I am going to take my girlfriend to boston for the day and want it to be special. I am limited on money so nothing really expensive. I have been hearing alot about north end and newbury street. We both agreed to do the science museum. Where is the best place to park and leave it for the day?
The North End has lots of nice Italian restaurants, parts of the Freedom Trail also run through Boston s North End Newbury Street is a fun shopping experience, though it can get pricey List of things to do in BostonMuseums, 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 eventsRed Sox Game,or other sports eventVisit 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
Well it depends on what you guys are into . North End - has really good italian food ( some better than others ) and has that small town, little italy feel it is so known for. Have some italian food , an italian pastry and walk around . If its the weekend it will be pretty crowded. You can walk around The Back Bay Area. ..take the T to Arlington and walk up Newbury St. ( take a look at the shops and stores This is the 5th Ave of Boston) , then make a You turn onto Boylston and walk around this grand st. with alot of commerce....You can continue onto Boylston into the BU area and Comm Ave and take a look around the tree lined streets and the brownstones....quintessential Boston neighborhoods.... For cheap eats.... I would look around Allston/Brighton area ( green Line) due to the high college population , these areas have good, cheap eats to cater to the almost broke college crowd.Also you can go to Cambridge ( get off @ Central Square on red line ) and walk down Mass ave right into Harvard Square...it is a nice walk and you will see various neighborhoods and how they change from block to block. ...this is also where you can find quality cheap eats and dining. Some are better than others but see Yelp! for that .....The Maparium in the Back Bay area I hear is the best , touristy thing to do that is actually worth it ..,I think Boston is a wanna be NY where you can actually do /see a lot in one day ...Oh yea in Chinatown if you want cheap eats AND authentic cuisine this IS the place.... Food is the BOMB!!! See : Peach Farm , Hong Kong Eatery Jumbo.... my faves at least....Hope You fun..
