re: Boston in late July

Just got back from Boston. Really enjoyed the JFK Museum, the Prudential Center, the tour of Fenway (although i am not sure if they do this over the summer as it will be in season) and Harvard campus. Since you will be there in the summer, could be cool to catch a Red Sox game if that is something that you guys are into. A trip to Martha's Vineyard would also be a lot of fun. We also went to a Celtics game which was great but obviously that won't be happening in July.

As far as restaurants, we had dinner at Abe & Louie's one night and it was outstanding. It is a little pricey but i can't reccomend it enough.
