There's just so much to do it's hard to decide but I would sure visit The Freedom Trail (Paul Revere home, Boston Tea Party, Old North Church, etc.). but you'd better have a lot of time and you'll do a **** load of walking. You can cut some of it out by taking the Trolley. It's kinda "touristy" but it you like history, it's awesome. Fenway is fun. I actually got to step foot onto the field during a visit a few years ago and got to go inside the scoreboard in left field. Also, may want to check out Martha's Vineyard. Cool place to visit. You can take the ferry over there. Great day trip. The Bull and Finch Pub (aka Cheers) is a good place to throw back a few suds. Ole Salty had his fill of cold beer plus some on a couple of occasions there. For those youngsters here it was the inspiration for the TV show "Cheers". I know that pre-dates some here. Spoiler: Cliff and Norm aren't there but the wooden Indian is at the bottom of the steps. Oh yeah, if you're from the South and don't have their "ideology" then don't talk politics up there. It won't go over well.
Yep and don't miss your exit on the Massachusetts turnpike. If you do, you could be on there for a while.
Pizza Regina in the North End and 2nd the Newport Mansions.
I’m going to defend Bostonians. I’ve never met a group of people more proud of their city who want outsiders to enjoy it too. Now admittedly, I’ve got a little girl in a wheelchair, so people tend to overdo it a bit anyways, but I can tell when people are full of crap or just being nice. It was raining when we were at fenway. We were undercover but there was a very strong, cold win blowing in from behind us getting us freezing cold ad wet. A group of about 12 fans got out of their seats and stood behind us creating a wall. That was the most extreme example, but I never felt anything but welcome in boston.
Also, the doctors at children’s hospital in Boston saved my daughters life and are the reason I have her today. I will take a bullet for that city.
I'll second you on the friendliness. The people in Boston are kind and go out of their way to help in my experience.
Generally speaking, people are people no matter where they're from. I've spent a fair amount of time in the Boston/Rhode Island area and the people there are not much different than the people here. There's some ********, but for the most part people are fairly nice to each other.
