During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Museum of Afro-American History
The final stop on the Black Heritage Trail, this museum offers a comprehensive look at the history and contributions of blacks in Boston and Massachusetts. It occupies the recently restored Abiel Smith School (1834), the first American public grammar school for African-American children, and the African Meeting House, 8 Smith Court. Changing and permanent exhibits use art, artifacts, documents, historic photographs, and other objects -- including many family heirlooms -- to explore an important era that often takes a back seat in Revolutionary War-obsessed New England. Children enjoy the interactive touch-screen displays and multimedia presentations, and the patient, enthusiastic staff helps them put the exhibits in context. The oldest standing black church in the United States, the meeting house opened in 1806. William Lloyd Garrison founded the New England Anti-Slavery Society in this building, where Frederick Douglass made some of his great abolitionist speeches. Once known as the "Black Faneuil Hall," it also schedules lectures, concerts, and church meetings.
Old North Church
Officially named Christ Church, this is the oldest church building in Boston (1723). The building is in the style of Sir Christopher Wren. In the original steeple, sexton Robert Newman hung two lanterns on the night of April 18, 1775, to signal Paul Revere that British troops were setting out for Lexington and Concord in boats across the Charles River, not on foot ("One if by land, and two if by sea"). The steeple fell in hurricanes in 1804 and 1954; the current version is an exact copy of the original. The 190-foot spire, long a reference point for sailors, appears on navigational charts to this day. And how's this for a coincidence: Newman was a great-grandson of George Burroughs, one of the victims of the Salem witch trials of 1692.Members of the Revere family attended this church (a plaque is on pew 54); famous visitors have included Presidents James Monroe, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Gerald R. Ford, and Queen Elizabeth II. There are markers and plaques throughout; note the bust of George Washington, reputedly the first memorial to the first president. The gardens on the north side of the church (dotted with more plaques) are open to the public. On the south side of the church, volunteers maintain an 18th-century garden. Proceeds from the quirky gift shop and museum go to support the church.Free tours of the church begin every 15 minutes. The 50-minute behind-the-scenes tour ($8 adults, $5 children under 17) includes visits to the steeple and the crypt. Tours are available on weekdays and on weekend afternoons from June to mid-August, and the rest of the year by appointment. Reservations are recommended.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Cross Salem Street onto Hull Street, and walk uphill toward Copp's Hill Burying Ground. On the left you'll pass 44 Hull St., a private residence that's the narrowest (10 ft. wide) house in Boston.
Harrison Gray Otis House
Legendary architect Charles Bulfinch designed this gorgeous 1796 mansion for an up-and-coming young lawyer who later became mayor of Boston. The restoration was one of the first in the country to use a computer analysis of the wall paint, and the result was revolutionary: It revealed that the colors on the walls were drab because the paint was faded, not because they started out dingy. Furnished in the style to which a wealthy family in the late-18th-century and early-19th-century United States would have been accustomed, the Federal-style building is a colorful, elegant treasure. Guided tours (the only way to see the house) discuss the architecture of the house; post-Revolutionary social, business, and family life; and the history of the neighborhood.
Wyndham Boston
This luxury hotel is contemporary yet conservative -- 21st-century amenities in an Art Deco package. The meticulously designed hotel opened in a complete rehab of the 1928 Batterymarch Building in 1999. Like other downtown lodgings, it draws business travelers during the week and leisure travelers on weekends. The 14-story building is near Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the Waterfront, but not all that close (by downtown standards) to the T. The spacious guest rooms have 9 1/2-foot ceilings and cordless two-line phones. The best units, on the upper floors, afford great views of the harbor and downtown. Soundproofing throughout makes the whole building -- even the halls -- exceptionally quiet. The Wyndham's closest competitor, literally and figuratively, is the Langham, which is less convenient to public transit but has a swimming pool.
Doubletree Guest Suites
This hotel is one of the best deals in town -- every unit is a two-room suite with a living room, bedroom, and bathroom. Business travelers can entertain in their rooms, and families can spread out, making this a good choice for both groups. Overlooking the Charles River at the Allston/Cambridge exit of the Mass. Pike, the hotel is near Cambridge and the riverfront bike-and-jogging path, but it's not actually in any neighborhood. Room rates include scheduled van service to and from attractions and business areas in Boston and Cambridge, making the somewhat inconvenient location easier to handle.The suites, which were renovated in 2002, surround a 15-story atrium. Rooms are large and attractively furnished, and most bedrooms have a king-size bed (some have two oversize twins) and a writing desk. Each living room contains a full-size sofa bed, a dining table, and a good-size refrigerator. The Hyatt Regency Cambridge, the hotel's nearest rival, is more convenient but generally more expensive.Facilities: Restaurant (American); lounge; excellent Scullers Jazz Club; indoor pool; exercise room; free access to nearby health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; shuttle service; 24-hr. business center; room service until 3am; coin-op laundry; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning. Suites for travelers with disabilities are available.
Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites
A limited-services lodging on a busy street, the Holiday Inn Express is a great deal. It's comfortable and convenient -- just a 5-minute walk from the Green Line -- which makes it perfect for businesspeople on tight budgets as well as vacationers. Each decent-size room has a fridge and a microwave, making this a good choice for families who plan to eat some meals in. The eight-story building sits slightly back from the street, but you'll still want to be as high up as possible to get away from traffic noise. If you're willing to do without a restaurant, business center, or exercise facility, you'll probably find that the reasonable rates, which include parking -- a big plus in Cambridge -- more than make up for the lack of extras.
