Boston

Pros: rich in history, Cheers, Make Way for Ducklings, lots of photo opportunities
Cons: expensive parking, easy to spend lots of money on attractions and souvenirs

I am a Pirate Who Doesn't Do Anything, or so I have been claiming for years. As any die-hard VeggieTales fan will tell you, the most important criterion for being a member of this exclusive club is that one can ...

Pros: Beautiful City, Lots of History, Plenty to see in a weekend!
Cons: can be expensive!

I have lived in Boston, Mass. for the last three years, and I constantly find myself entertaining out of town guests. I thought I would share with you the things I share with the people in my life when they come to Beantown for the first time. Most of my...

Pros: It only costs a buck
Cons: Boston is cold in December

I've lived in Boston for 13 years and I just now made it over to the 227th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. If you get the chance to do this, take it. It’s not only fun, but you also learn something. This epinion will let you know what to expect...

Pros: food made with loving care!!
Cons: It takes a looong time...but it's worth it!!! Make sure you're with interesting people!

Well, we finally made it to the 'Bra' Restaurant! It took awhile, but it was worth the wait. One of our co-workers had been raving about this little slice of Italy, nestled in Woburn, Massachusetts, for months now, saying there were bras on the bar and...

Pros: Unique finds in Boston shopping scene. Good deals are to found.
Cons: Not all pieces are easy to wear, but are interesting nevertheless.

I do not consider myself a great shopper, but a seasoned shopper. Born and raised in Southern California, it is difficult to imagine a better shopping scene. Having gone to college in Ithaca, NY, it is difficult to imagine a worse one. (Needless to ...

Pros: Beautiful exotic plants and flowers, great people, uplifting and historic.
Cons: Waltham, MA isn't convenient for everybody! Allergies???

Arguably, nothing is better for beautiful flowers and plants in New England than the warm months of summer. It's 58 degrees today but I know that we often have snow in April and the fact that my crocuses and daffodils are peaking out doesn't fool me! For...

Pros: Diversity in cuisine, atmosphere and style
Cons: Non-existent or hard to find parking. Better to take the "T".

After getting married I was transplanted from a small town in MN to the "metropolis" of Boston. Besides getting used to skyscrapers I also enjoyed sampling the variety of food you can find in larger towns. Here I'll list a few of my favorites from 2 ...

Pros: Kids can have fun here
Cons: Many exhibits don't work as designed or are just not very interesting

I love a good museum. Science centers are my favorite, but children's museums run a close second. I've been to a bunch in the past year, and I've become pretty decent at telling the good from the not-so-good. I visited the Boston Children's Museum...

Pros: the history, the beauty, the food
Cons: expensive, traffic

Boston is a favorite weekend jaunt for us. I have written a number of reviews that stemmed out of US Airways E-savers fares, and Boston is one of the best for a three day weekend trip. My wife will tell you without hesitation that when the choices are...

Pros: A fabulous combination of my favourite themes - architecture, history, politics and fish.
Cons: Too few public phones and a quixotic approach to street signage.

Here’s an old rhyme about Boston I’d like to share with you: Welcome to good old Boston The home of the beans and the cod Where the Lowells speak only to Cabots And the Cabots speak only to God. Doesn't augur well, does it? A city boasting of ...

Pros: it is charming and very walkable
Cons: very cold in the winter

Boston is a great, great city with tons of stuff to offer. In fact, it is one of the most charming cities I’ve ever been to in the United States. Much of the city is made up of brownstone buildings and there are plenty of parks and scenic areas. There...

Pros: Lovely homes, artists, Robin Cook
Cons: none

If you read any of the other reviews on Beacon Hill, you have found out how to get there and much of what you will see. Our experience was a little different.

We were on an...

Pros: Quality Cheap Eats
Cons: dinners cost quite a bit more

A Retro Menu! A lunch in Boston for 3.95? Gotta be a dream, right?

Ahhh, the joy of meatloaf that's almost as good as Mom's. I said ALMOST, Mom, so just relax! The place to go for an affordable lunch in Boston's Back Bay...

Pros: Absolutely astounding experience
Cons: They wouldn't let me sail it away

If you find yourself in Boston, Massachusetts, don't neglect to visit the USS Constitution Museum and "Old Ironsides". You'll be in for the treat of your life.

I had the pleasure of visiting the city of Boston a few years...
