Pros: Everything
Cons: Parking, Driving, Weather, Expensive stuff

One day I will eventually leave Boston, with the thought back in my mind that I will never get the comfort nor the familiarity I have with the area. I don't know where I'm going to end up since I'm still playing that over in my head, but Boston is a ...

Pros: A great place to visit.
Cons: You may get so relaxed you'll never want to leave!

If you're a native Bostonian,you probably know about Castle Island. But if you're not and you're planning a trip to Boston,this is a great place that you don't read about in the travel guides. Castle Island was once just that,an island. Then a road was...

Pros: Authenticity, charm
Cons: crowds and cover charges

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day. Well, in Boston, we've got an abundance of the real deal, so ditch the giant shamrock hat, lose the fake brogue, order up a pint of Guinness and let the locals show you how it's done.

Pros: Friendly, Historical, Picturesque
Cons: Can be cold in Winter

Boston just topped my list as the Best City in the World. To accomplish this, it faced stiff competition from New York and Philadelphia, as I am not a very well-traveled person. However, Boston and its surrounding area is simply a wonderful place to...

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: beauty is -ocean views and wonderful seafood
Cons: those darn rotary turnarounds on the roads- a bit excessive

Boston- What a beautiful place to visit loaded with tons of history, beautiful waters, and delicious seafood. There is so much to do that you run out of time trying to do them all. Visit the marketplace for great shopping downtown. Visit the huge...

Pros: cute
Cons: don't take it ten times in a row

If you are a visitor to Boston, especially if it's for the first time, the Duck tour is a MUST.

Pros: Massive array of family activities, both in the city and surrounding towns
Cons: New England weather isn't always cooperative

Choosing a solitary or couples' vacation is easy. Choosing a destination for the family is a little more complicated--particularly if your clan includes kids with a wide age range. Boston, however, offers something for every member of the group.

Pros: Lots to see. Historically rich. Excellent Public Transportation System.
Cons: For the most part, nIghtlife shuts down at 2am. Big Dig makes travelling by car difficult.

If it wasn't for Boston's public transportation system it would be nearly impossible to get around. Leave you car at home and buy a T pass. That being said Boston is by far my favorite city. Ok so I live in Boston (or actually a suburb of it) but for...

Pros: Easy Transportation, Tranquil Atmosphere, Classic American Culture!
Cons: Small, Frequently crowded

A Bostonian for most of my life...and a college student, I like to call myself an expert in finding good times in Boston. If you're heading to Boston, and looking for fun at night, your first stop should be Landsdowne Street. Touching Fenway Park,...

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 ...

Pros: Totally fulfilling
Cons: the train only runs until midnightish

Please tell me the name of another U.S. city where you can find such a lively community filled to the brim with the arts, science, education, history, a great public transportation system, and a safe atmosphere? While, I admit I am not...

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: 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 ...
