Hi Mig-

Lived in Boston for 6 years, it's a great town!

You said you didn't want to get on a boat, but I hope that doesn't mean you're not up for anything aquatic. The New England Aquarium is amazing, the variety of sea life there is unmatched anywhere in the NE. It's also a quick walk over to Faniel Hall/Quincy Market, which is a great place to do some shopping and to pick up the red line on the sidewalk known as the Patriot Trail. You can follow the trail either to the Old State House or to the North End, which is the traditional Italian section of this predominantly Irish city. I highly recommend stopping there for lunch or dinner, and having a cannoli or cake at Mike's Pastry on Hanover Street. Outside of my hometown, the sweets don't get much better.

You can also take a Duck tour, which is a tour given on an amphibious WWII vechicle. This will take you to the USS Constitution and the Bunker Hill monument, if you're into the historic aspect. If you're not, I would say to take the T over to Cambridge and go walking around Harvard,and up Memorial Drive- it's nice in the fall and you may catch a street performer or two at Harvard Square.

Finally, you can't do Boston without doing an Irish pub. The Black Rose is a traditional favorite, it's right at Fanieul Hall.

If you want a local bar or restaurant, or want a specific type of cuisine, just post where you're staying and I will recommend somewhere.

Have a GREAT time!
