DESTINATIONBostonBoston calls itself “America's Walking City,” and with good reason: driving can be a challenge. What better excuse to park your car and explore on foot? There's history around every corner.
ARTICLEAttraction Passes
ARTICLEBoston Sports & Rec The religious zeal with which Boston was founded has been transformed into a modern-day fanaticism for sports. In few other cities do even the most rarefied academics follow their hometown teams with such enthusiasm. When one considers the city's bragging rights to a number of athletic firsts and bests, its sports obsession seems quite justifiable.
ARTICLEWhat To Do In Boston Walk the Freedom Trail. In less than 3 hours, you'll see 16 historically significant sites as you follow a 2.5-mile-long trail. Take in history at such landmarks as the Old North Church (193 Salem St.) and the Old State House (206 Washington St.). The Boston Massacre occurred in front of the latter, the city's oldest surviving public building, in 1770. This is just the beginning of things to do in Boston.

RESTAURANT1928 Beacon HillWine Bar, Speakeasy, BistroAlthough you won't find that everybody knows your name, you'll have a chance to reflect on the classic "Cheers" TV series over a pint and an app. Originally the Bull & Finch Pub and inspiration for the show, this touristy stop tempts you with dishes grouped under sections named for the show's characters, such as Sam's Starters" and "Norm's Sandwiches."diamond-approved

RESTAURANTMike's PastryA landmark in the North End since 'nearly forever,' the popular bakery always has long lines, but it's well worth the wait. To say it bustles is an understatement. The pastries are homemade and unbelievably fresh. Those who can't make it into this place may order online. The café sitting area is popular. Hours typically start at 8 a.m. to at least 10 p.m. each day.diamond-approved
