Things to do in Boston
With its rich history, grand architecture and world-renowned academic and cultural institutions, Boston retains and radiates the glory it has garnered over the last four centuries. Founded almost 400 years ago, many of the most important historic sites blend seamlessly with modern architecture, creating one of the most architecturally diverse and interesting landscapes in the country.
Culturally, Boston is shedding its staid reputation, as artists, thespians and filmmakers rediscover the city’s rich resources and create new ones. With the recent explosion of avant-garde studios and the opening of the Institute for Contemporary Arts, Boston is poised to play a prominent role in the visual arts.
Boston is one of the most charming cities in America to visit. It has an old-world atmosphere which is infused with the excitement of today. Boston is the nation’s center of education and cultural activity. From world-class universities to renowned museums – from the symphony to the theater – Boston has it all!

by BeehiveBlog on Sep 9th, 2010I love to eat in Boston! I recommend Faneuil Hall Marketplace for some great restaurants - I order lobster & mac and cheese everywhere I can and the seafood is great! And, visiting Cambridge and walking the grounds of Harvard is always a great afternoon!
