re: Going to Boston for the first time this weekend. Looking for things to do.

Lived here for about a year and a half so I don't claim to be an expert but always happy to give recommendations.

I would highly recommend doing the Harpoon Brewery Tour over Sam Adams.

Depending on your budget I can suggest tons of great places to eat or grab a drink.

There's really nothing to see at Quincy Market and it's something you can do during the Freedom Trail. Speaking of the FT, I really would recommend not doing a guided tour. Download the FT app and go at your own pace. Also, stop in the Bell in Hand and Green Dragon during the tour. Very historic bars that were frequented by Paul Revere et al back in the day.

ETA- you're thinking of the MFA (Museum of a Fine Arts). It's awesome. Went during their exhibit of the Magna Carta. If you like history, I also highly recommend the JFK Library
