Fartcat Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 So I'm heading to Boston in a couple months and I'm looking for stuff to do. I'm not really into sports so I don't care about any of that. I'm looking more for record stores, museums, monuments etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fartcat Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 We're staying at the Boston Hilton. I've also heard that Newbury Comics is a nerds wet dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkticon Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 If you DO happen to visit Fenway, however, there is an AMAZING taco place right next to the House Of Blues. I don't remember what the name of it is, but I lust for their fish tacos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 newbury comics is totally awesome. theyre common in MA, so im a bit desensitized. but the ones in boston are crazy. if youre down for a burger, i have 2 recommendations: B Good, which is an awesome "all natural" kind of joint, that also has kickass smoothies. go upstairs to the lounge... so chill. plus there are a few of them in the city, so youre likely to come across one. or Tasty Burger. its right outside fenway, and kind of looks like a dump from outside. but the burger i had there a few weeks ago may have been the best of my life. i went to Fanieul Hall last month, and it was definitely an awesome experience. its a huge marketplace that has somewhat of a carnival feel to it. but cool shops, and a very very interesting atmosphere all the way around. and if you need a good night out, i went to The Good Life recently, and it was a blaaaast. the dj slayed, and they feature a lot of local art- all of it was incredible.

hickey Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 And whoever said The Friendly Toast was dead on. Get the Orleans fries (fries drenched in brown sugar and Tabasco). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcamps Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 i live right behind the arboretum, its a bit far out but very scenic. centre st in jamaica plain has some good few thrift and a very small record store. the garment district/dollar a pound in cambridge is worth a trip too, definitely don't miss harvard sq.
