch or dinner before you leave


Go to the HOTC tomorrow, grab a sausage off a cart and watch the boats go by.

If it's up your alley, I really enjoyed the MIT Museum.

wdfifteen 10-21-2011 05:27 AM

You can go to the Library for me. :) I'm doing research on the Lenox Motor Car Company and the Nelson Blower and Furnace Company and not getting much help from the research librarian there.

scottmandue 10-21-2011 07:09 AM

Drink lots of good beer...eat a lot of raw oysters.

Science museum and their Van de Graff... seriously... you will never forget that.

If you are remotely interested in history and/or ships you MUST see the Constitution!

As said... wonder around and try the hole in the wall places for food and drink.

I'm seriously thinking of vacationing in Boston when I can get some funds together.

Edit to add, go see Harvard
