During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
John F. Kennedy Library and Museum
The Kennedy era springs to life at this dramatic library, museum, and educational research complex overlooking Dorchester Bay. It captures the 35th president's accomplishments and legacy in video and sound recordings and fascinating displays of memorabilia and photos. Far from being a static experience, it changes regularly, with temporary shows and reinterpreted displays that highlight and complement the permanent exhibits. An exhibit called Campaign! (through Jan 31, 2005) explores the young senator's run for the White House.Your visit begins with a 17-minute film narrated by John F. Kennedy -- a detail that seems eerie for a moment, then perfectly natural. Through skillfully edited audio clips, he discusses his childhood, education, war experience, and early political career. Then you enter the museum to spend as much time as you like on each exhibit. Starting with the 1960 presidential campaign, the displays immerse you in the era. The connecting galleries hold campaign souvenirs, a film of Kennedy debating Richard Nixon and of Kennedy delivering his inaugural address, a replica of the Oval Office, gifts from foreign dignitaries, letters, documents, and keepsakes. There's a film about the Cuban Missile Crisis and displays on Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, the civil rights movement, the Peace Corps, the space program, and the Kennedy family. As the tour winds down, you pass through a darkened chamber where news reports of John F. Kennedy's assassination and funeral play. The final room, the soaring glass-enclosed pavilion that is the heart of the I. M. Pei design, affords a glorious view of the water and the Boston skyline.
Harvard Museum of Natural History and Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology
These fascinating museums house the university's collections of items and artifacts related to the natural world. The world-famous academic resource offers interdisciplinary programs and exhibitions that tie in elements of all the associated fields. On weekends, staffed "Investigation Stations" help visitors learn through hands-on activities. You'll certainly find something interesting here, be it a dinosaur skeleton, a hunk of meteorite, a Native American artifact, or the Glass Flowers.The Glass Flowers are 3,000 models of more than 840 plant species devised between 1887 and 1936 by the German father-and-son team of Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka. You might have heard about them, and you might be skeptical, but it's true: They look real. The flowers are the centerpiece of the Botanical Museum. Children love the Museum of Comparative Zoology, where the dinosaurs share space with preserved and stuffed insects and animals that range in size from butterflies to giraffes. The Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnologyboasts the Hall of the North American Indian, where 500 artifacts representing 10 cultures are on display. This hall is home to the only surviving artifacts positively attributed to the Lewis and Clark expedition. The Mineralogical Museum is the most specialized but can be just as interesting as the others, especially if gemstones hold your interest.
Gibson House Museum
In the Back Bay, the Gibson House is an 1859 brownstone that embodies the word "Victorian." You'll see decorations of all kinds, including family photos and portraits, petrified-wood hat racks, a sequined pink-velvet pagoda for the cat, a Victrola, and an original icebox. Check ahead for the schedule of lectures and other special events.
Sheraton Commander Hotel
This six-story hotel in the heart of Cambridge's historic district opened in 1927, and it's exactly what you'd expect of a traditional hostelry within sight of the Harvard campus. The colonial-style decor begins in the elegant lobby and extends to the decent-size guest rooms, which are attractively furnished and well maintained. Ask the pleasant front-desk staff for a room facing Cambridge Common; even if you aren't on a (relatively) high floor, you'll have a decent view. Suites have two TVs, and some have wet bars, refrigerators, and whirlpools. The Sheraton Commander doesn't have the Charles Hotel's cachet and amenities, but it doesn't have the Charles's prices, either. Plan far ahead if you're visiting during a Harvard event.Facilities: Restaurant (American) and lounge; exercise room; concierge; business center; room service until 11pm; laundry service; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
Radisson Hotel Boston
The neighborhood here isn't the most attractive, due to heavy construction, but this Radisson is a pleasant surprise, popular with business travelers, tour groups, and vacationers alike. The hotel is in the Theater District, convenient to both the Back Bay and downtown. This would be a prime property anywhere: The guest rooms are among the largest in the city, and each has a private balcony (with great views from the higher floors), a sitting area, and a king or two queen beds. The hotel underwent a complete renovation in 1997 and an upgrade in 2003. The best units are the executive-level rooms on the top five floors of the 24-story building. The Stuart Street Playhouse (tel. 617/426-4499), a small theater in the hotel, often stages one-person shows. The hotel also has an indoor golf school and practice facility (tel. 617/457-2699).
Hyatt Regency Boston Financial District
This centrally located 22-story hotel lives two lives: It's a busy convention and business destination during the week, and its excellent weekend packages attract sightseers over the weekend. The building's plain exterior contrasts with the luxurious, European-style appointments in the second-floor lobby and in the spacious rooms, which are decorated in soft, muted colors with lots of cushy upholstery and luxe linens. Guest rooms cluster around four atriums and have semiprivate lobbies, creating the effect of several small hotels in one. Rooms are large enough to hold sitting areas, a desk, and a settee; they have king-size or European twin-size beds. Ask for a room on a high floor, since Washington Street is pretty ugly. Hyatt took over this property, formerly the Swissôtel Boston, in 2003, and plans renovations from late 2004 into 2005; be sure to request a room away from the work zone.Facilities: Restaurant (American/Continental); bar; 52-ft. indoor pool; health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; tour desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; executive-level rooms. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
