I've heard the Duck Tour is good. I haven't been on it so I can't say for sure. Have a great vacation!

Good points that I forgot. Mike's has amazing pastries - the line can be a bit long, but it's worth it (and yes, it is on Hanover Street).

You should definitely have seafood for at least one meal while you're here - it is summer afterall, and the seafood is fresh/very good. The seafood restaurants on Boston Harbor are excellent, but you can also go to The Union Oyster House for some good clams and lobster. I wouldn't recommend Legal Seafood (it's not nearly as good as it used to be), but the chowder is still very good.

Have to second the driving thing - driving in Boston is a nightmare, especially your first time going through. Just pay attention to the signs if you're on the T, and if you have a question, ask a passenger or T driver. For every jerk, there's usually someone to help you (I always try to help tourists if I see them having trouble).

I guess Librasoul is in Boston by now. Have there been any reports yet of civic unrest and general mayhem??? :D

Where in the world is Librasoul? :)

I know that Librasoul has already been to Boston, but, for the benefit of those who are coming soon or are planning on coming:

I ate at Turner Fisheries last night (in Copley Square), and they had what I thought was the best clam chowder in Boston. I know everyone talks about Legal's, but the one at Turner was unreal - best clam chowder I've had.

Just thought I'd let you all know.

Dang...I meant to stop back by this thread to thank you guys again for the suggestions! I am back now...Boston was fun! Cream, I was in NYC for a night, but it was waaaaay to hectic. I might be back there for the U.S. Open though...I will keep ya posted!

So what'd you end up doing in Boston - were the suggestions good?
