    Best time to visit: July-August. Airfare may be lowerst during the winter, but the snow is the highest. Book a trip for summer, and spare yourself the worry about ice, snow and sub-arctic temps. Read more

    Freedom Trail on a beautiful spring or summer day is the best way to see the city and get the vibe of its people and neighborhoods. It's cheap too with plenty of exercise!

    Great city, super easy to get around, and always things going on. Things just close super early.

    Driving stinks if you're unfamiliar with the layout of the city. With all of the tunnels, you'll easily lose signal and get sent the wrong way if you're using a GPS device. Prepare accordingly.

    Out with of the hundreds of pizza places in the north end Pushcart Pizzeria is the best. It's pretty hard to go wrong with any other pizza place in the north end though.

    Thousands of navy sailors visiting here in town for TALL SHIPS. Meet them by day on board their ships or at night touring Boston's pubs.

    Love this city but it's really expensive. Better to live in Worcester and take the train in. Case in point my 2 bedroom 900 sq foot condo in Boston = 6900 sq foot mansion in Worcester. True Story.

    James Michael Curley was the first mayor of Boston to have an automobile. The plate number was "576" - the number of letters in "James Michael Curley."

    Slowly stroll across the crosswalk when you don't have the right away so I can mow your ass down. Ignorant pedestrians. Natures' speed bumps.
