It's on the Freedom Trail but Paul Revere's house was a waste of time.


Hard disagree on this. The home is one of the oldest homes in the country. One of the only original Boston homes still standing. It has original wall paper in the second floor.

Full Disclosure - I get off on antiques roadshow.

Do the Freedom Trail.

Just stayed there for a night this past week. Stayed at the Godfrey hotel. We went to a few bars that we had fun at. Drink is a cocktail bar without a menu. You tell the guy what flavors you like and they make shite up for you. $15 a drink pretty much. After that we hit a bar called Rock and Rye before ending the night at a place around the corner called 4th Wall.

If you have more time and are there during baseball season, absolutely do the premium pre-game tour. I’m a huge Red Sox fan so that was a surreal experience for me. You get to walk behind home plate during BP, walk out into the outfield and go through the scoreboard of the green monster. Then you also go on top of the green monster and sit there during BP for a little while. People are saying RIP Baseball Tavern so I guess that place isn’t there anymore, but it was cool during the day. The Bleacher Bar under the stadium is sweet too.

Do NOT call someone from Dorchester a "Southie"

Not a good idea...
