Boston and NYC - What to do?

[thetalady]

Is it just too ridiculously touristy to suggest Faneuil Hall Market in Boston? I loved walking through it, but it has been a very long time since I was there. Might be too Corporate American now...

Our hotel is overlooking Faneuil Hall, so we can't exactly avoid it. Haha. I feel like it's one of those things you HAVE to do. Again, I grew up there, but every time I'm in the city, I always stop there first, even for just a short period of time. And we'll have a nice view of it, even if we're not standing in the middle of it

You can't "do" either city in just a couple of days.

Boston: Beer snob -> hit the Sunset Grill in Allston. 110 beers on tap. Also, the walk along the Charles River is one worth taking.

NYC: Manhattan has everything - museums, expensive restaurants, hole-in-the-wall restaurants ... and don't overlook the other 4 boroughs.

Have fun!
