Ideas for Boston area?

[Dirtebiker]

My wife just made reservations for us to go to Boston for a week. Looking for suggestions for must see/must do while in the area.
Also of course, I'll be doing my research,but if you have knowledge of any gun laws that I need to be aware of, feel free to post.

If you can get out onto the Cape it's well worth the drive. Nauset Beach and it's lighthouse are nice in Orleans and walking out into the bay side at low tide is awesome. Go midweek to avoid the onslaught of people.

Gun laws are easy to address, don't take them.

If it were me, I'd do a self-guided tour of "This Old House" project houses....but I'm weird that way

See, signature below.

Kirk, are these in order of your preference?
the library? Really? Im assuming it's more than just books then. The architecture?

Thanks for all the suggestion everybody! I'll look into all of them. The more historic the better!

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Yeah, the library. They have different books in Boston, and they're better, don't you know? I mean, it's Boston and all. Everything is better there, isn't it? My suggestion would be to leave a nuke timed to blow after you'd left, but that's just me.

Take a trip over to Roadfood.com and do a search for Boston. Lots of trip reports and excursions there, with pictures, of places to eat and see.

Kirk, are these in order of your preference?

Maybe the USS Constitution and then Chinatown. YMMV.

the library? Really? Im assuming it's more than just books then. The architecture?

Cities are concentrations of intellect. Libraries host that intellect. I would go just to see the books.

It's a library, a warehouse of knowledge. How is that not enough in of itself?
