I%26#39;ve never been in Boston. Arriving Logan at 6:40pm Boston time. What do people suggest two people do for dinner? I wanted to get down to Quincy Market but is that even reasonable considering they close at 9pm? Also, what would be the best way to get there? Taxi?
Then, my brother has an interview starting at 8am the next morning, ending around 3. What do people suggest doing for those hours when I%26#39;m alone? Is the city easy/hard to navigate? We have a flight at 7:30pm.
Anyone eat at Summer Shack at Logan before?
A day -- what to do?
I forgot to add. We%26#39;re staying right near Harvard Medical School/Longwood Medical Center.
A day -- what to do?
Good morning Magic168,
You%26#39;re going to be very busy checking out a lot of places while your brothers on that interview, he%26#39;s going to have to wait for you when he%26#39;s through!
Look for the Brown Sugar Cafe for lunch in the Fenway area of Boston, you%26#39;ll be right near it I believe!
The Museum of Fine Arts is within walking distance for you. Go to www.mfa.org they have the Ansel Adams photos spanning the entire career from landscapes to portraits of his friends, I%26#39;m sure where you%26#39;re from the west coast you%26#39;ve seen his fantastic photos, well they%26#39;re in Boston at this Museum. Right behind the Fine Arts Museum is another unbelievable place called the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum that has an Exhibit going on until January titled the
';Seasonal Garden';
Later on in the day you and your brother could head over to the North End of Boston for dinner! If you%26#39;re there this weekend any time between 9:30AM to about 4:15PM on Dec 3 through the 4th check out ';Paul Revere%26#39;s House'; because costumed guides are providing a glimpse into Colonial Holiday Traditions. It looks quite interesting!
You%26#39;re going to be very busy you know while your brother%26#39;s at that interview. You have to go to Copley Place to the Pru Shops, walk all through Newbury St., Boylston St. area to all the shops on top of visiting the 2 incredible Museums I mentioned.
Save the North End and the Quincy Marketplace area for later on in the day with your brother! Don%26#39;t forget to check out Charles St. and Beacon Hill, everywhere you go it%26#39;ll be lit up with lights for the Christmas season!
Check previous posts here for ideas on where to go as well!
Enjoy your visit to Boston!
Walk the Freedom Trail
Go To Quincy Market
Take a Taxi to Omni Parker House have breakfast first and walk right outside the hotel and the freedom trail starts there and you can walk right on down the trail to Quincy Market Place walking past all the historic sites
Boston COmmon is also right accross the street from the Hotel
If you really want a Boston Experience move the the Parker House as the location and history is great and you can get over to the Medical area in the AM easy as there is no traffic downtown in the morning.
Thanks for your suggestions for the daytime. I%26#39;ll definitely check out the cafe for lunch!
Unfortunately, his interview lasts possibly til we have to leave for the airport, so I guess my main concern isn%26#39;t what I%26#39;ll do for the day while he%26#39;s interviewing but those few hours after we arrive on Wednesday night at 6:40pm.
Is there anything we can fit in to do til 9 or 10 (INCLUDING transportation from the airport). It%26#39;s kinda annoying we have so little time. :(
