re: Advice for Boston

I have been to Boston several times as my brother lived out there when he was going to MIT and he also ran in the marathon. Patriot Day out there is fantastic. I've done all the things mentioned in this thread. I didn't see Concord Bridge listed though. You'll need a car but going out to the site of the "shot heard around the world" is pretty cool. Just surreal to be on that site where it all started. We always start out Boston trips there on Day 1 and then would stop and eat in Lexington.

The top of the list is the Freedon Trail. It really is fun to walk. After doing it a couple of times we modified it and made a pub crawl out of it by stopping off at bars along or near the route. There are not a lack of bars in Boston. The Harvard campus and the bars right there along the T stop at Harvard Square are pretty good too. Actually, we spent one day riding the Red Line out from Cambridge into downtown Boston by just stopping off at various stops and hitting the bars around the T stop. Pretty good time.
