After 20 years of being off/on deployed, we are going to celebrate our 20th and Boston just seems such a historic place to go. We have a spot in Copp's Hill, and if you had a week to know everything you've seen in Boston, give me what we MUST experience together.

Thanks in advance!

The Definitive Boston Thread
The resident Boston expert created this thread in 2018.

But; my three recommendations:
Freedom Trail - talk to the docents
Eat in the North End - can’t go wrong with Giacomo
Get some Boston Cream Pie at one of the bakeries

There is much more to do.

The first thing I would do is search this board using the term BOSTON

Much of what you will be told and are looking for is already in another post somewhere.

I’m currently on vacation but will come back to this thread when I get home and give some suggestions.

My initial thought when I read your post was “where the hell is Copp’s Hill?” I had to google it to realize it’s the cemetery in the Common. Walked by it a thousand times but never knew the name.

What time of year will you be in town? That will help dictate some activities.

That thread is so old. It still has a lot of useful stuff but it desperately needs to be updated. It’s a lot of work though.

We stayed at the marriot Copley place when we went. It is a great central location. The Freedom trail is definitely worthwhile. We also walked to Harvard and MIT which was kind of cool. We were there the weekend of the Head of Charles, so we watched the boat races which was fun too.

My wife and I are going this week for a last hurrah before our little guy shows up.

We are planning to do the Freedom Trail, a game at Fenway, walk around a bunch to gawk at buildings, and drive down to Newport to see the mansions (my wife’s request).

I looked at the Boston thread quite a bit along with Reddit in an attempt to plan for eating more than anything. I can reply back if we hit any great or not so great ones. I have Abitas thread saved on my phone so I can look at restaurants for whatever area we end up in come meal time and hopefully save ourselves from any bad meals. One problem with the internet is I can find people saying you have to eat at Place X and others calling the same pace overrated. Time will tell how we do.
