Boston is a pretty interesting place, feels much more European than any other city I've been to on the US East Coast.
The Museum of Fine Arts has some interesting stuff and I really am not a big art buff!
If you want to go up the Prudential Center then don't go to the museum, go to the very top floor and have a drink at the restaurant/bar. Getting a drink there is cheaper than paying for the viewpoint and it has double height floor to ceiling windows.
Boston is a great walking city. The historical things in particular that you associate with the city (Fanueil Hall, Old State House etc) are all close together well except the Museum of Fine Arts!
On the food front try L'Espalier or Hammersley's Bistro in the Back Bay part of town, decent grub...

i have to agree, the museum of fine arts and the museum of science are two museums you have to visit. if you are looking for a fun stroll, maybe walk around the boston common park (which is where the cheers bar is), and then onto newbury street. newbury has some of the best shopping in the city, and some very chic restaurants/bars
i know you'll be with your fam, but if you DO get an itch to go out haha, check out the phoenix landing in cambridge (it is on massachusetts ave right by the central square red line stop). they have a weekly techno party every wednesday night which is pretty fun :thepirate
also, the red sox will be playing at home each night you're here, so the city will be buzzing with activity if you go down to the fenway park area (the kendall square green line stop). the stadium is surrounded by bars and people watching the game. one of my fave spots there is boston beer works, a sweet little microbrewery with decent food |

Good one!
Does it make you mad that no one cares about your dumb cause?
Or should I rephrase; does it make you mad that no one even KNOWS about your dumb cause? (and possibly our province). |

i went to school in the area. catch a baseball game. walk around the commons. find a random restaurant on newbury street. do the harvard square thing. i did the duck tour with my aunt and uncle two years ago when they visited and they LOVED it.
i really like boston |
