"Love that dirty water"
"The Greater Boston area is full of attractions for all ages. From the Boston Tea Party to the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere and far, far beyond, Boston and environs provide a kaleidoscope of attractions giving a patriotic perspective on yesterday, today and tomorrow. As New England’s largest, most important city, Boston is far older than the republic. But it’s also a contemporary center of high finance and higher technology, not to mention home of the very pub that inspired television’s long-running Cheers. Some of its citizenry regard it as not only the hub of the region but the universe as well. High on the social pecking order is Back Bay, a neighborhood comparable to an address on New York’s Park Avenue or San Francisco’s Nob Hill. Most lovely among Boston’s neighborhoods is Beacon Hill, bounded by Cambridge and Beacon streets, the Charles River and the Esplanade. Across the Charles lies Cambridge, “Boston’s Left Bank” according to tourism promoters fond of depicting it as funkier, spunkier, and spicier than staid old Boston. Definitely, Cambridge is a city where counter-culture thrives alongside classic-culture in a world of multi-culture. Greater Boston, with 50-some colleges and universities, is awash in students, assuring a non-stodgy ambiance. Water plays a big role in this seaport city, and Boston's parks, like its boat rides and other waterfront activities, provide a change of pace from urban frenzy. Boston Common, America’s oldest park, anchors a miles-long stretch known as the "Emerald Necklace." Quite compact from an attractions viewpoint, Boston is comparatively easy to navigate by foot, ferry, and its subway called the T."
"Newbury Street has been called the "Rodeo Drive" of Boston. Shops are quite pricey but the closer you get to Massachusetts Avenue the more reasonable they become. I went into Urban Outfitters (there is also one in NYC) and got a few things. It's a beautiful street, at least worth walking down to window shop!"
Shopping in "Little Italy": To the cursory visitor, the North End is a mecca for Italian restaurants. But where do you think the chefs get their food from? Why, of course, from the North End's local butchers, bakers, wine merchants, food shops, greengrocers, and salumeria!
