Travel Info
We're all 27 and we have no idea what to do around here for fun.

Travel Tips
Ok, if you're looking to get the most sights and sounds in, then start your vacation off with walking the Freedom Trail. It deal with the Revolutionary War and Paul Revere's Ride. Next, the Duck Tours. To get tickets, you need to go to the Prudential Center Mall where they have signs leading to the kiosk. Also, the Observation Deck in the Prudential Tower is nice.

If you want to do a bar/pub crawl, the best place is Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market area. They have some nice little stores there. Newbury street is the big shopping place in Boston, and ranges from the moderately priced, to the "if you have to ask, you can't afford it."

Looking for great Italian food, go to the North End, which is on the opposite side of Fanueil Hall. Take in a Red Sox game. These tickets can be a little expensive, but worth it, it's the oldest and smallest ball park in the country, and really has you close to the game no matter where you are...or you could just take a tour of Fenway Park.

Outside of Boston, you have the U.S.S. Constitution, the nation's oldest commisioned warship. It's really interesting to hear about it's history, and funny to know that if we really needed to, the President could call on the ship, and it would go to war. Also, Salem is about a 30-45 minute drive north of the city. It's best to go during the Spring/Summer months, once the Fall comes it gets busy there. The Witch Museum is very interesting, as well as the pirates.

Really, Boston is centered around history, but it also has a lot of general fun things to see and do. I hope this helps.

fenway, catch a red sox game. go to museums.
go to a red sox game, go shopping, go out to eat
Get in a cab and go to the Union Oyster House for dinner. It's the oldest continually operating restaurant in the US. It's a tad pricey (2 people cost us $50 - but one had lobster), but it is so worth it! Take your camera! It's a great area!

You can also take a drive to Salem. It's 30 minutes north of Boston and there are lots of pirate and witch museums to see!!! :)

Have fun! :)
Fenway park is really cool, even for an A's fan. This is coming from a Yankees fan.
O, and don't forget to go to Cheers!
If you like shopping, check out Newbury Street. If you like bars, go to the North End (and there's great Italian too), Cambridge square is fun, always cool to check out Harvard if you 've never been. You can visit Cheers on the Boston Common. --And this may sound lame to 27 year olds, but you can take the trolley tour, at least it let's you off at desirable locations throughout the city. Don't forget to stop at Emerson College and say hi to my alma mater.
museums,duck boat and Legal Seafood restaurant. Take a ride up the coast. Go to the pier see if a band you like is playing and have some Dunk-in Donuts.
