I haven't been to Boston in a really long time, but my sister used to live there, so I used to go there quite often! Here are just a few things I liked to do there... keep in mind I was a kid... so I can't totally recommend bars or drinks or anything... which is a little sad, but we did some tourist-y things and some not touristy things... so it was pretty good!
There are lots of historical tours that you can do. My favorites were the Duck Boat tour and the Ghost Tour... I'm not sure if Boston still actually does the Duck Boats, but are cars that they used in the war that you can drive on the land and then they go into the water. It's fun. The tour guides were really fun and its an interesting look at the city.
And then there was a Ghost Tour that I really liked. You would go around all the graves of historical people and the tour guide we got was really good. I feel like the tour guides they get in Boston really know their stiff and do an interesting job of telling the history of it all. I don't think it was too spooky for kids either.
The food was all really good too! The Oyster House had the best Chicken Nachos ever... I don't think they made them the second time we went back, but it was really good when we first went there. And they did walking tours around there too where people dressed up as historical figures... and one time we saw a Red Coat and an American Soldier going into the bathroom... it was funny.
And some of the best t shirt stores to stop at are in Boston. Johnny Cupcakes, which is cool and a staple... especially for halloween. And Life is Good, which I'm sure is a little bit more well-known and its still fun to just walk around the actual store. The Johnny Cupcakes store is designed like a bakery, which is cool. The boxes the shirts come in look like Dunkin Donut boxes also... just a really cool store! I like it a lot!
It's not far from Salem either, which his a good place to go if you like history! A lot of it was kind of gimmicky... but it was a pretty fun place. You can tour Nathaniel Hawthorne's house. It was pretty fun!
Another fun outside of Boston thing is the wonderful restaurant from Ming Tsai, Blue Ginger... even the Maraschino Cherries that they put in the drinks are amazing! Best meal I ever had was probably the butterfish from that restaurant... sooo soo yummy. Its kind of a fancy place, so its somewhere you sort of need to dress up for. The desserts are really great too. Its just a really great place!
And that's about everything... I know I'm forgetting a lot probably... there might be a Part 2 to this... but for now that is everything! I haven't been to Boston in years, so this stuff might not be there anymore... but these were my fun memories... so I figured I'd share these!
Byeee!
