Abita has a pretty comprehensive thread. Search it out. I used it a couple of years ago. Tons of good info.

Oh good, the weekly Boston thread.

All the touristy stuff in Boston is fun to me. I enjoyed walking the freedom trail with an audio guided app the most I think

Part of this is the consequence of the default search window being one week. Very few people realize it's not an unlimited search, and therefore don't change it. I get it, it keeps costs down for Chicken.

thanks, this is great. Cannot wait to try out a few places Abita recommended

Salem is so touristy and closer you get to Halloween it becomes a nightmare for parking
Maybe head up to Newburyport if you want to get out of Boston for a day
Concord has some neat things to see and it's not far from Boston
Prudential Center - go to the top and the views are nice to see
We got free tickets from the Vineyard Vines store in the mall after buying a tshirt, They also have an Eataly in the Prudential Center
Newbury Street is nice for walking around, shopping
Italian North End for a meal and deserts (they have a few places to choose from)
Bullpen Kitchen and Tap is a cool bar by Fenway

The Museum of Fine Arts is fantastic, keep it on your list as an indoor option.

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is great if you like art museums. When we went a couple years ago, you could do the audio tour with your phone and earbuds. It was really good and highlighted things I would have missed, especially because items are not labelled. It was one of my favorite museum visits.
Watch the Netflix series on the heist from ISG. When you visit, you can see the empty spots on the walls from where paintings were stolen.
Museum of Fine Arts was great, but kids might not like it so much. We enjoyed the JFK Presidential Library, but again kids may not care so much for that.
Harvard is a decent trip. We went on a Saturday in summer, when I assumed it would be dead, but it was crawling with tourists from all over the world. Walk around campus, hit the Coop bookstore and some of the local shops.
The Druid, an Irish bar in Cambridge, was a good tip from a local at a Harvard area bar. We stopped there on the way back to town for fish and chips, shepherds pie, and live music.
All the Freedom Trail spots are good. Kids might get bored, but I spent a lot of time reading the exhibits and such inside the Old State House, Old South Meeting House, etc.
USS Constitution and USS Cassin Young (WWII destroyer) are good tours, and there is a kids focused museum there.

Thanks for the tips. I definitely want to check out the jfk library. As of right now the kids are wanting to go to the museum of science and the Boston tea party museum

I just got in town today with the family. Staying in the back Bay Area near the Copley Place. Walked around and tried to get my bearings this afternoon.
Got a late reservation at Capri in a few minutes.
Tomorrow is Krasi lunch, Fenway then an another late reservation at Saltie Girl.
Saturday morning a food tour of the Northend. No other plans as of yet. Harbor cruise on Saturday if weather will allow.

I was able to get reservations for Saltie girl as well. That is one of the main meals I’m looking forward too
Also planning on going to La Famiglia Giorgio’s Saturday before the LSU vs A&M game
