...Boston has to be my favourite city in the world.
It’s a great city to spend a few weeks for a holiday because there's so much to do. Theres lots of restaurants and entertainment places around such as a few I went- Hard Rock cafe was one of my prefered eating places. Boston has its on baseball team called Boston Red Socks. My favourite thing to do was going to the baseball matches. The hotdogs there rule!
The supermarkets are huge and they have a great choice of food even though it's expensive. Unlike the stereotype, a lot fo food is quite healthy.
The thing that really annoyed me was the toilets there. When you go, and do whatever you want to do, the tend not to flush as they are quite smaller than British ones. We had to get a man in to fix it once which was really embarrasing.
The Boston flats are quite nice...

...Last summer, well in terms of years because we all know about Britain's weather, was really special as i took a trip to the states and visited New England taking the lovely city of Boston. I stayed in a hotel on the very edge of the centre, very close to the two biggest buildings in MAS. The Prudential Tower and The John Hancock Building. A trip to the top during the day and at night is most reccommended as you get to thw hole of Boston if the whether is fine. The centre of Boston is brilliant, with shopping areas, bars, restaurants and cafes as well as quincy market, a food court lasting the length of the old building with multi-cultural food on offer. Also the transport into the centre as from where i was staying you could walk, or take an all-day troley bus which could be picked at the many stops, as well as this the MTA provides...

Advantages: real feel of new england Disadvantages: cant think of one
...are getting off at. I got off at back bay but unfortunately my luggage went to central and it took 46 hours to retrieve it.
The john hancock building gives a lovely view of the entire city and you can gain a free history lesson while in there, althought the history lesson was very much into bashing the english making me feel a little uncomfortable. Cheers bar is just a couple of minutes from there, but be expected to wait in very long queues and pay high prices for a beer ( also remember the drinking age is 21 in the US). Around harvard are some wonderful cafes and some of the best busking i have ever heard. The harbour is beautiful and there are enactments of the boston tea party. The fresh fish here is also devine, i never said i liked fish till i tried the fresh stuff there.
This is a reasonably small city and easy to find your way around...
