The husband and I will be visiting the Boston area in about 10 days. As history buffs, we are very much interested in seeing all of the sites relating to colonial history and to the Revolution.
Hoping to hear from anyone familiar with the city advice regarding areas to avoid, transportation, places to eat, must-see sites, etc.
The Departed made 93 look like a country road.
Of course the real fun is when there is construction.
God, hated driving anywhere in that city.
Just don’t go to “that part of town.” Just sayin.
” ( although I think Route 128 is now Route 95 is it not?)”
Yes and no. It runs with 95 for a good distance,it runs alone up on the North Shore,and also runs with Route 1 for a distance.

Durgin Park
Prime Rib, Baked Beans, Indian Pudding.
Nuff said.
It’s an eccentric place, but the food is plentiful and delicious.
The P-Town ferry day trip can be fun.
shame P town is full of homosexuals, and cross dressers

It’s also full of just plain folks.

We were there last fall. I thought the Freedom Trail was a great way to do it. Almost every few steps, there’s something historic and interesting. And the North End has the best Italian food anywhere!
P Town is an old fishing town—the first place the Pilgrims landed. The whole gay PTown thing has gone away quite a bit since the gay marriage movement has gone the way of the horse carriage.
I like visiting there. Its fun.
Eccentric? Yeah that’s one way to put it.
Mikes pastry shop. I take an extra glipozide when we plan on going to Mikes.
I’m from Boston (and live just south of it). These tours are excellent and fun.
My in laws live on the south shore.
Let tyrants shake their iron rod,
And Slav'ry clank her galling chains,
We fear them not, we trust in God,
New England's God forever reigns.
