Good to see you're in Beantown, Mems. I was there in mid-July and did some whale watching and went to Fenuel Hall and a BoSox game.
Good things I'm sure you'll hear you should check:
1. The Freedom Trail stuff -- Paul Revere's home, Sam Adam's grave, the Old Church where the Tea Party was staged, Old Ironsides, great Americana. Very emotional for me as an American. I find that Boston still holds a good bit of that revolutionary spirit.
2. The Capitol building. Same reasons.
3. The Aquarium -- the best indoor tank (a 40' tall coral reef at the center, 5 stories of tank) I've ever seen.
4. Any type of boat tour of the harbor.
5. Fenway for a game, when it transforms to this wonderful shrine with many streets shut down and turned over to street hawkers.
6. Note that some great clubs are located very near Fenway.
7. I see you've gotten your share of Boston's dives, enjoy. Great seedy bars.
8. Theater district -- check at Hot tickets booths for last-minute tix at 1/2 price for everything from Broadway shows to small stage productions at the Universities or private theaters.
9. Prudential center -- decent shopping, great view from the top (do the bar for the price of drinks rather than the observatory level for a fee).
If you explore America during your time here, and get over Chicago way, I've got a spare bed for your stay, and we're good tour guides here.
Enjoy!
