Bombadil 0 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) I'll be travelling the US and Canada for two months in summer/early autumn, starting in Boston. Any advice on where to go, where to stay and what to do? I'll be in Boston for 3-4 days. Edited May 31, 2009 by Bombadil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6009 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Ive been but the only touristy thing I did was go to the Cheers bar. Seemed like a nice enough place, kind of like a friendlier New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35070 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I've got a mate that lives there. I'll try to find some stuff out off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leannenufc 0 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I spent a day there last year but most of that was just spent walking around and getting a feel for the place. Really loved it there though-I've been to most of the major cities in the States, and it's probably my favourite after New York and San Francisco. Really attractive, with a very friendly atmosphere. As for things to do...the Freedom Trail is touristy but it's great for getting to see all of the best parts of the city. Also went to Harvard on the metro-not much to do there, but again, it's a nice place to walk around. Food-wise, again it's very tourist-focused but the market at Fanueil Hall was great. Cheap, tasty and loads of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stevie Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Fuckin "MA" makes me laugh. MA. Like its a country. I've won £25 on who wants to be a millionaire machines a good 5 times and my specialist subject is geography, but why should I know what MA is. Do you say Ipswich SU, or fuckin Liverpool ME? Yanks have a grip over these people in foreign countries, this goes to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17907 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I really liked it when I went, the city has a nice European 'feel' to it and is less frantic than New York. Probably my favourite US city (although I've never done the west coast). This was a while ago so I can't offer specifics but there's plenty to do and you probably won't feel like you're going to be murdered wandering around the centre and common. Oh, and Harvard is there too if you fancy hanging out with the frat boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
