Pros: A great city with history, lots to do and a great transit system.
Cons: Some say the traffic....and driving....
Rather than listing the usual places, I am going to go for the lesser known things to do, some of which are more known, some are unheard of! Boston on Mother’s Day or any day is a fantastic city.
What should I do here:...

Pros: There are many parts of Boston that are beautiful but the Gardens are special.

Pros: rare books, fun to explore
Cons: can be pricey, difficult to browse through all books in a section
When you step into Avenue Victor Hugo Bookshop, you are doing more than just entering a used book store. You are signing up for a short adventure delving through unusual books, sidestepping piles of books that don't quite fit on the shelves, and...

Pros: Small, walkable, scenic
Cons: The Big Dig
Does anyone else remember that song by the Standells? "...love that dirty water, Boston you're my home". Well, the water isn't so dirty anymore. Our former Governor Weld dived into the Charles River (subject of the song) a few years ago to make his point...

Pros: A city of major historical significance, lots of haunted locations
Cons: There's never enough time to see everything
The 62nd World Science Fiction Convention (aka Worldcon 62) may have been what prompted me to go to Boston in September 2004, but as a big fan of ghost folklore and history, along with some genealogical ties, I had plenty of other secondary reasons for ...

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: A city of rare beauty and history, a great tour also.
Cons: Mighty hard to do this tour in a short time. Cold is not good.

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...
