DESTINATIONBostonBoston calls itself “America's Walking City,” and with good reason: driving can be a challenge. What better excuse to park your car and explore on foot? There's history around every corner.
ARTICLEAttraction Passes The Boston CityPASS offers savings of 45 percent on combined admission to four top Boston attractions. CityPASS tickets include prepaid admission to the New England Aquarium and the Museum of Science, plus, your choice of any two of the following attractions: Boston Harbor City Cruises, Franklin Park Zoo, Harvard Museum of Natural History and View Boston Observation Deck.
ARTICLEBoston Sports & Rec The religious zeal with which Boston was founded has been transformed into a modern-day fanaticism for sports. In few other cities do even the most rarefied academics follow their hometown teams with such enthusiasm. When one considers the city's bragging rights to a number of athletic firsts and bests, its sports obsession seems quite justifiable.
ARTICLEWhat To Do In Boston Walk the Freedom Trail. In less than 3 hours, you'll see 16 historically significant sites as you follow a 2.5-mile-long trail. Take in history at such landmarks as the Old North Church (193 Salem St.) and the Old State House (206 Washington St.). The Boston Massacre occurred in front of the latter, the city's oldest surviving public building, in 1770. This is just the beginning of things to do in Boston.

Restaurants
RESTAURANT1928 Beacon HillAmericanAlthough you won't find that everybody knows your name, you'll have a chance to reflect on the classic "Cheers" TV series over a pint and an app. Originally the Bull & Finch Pub and inspiration for the show, this touristy stop tempts you with dishes grouped under sections named for the show's characters, such as Sam's Starters" and "Norm's Sandwiches."diamond-approved
RESTAURANTMike's PastryBreads/PastriesA landmark in the North End since 'nearly forever,' the popular Italian bakery almost always has long lines, but it's well worth the wait. To say it bustles is an understatement. All of their pastries are homemade in the back kitchen and unbelievably fresh. Those who can't make it into this place may order online. Hours typically start at 8 a.m. to at least 10 p.m. each day. To lessen your wait, visit midweek. This is a cash only establishment.diamond-approved
RESTAURANTLegal Sea Foods - HarborsideSeafoodLegal's flagship restaurant located along the harbor affords waterside views and delicious seafood preparations with most fish and shellfish hailing from the local coastal waters. The menu has New England seafood classics such as fried clams, lobster rolls, baked scrod, raw oysters and more. The sushi offerings are also a main draw with a long list of classic maki rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. When open, grab a drink at the third floor four-season bar with a retractable glass roof and wall. diamond-approved
