Things I can't miss in Boston

[RockChalk]

Wife and I are going to hit up Boston for 4 days. First time visiting there for both of us.

What should we make sure to do while we're there?

[mlyonsd]

Game at Fenway.

Cheers bar vastly overated.

Walking freedom trail tour

[MVChiefFan]

Stand on a street corner and yell “marky mark is a slightly worse rapper than Vanilla Ice”!

[Ebolapox]

their art museum is top notch
take a harbor boat tour if you can
eat a lobster roll
eat a cannoli
check out a game at fenway
mylon's correct, cheers bar is very overrated and the walking tour pretty cool
just go walking/exploring, there's a TON of history there that you'll just randomly run into.

I'd probably want to try a Wahlburger.

I had one in Atlanta. It was pretty good, as are almost all burgers. It didn't change my life or anything.

Apparently now it at least LOOKS like the bar from the show. When I was there 30 years ago, it just looked like the dank, shitty basement of an old building, which is exactly what it was. I remember walking down the stairs, seeing the door, opening it, and thinking WHAT THE ****? To this day it's the single biggest disappointment of my life. Especially after the hour drive to Boston, the hour and a half I spent looking for it, and the hour it took to find a parking spot. I didn't even have a beer - I just bought two shot glasses and a t-shirt and immediately left.

If I ever go back, the main thing I'd like to see is the Constitution.

So I think a Duck Boat tour is pretty much mandatory.

The Freedom Trail is definitely a thing, and very cool. Lunch at Faneuil Hall is common (though it is stupid crowded and seating is a challenge). Visiting the oldest warship afloat, the USS Constitution, is definitely nice. Bunker Hill Monument is like a stone's throw from there, but I pretty much favor a "point at it and look" approach there. But hey, if you REALLY like stairs, go for it.

I've never been a big fan of the whole Harvard Yard thing. Doesn't excite me any, but some seem to like it.

The art museum is excellent, and if you're into it, you might also very much like the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum. The aquarium is also very good. We don't have a zoo that is anywhere near worth visiting, so forget that. Fenway Park is a common place for visitors to hit (see what I did there?) if you're into baseball.

The Museum of Science is as good as most you will find in big cities. JFK Library is pretty good.

If you're staying in teh city, dinner in the North End is usually something worth doing. That's the Italian enclave of Boston.

If you're in the area, Copley Square area can be a thing either day or night. Plenty of shopping (two malls connected by a skywalk, as well as shopping along the street), and a few "sights" of sorts to see.

Trinity Church
Boston Public Library
Christian Science plaza

And in that same area is the Prudential building, which has an observatory from one of the tallest buildings in Boston.

Boston Cream Pie

[bigjosh]

Pizzaria regina. You will thank me.

The boston aquarium is pretty cool.

About 20 miles south east you can see Plymouth Rock. (Its a not very impressive tourist trap) but the Mayflower II is docked there still i believe.

Fenway is a must if you have never been. Best seats and atmosphere are in right center field.

There are fishing charters out the ass if you want to do some deep sea fishing.

About 20 miles north is salem, and theres a park area dedicated to the witch trials if your into that type of shit and also the lizzie borden house is in fall river about 30 miles south.

Boston has some of the most significant US History in the country. (Philly gives it a run) But, the people, for the most part are ****ing obnoxious. They seem to believe that being from Boston makes them tough enough to talk to people like they wanted to get hit in the face. It's like every douche bro in that town saw Good Will Hunting and decided they were the troubled kid who fights too much. Oh, and they're all named "Tommy or "Patty" Or "Stevie'

I've played Fallout 4, so I've already seen all this stuff.
