i am going to boston for a high school conference in a couple months in the backbay area. i am from los angeles so i do not know much about the area! i know there is a little tavern called bukowski s and i hear they have good food/loud music. during the conference weekend there will be free time, what fun things are there to do (food, music stores...where do the high schoolers hang out in boston?) and what to wear during february in boston?
February, not a good time to be in Boston. It will be cold. You will need a heavy winter coat, boots, gloves or mittens, sweaters, and a wool hat. Music stores: The Newbury Comics flagship store is on Newbury Street. Despite the name, Newbury comics is a chain of trendy record stores in New England. There are also a few used record stores on Commonwealth ave west of Mass Ave. There are also some places that sell musical instruments on Mass Ave near Berklee school of music. Things to do in Boston:Museums, lots of Museums: The MFA (art) Isabella Stuart Gardner (art) ICA (art) The Aquarium, The Science Museum, Harvard and MIT museums, not to mention all the Historical sites; sites along the Freedom Trail, John Adams HouseCheck listings for concerts, plays and other eventsVisit the Harbor Islands, Whale watch, Blue Hills State reservationshopping, lots of shopping in Quincy Market, Newbury Street or Harvard Square in Cambridge, also visit the insanely overpriced Copley Place MallDuck toursGo to the top of the Prudential Tower for a great view Food you will probably go to Quincy Market at least once. It s real toursity, but worth it, if you don t show up at the lunchtime rush. I also like Crazy Dough s Pizza on Boylston Street. They put all sorts of weird topping on their pizza. (Not too far from the intersection of Boylston and Mass Ave) There a bunch of restaurants on Huntington Ave near Northeastern University.
