Pros: A great way to spend a "bad weather" day. Uplifting
Cons: Not a place for kids to run free.
The Boston Museum of Fine Art is a wonderful place to spend a few hours, and I highly recommend it. This is a place in which art can be enjoyed equally by artists as well as those of us who "just know what we like"!
The MFA is...

Pros: Interesting history in a beautiful, waterfront location. Very inexpensive.
Cons: Can be very cold and windy in winter. Parking is a challenge!

Pros: Freedom Trail, Transit System, History, Italian Food, Fenway Park, North End, Taverns
Cons: Transit System Employees With No Information, Big Dig, Expensive Hotels
I go back and forth. Is Boston my favorite big city destination in America or is it New York? Some days I'll say Boston, some New York. Okay, let's call it a draw.
Like New York, Boston has high lodging prices. Unlike New York, it's not as...

by allyb , Dec 27 '99
Pros: Staying warm in frigid Boston temps
Cons: Sweat, some crowds and getting the bill
The weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful--or so it goes at many Boston area eateries. A wonderful way to take the bite out of a New England winter is with good friends, hearty fare and a roaring fire. There are about 20...

Pros: Great city enriched in history
Cons: Cost of living and housing.
I am writing from the perspective of a transplant and a former tourist. Boston in its size is very small compared to other cities like NY, Chicago, Los Angeles or Houston. This is in part because when the Boston city lines "were drawn" the did not ...
